Printed message read: "Dear Friend: -- I have no means of knowing at present whether you aided us in our fight with the Binder Twine Trust of not, but I do know that your interest is with the Prison Factory and not with the 'Trust.' A telegram just received from Jackson says that the Twine has all been disposed of, and for the third time the organized farmers have won over the Trust and Organized Dealers. Just think of it! Three Million Pounds of Twine --Fifteen Hundred Tons--handled direct from factory to farmer. That is what we 'Gleaners' call Co-operation. If you have helped us, thanks; if you want our help at any time, just let us know. Sincerely, Gleaner Clearing House Association." Postmarked Jul 2, 1910.
