Business Department

Here is a sample letter received; and we get them every day, and above all we are glad to get them and very grateful for them: “I have been taking TROTWOOD’S MONTHLY for the past five months and I want to say to you that I never invested a dollar in my life that I thought I got as much enjoyment¹ out of as I have the one I sent you for TROTWOOD’S MONTHLY. I hope all who take it are as well pleased as myself. Frank Harrington, Eau Claire, Wis.”

Here is another from Mr. F. L. Wacholz, cashier of the First National Bank, Forest City, Iowa: “I find TROTWOOD’S MONTHLY to be one of the most interesting magazines that I have read in recent years. The contents are suitable for any man, woman or child to read with pleasure and profit.”

If you are “from Missouri” read this one: “Tell your agent in Prattville that I will refund² the money to any one subscribing³ to TROTWOOD’S MONTHLY if they are not satisfied with it. McQueen Smith, Prattville, Ala.”
Mr. Smith can refund if called on, for he had 1,200 acres of cotton in one field last year.

If you feel inclined to help us along—if you think we deserve help—you can do us a great favor by asking your friends to send for a sample copy, or send us their names and we will send the sample copy.

We have received several letters within the past month from northern subscribers asking for information in regard to the South. We are always glad to give any information within our power, and will endeavor to stick just as close to facts as information in our possession will enable us.

Advertisers when spending money for advertising⁴ space want to know where their inquiries⁵ come from. If you will always mention that you saw the advertisement in TROTWOOD’S MONTHLY we will appreciate it. We protect you by running nothing but clean and reliable advertising.

“Strictly sound and guaranteed” sounds good in an ad., and the Bay Colt advertised by P. O. Box 786, Columbus, O., is to be sold with that understanding.

D. D. Streeter, of Kalamazoo, still offers Thespian⁶ for sale, but the price has been raised. It sometimes pays to buy quick.

The Horse Exchange Co., of Vevay, Ind., can fill the bill if you will tell them what you want.

Dr. Hopkins, of Fort Branch, Ind., offers something worth the money. In fact The Home of Bert Onward⁷ has some very attractive bargains—not the marked-down kind, but horses worth the money.

If you know of anybody looking for a thorough and practical man to manage their farm, you might call their attention to the ad. of J. H. G. in this issue. We happen to have a personal acquaintance with this gentleman, and if you are from Missouri, he can “show you.”

If you have a stallion to trade for a splendid pacing mare⁸, read the ad. from Mr. Dunlap, Clarksville, Ark.

C. R. Kilbury, Plain City, Ohio, offers a stallion that seems to have plenty of backing in his pedigree, and it will pay you to read his ad.

Ideal Stock Farm, at East Aurora⁹, N. Y., have two offers in this issue, and Mr. Bradburn, the Superintendent¹⁰, makes it a point to stick to FACTS in his ads.

Fleetwood 6280 is offered for sale. Here is the sire of a number of first-class race horses, including JACK¹¹ 2:14, that can be bought for cash or on a trade basis.

Duff Green, of Lonoke, Ark., offers a model stock farm well stocked and equipped that ought to please somebody looking for a mild climate.

The Grattan-Gentry fillies for sale by Buchanan Farm, Sedalia, Mo., are said to be extremely handsome and certainly have a rich inheritance, being backed by fourteen world’s records; ten on the John R. Gentry’s side and four on the Grattan side.

A. T. Cordray, of London, Ohio, is willing to dispose of a six-year-old sorrel gelding that has never been started, but will go if given a chance. Read his ad. in this issue.

Speaking of advertising, we have a letter from one of our patrons who have been advertising with us from the start, who say they are advertising in several other publications, and that they are getting more replies and more business from TROTWOOD’S than from any of the others. We are going to publish their letter in the next issue, so look out for it.

Dr. E. Marshall Harrell, of Media, Pa., offers some good horses for sale, as he thinks he would like an automobile¹² better than the horses. The doctor probably knows best, and no doubt has marked the price low to make a quick deal.

Dr. W. R. Spooner, of Republic, Ohio, offers a good trade or cash deal on Daughter Militant¹³.

C. H. Roberts, of Rochester, Minn., will find what you want in case he has not got it. Would like some one reading this ad. to buy all his horses, for he says he is coming to Tennessee to live some day.
