PLAN No. 434. MARKETING EGGS, BUTTER AND MILK
Of all the numerous opportunities afforded the country woman for making money, none present so many possibilities as do the supplying of many real luxuries to people who need and want fresh eggs, butter and milk.
A farmer’s wife, who lived near a large city in Illinois, saw in these unsatisfied wants her opportunity for mutual benefits, and having a large number of chickens and milk cows on the farm, she set about utilizing these products in a way that meant a great deal for scores of city people, and for herself as well.
Through the insertion of just a little ad. in the classified columns of a city paper, she received replies from over one hundred city people who were interested in the prospect of buying these products, and she thereupon hired a good woman to help with her housework and marketing. Through the parcel post, she sent to the city every day the freshest of eggs, butter, milk and cream, and was soon in receipt of an income that paid all her own personal expenses, the wages of her assistant and the tuition for one year of her daughter who wanted to enter college.
