Remarkable Canadian Farmer's 18 Year Growth in Saskatchewan
An 18 year story of E A Guillemin, a French Canadian immigrant who arrived in 1891 with little money and built a vast farm empire in Saskatchewan. He owns 6880 acres, 6000 under crop, and has 8,000 acres total across fifty quarter sections. He threshes 50,000 bushels annually, with 34,000 sold at 84 to 87 cents per bushel, and 16,000 stored. His first threshing machine cost 2100 dollars and earned 3000 dollars in a season, with no weather losses. He has 104 horses and cattle, invested about 10,000 dollars in buildings, and continues expanding as he saves. He invites readers to join Hastings Bros Excursion on May 3 to see such success.
