The illustration shows the Des Moines home of Successful Farming, captioned 'The Farmers Service Station': a large brick building with a tall tower and smokestack, surrounded by evergreens and flying a flag. An oval portrait of publisher E. T. Meredith appears at upper right. The building was promoted as the magazine's modern fireproof plant. Successful Farming was founded in 1902 and published from Des Moines, and the caption casts the structure as a service station for its farm readership.
White border; halftone dot pattern; light corner wear.
No postmark, stamp, or handwriting present. Divided-back advertising card printed on the reverse for Successful Farming (E. T. Meredith, publisher), describing the magazine's modern fire-proof plant. Paper toned with light foxing and corner wear.
