EQUAL TIME
Dear Editor:
How about a little equal time?
I enjoyed reading your article
about putting a "Heal Seal”
symbol on all those large blue
structures that can be found all
across the country. 1 was disap
pointed however that you men
tioned only Harvestore as the one
with “blue billboards.” What about
the people who are number 2 with a
20 percent market share of the
oxygen limiting glass fused to steel
business? I am of course talking
about Sealstor.

We also have a few large “blue
billboards” that can be found all
across the country, and since we
do, I believe we should take the
initiative with your idea. I am
therefore informing all of our
dealers that the “Real Seal” will
be available for any of the
customers who wish to have this
important symbol displayed on
their structures.

FARM BROCHURE
Dear Editor:
At Hickory Hill Farm we host
hundreds of people in tour groups
each year - Nursery School,
Kindergarten, Grammar School,
High School, FFA and many
college and foreign groups. One of
the things that amazes many of the
students, parents and teachers is
that a cow can convert products
that humans cannot utilize such as
green grass, hay, silage, etc. into a
product that is as wholesome,
nutritious and good as MILK.
Our son, Wayne, usually leads
the tours or in his absence his wife
or our herdsman takes over. The
final touch for each tour group is a
plug for REAL dairy products as
the groups are shown a REAL
SEAL (either on a farm cap or
pulled from a coverall pocket). We
believe this is a real clincher in
Jiifc

making folks aware of the seal on
REAL dairy products.
Also, all adults receive a copy of
our farm brochure telling of our
dairy operation and promoting
some of our Registered Holsteins.
One fold of our brochure is devoted
entirely to MILK with the REAL'
SEAL at the bottom.
Thank you for constantly
pushing the idea that all dairymen
need to be promoting and using
their own products. From our own
personal contacts, we find there
are many who could care less
about promotion.

BAN SOFT DRINKS
Dear Editor
1 have an idea for promoting
milk. And 1 wonder how many
others feel the same way? And that
is to outlaw soft drinks (our
enemy) at Ag Progress Days and
at the Farm Show.
Or maybe the farmers are too
ashamed of their product to serve
Do soft drink companies serve
milk? Do cotton producers
promote polyester?
No, and neither should Farm
Promotions sell soft drinks by the
thousands on farm promotion
days. Serve milk, milk shakes and
ice cream.
Also, start placing pitchers of
milk on tables at farm related
meetings. Also serve milk at farm
sales.
