FIVE CARTOONS BY W. C. MORRIS
Another Kind of Advertiser
BY OLIVER S. MORRIS, EDITOR
Probably few of our readers, without specific evidence to the contrary,
would believe that there are advertisers who, far from thinking our paper "too
radical"—far from opposing the program of the organized farmers because it
will "tear down the government"—actually think the Leader DOES NOT GO
FAR ENOUGH, that it is "too tame" and not nearly as "radical" as economic
conditions warrant.
So, after introducing you in these talks to the advertisers who refuse to
advertise because they are against the program of the Nonpartisan league, or
who advertise with misgivings because they think us too radical, let me intro
duce you to Mr. Laurenz Harris, president of the Mineral Nutrition company,
formerly the Northwest Manufacturing & Milling company, of Aberdeen, S. D.
Mr. Harris, as you know, has used our advertising columns. I met him the
other day in our advertising department office, where he had called to arrange
for more Leader space. He told me he haj had splendid business results from
advertising in the Leader, and he attributed the success of Leader advertising
to the fact thatyou, our readers, believe in the paper and the program of the
organized farmers, and that furthermore you show your loyalty by patronizing
the advertisers who use our space,, because you know that these advertisers
are fair to your cause.
Well, I got to talking witK Mr. Harris about the policy of the Leader. I
knew him, of course, to be a man who, regardless of what his political and
economic views might be, was not of that class of business men who expect to
influence the opinion of editors by advertising, or who refuse to advertise in any
publication friendly to the liberal program of reforms advanced by labor and
the farmers. He would not be a Leader advertiser if he was that sort. But I
expected him to advise me to "tone down".the Leader—that it was too "ex
treme," too "radical," the usual thing we hear from advertisers, even from those
who u^e our columns. But Mr. Harris said quite the opposite.
"The L.ader is he said, and hastened to add: "Pine as far as it
goes." "How so?" I acked. "You are too tame in policy," he said. "Political
and economic conditions really warrant much more vigorous language
you u_e. Give it to them stronger, with more 'pep.' You can't go too *gttoiig
in expotlng the political and economic evils and. abuses farmers suffer from.
Don't be afraid of hurting any one's feelings. Go after them! Any one who
has the real interests of the farmer at heart knows that these questions can-:
not be adequately discussed in temperate language. The farmers are,with,
you. Go to it!"
Here '. a business man whS:i-*eally looks op. the farmers' problems as the
farn.ers themselves look upon themT^fl^ we will not' adWiit that the Leader is
"tame." In answer to that "charge^ fey Sir Harrm^we^can produce 1,000 busi
ness men and advertisers who_ declare we are throwers and secret agents
.of Lenin!

A New Log Saw
Cuts Faster, Costs Less, Makes
More Money for Users and
Works While You Rest.
A new_improved power log saw, now
tdoes all otl
rood quickly
little cost. A new 4-cycle, high power
being offered, outdoes all other log
saws in cutting wood quickly and at
eve
motor equipped with Oscillating Mag
neto—no batteries to fail you—makes
the saw bite through logs faster than
other log saws. It finishes its cut and
is ready for another before the ordi
nary saw is well started. This log saw
—the Ottawa—has a specially designed
friction clutch, controlled by a lever,
which starts and stops the 'saw with
out stopping the engine. Others have
imitated, but no other power log saw
has this improvement just like the Ot
tawa. The Ottawa Log Saw sells for
less money than any power saw of
anything like its size.

Outfit
Patent Applied
For.
The Improved Model, 4-H. P. Ottawa Log Saw.
One man wheels this outfit from cut
to cut and log to log like a barrow.
Separate attachments cut down trees
and cut up branches. Extra power lets
the engine do heavy work of all kinds,
Owners of the Ottawa Log Saw laugh
at coal shortages and are making big
money with ease, the machine doing
the work. 35 to 50 cords cut any day,
rainy or dry, by one man, are normal
figures. And wood is approaching $20
a cord! The Ottawa is compact, simple
and durable. It sells for cash or easy
payments and is guaranteed. If you
have wood to cut the Ottawa Log Saw
will be the most satisfactory machine
you've ever owned. We suggest that
you write the Ottawa Mfg. Co., 2344
