Gwen from Scott County Iowa made copies of this listing and sent it to me. Lenore Schlimmer from Muscatine County typed this database up for me and I, Dave Dunston, the webmaster, put html coding in this database to present it online. Thank you Gwen and Lenore for helping me make it possible in putting this database online. The letters below are links for the first letter of the surname. But the surnames under each letter are not necessarily in complete alphabetical order so please go thru the whole webpage to make sure you don't miss the person you are looking for. Good luck in finding your relatives!!
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W Y Z FOREWORD This volume is one of a special edition compiled and printed for the families now residing in the Tural Territory mentioned on the title page.
The first important feature of the book is a complete list of residents of this territory – your trading center. The information has been compiled by well-trained and careful representatives of the Publishers, and rechecked so that few if any errors can be found.
It will be noted that a considerable number of the names given in the list are printed in capital letters. This method is used to distinguish those who are subscribers to THE FARM JOURNAL; and the large number of them, as well as the evident fact that they are the best known and most highly respected members of the community, is a source of much gratification to the Publishers.
The second and really important main feature of the book named “How To Do Things,” is a great collection of facts, methods, ideas, helps, short cuts, handy devices, implements, etc., which have been gleamed from the pages of THE FARM JOURNAL. Some are old because some very old things remain ever new; but most are new, well tested, and well-adapted to the present day need of the up-to-date farmer.
In particular, we have been careful to include many special articles on subjects which are of the highest interest to readers, as proved by the great number of letters and inquiries received by the Editors. Their job of furnishing reliable, helpful, and interesting reading, month after month, to more than 1,000,000 farm families in all parts of the United states, gives them unequalled opportunity for knowing what Farm Folks are interested in and want to know about. Then their great motto is, “Let us ever help and never harm our readers.”
This is the sort of reading that has appeared, appears now, and will continue to appear in THE FARM JOURNAL, and whch we confidently believe will appeal, friend reader, to you.
