Posters Brighten Your Day
"They're selling like hotcakes," says Iowa farmer Ken McKee, of Emerson, who teamed up with his wife Pat, and nephew Brett Wellhausen, of Clarinda, to create distinctive posters with a message.
"We created them ourselves right here on the farm," says Ken. "My wife Pat took the color photos. Brett and I were the actors and co-producers."
An anonymous poem Ken clipped and saved is inscribed on the "Like Father Like Son" poster. The inscription reads:
"A careful man I need to be,
For a little fellow follows me
He says like me he's going to be
That little guy who follows me
I'm molding for the world to see
That little chap who follows me"
The second poster shows Brett behind a desk with a sour expression on his face as he laments the day's dismal crop and livestock price reports. "Farming! If it wasn't so much fun, I'd quit!" reads the inscription below.
Both prints are 11 by 17 in. and printed in full color. They sell for $2.95 each, plus $1.50 per order for shipping and handling.
