Show Page 4 UTAH FARM BUREAU A. Supply Program Reviewed in our reader's interest to print the following interview with Ed Thomas, Manager of the Utah Agricultural Marketing We think it is Association. Q. A. IS IT TRUE THAT FARM BUREAU REALLY IS OFFERING BETTER PRICES ON TIRES? IN THIS PROGRAM? Anyone who is currently a Farm Bureau member. Q. HOW DO I GO ABOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS PRO- GRAM? A. You should go to your county or State office and ask for a order for the tire or tires you wish to purchase, tire pick-u- p order to our Intermountain you will then take the pick-u- p Farmers Association plant (or if there is not a Intermounfain Farmers Association plant in your area, service stations are being set up to serve you), and exchange it for the tire or tires the order calls for. The tires will be paid for when you pick up the order. THE US ROYAL MASTER? From every indication, our tires'are as good or better than any tire, we know of. We have had some in service long enough to know they are high quality. Q. DO YOU OFFER PASSENGER CAR TIRES AS WELL AS TRUCK ELIGIBLE TO BUY TIRES A. HOW DO PRICES COMPARE WITH THE PREMIUM TIRE YOU'RE SELLING AND SAY, FOR INSTANCE, THE FIRESTONE 500 OR A. Yes, we can furnish to our members all types of tires. About 65 of the tires we have distributed, have been car tires and a big percent of these have been the Mark IV, our premium tire. Q. WHO'S Yes, it is true that we are offering tires to our members at a much better price than can be expected from most tire dealers because of the volume we purchase. First we are not in the business of selling tires, we ore buying tires for our Farm Bureau members. Now to answer your question: It is difficult to compare the prices on our premium tires with the price Firestone 500 and U.S. Royal Master are selling for, because they vary in their prices. But, there has not been any case where I have found the prices on the tires you name or any other premium sold near our prices. Q. WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE TIRES? March, 1966 NEWS you do not have a Farm Bureau office in your county, someone has been appointed to do this' work of writing out pick-u- p orders, and receiving the money. These people and offices will have price lists. You can call your county supply committee chairman, or county president for further information. If Q. I'VE HEARD THAT ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE TO BUY TWINE AND WIRE, SEED AND FERTILIZER. A. TIRES? WHAT ABOUT THIS? We have worked with fertilizer for several years, as a result, we are buying fertiliz er lower thanwedida few years ago. We baler wire and twine, have also made some headway-wit- h especially twine. By pooling our needs and buying in large quanities, money can be saved.
