Doug &Nancys l{ i ° GENERAL STORE L4Dashwood Ont. 237-3403 NEW HOME OF AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION SERVICES Farm publishers move to new location A small move of half a mile to the west is seen as a big step for Agricultural Informa- tion Services Limited (AIS), publishers of specialized agricultural magazines, ac- cording to company owners Peter Phillips and Peter Darbishire. "The move to our own facility from cramped rented offices will enable the staff to work in a more attractive of- fice environment, while pro- viding an excellent invest- ment for the company." Philips explained. The new facility, located at 145 Thames Road West, Ex- eter formerly housed the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority, and before that Kongskilde Ltd. The building provides 6000 square feet of offices and storage, and is situated on 212 acres. Extensive renovations to the interior have changed the building into an attractive and comfortable work area. Prior to the move, AIS was located at 137 Thames Road East in offices at the front of Oud's Warehousing. Many changes have taken place at AIS since the com- pany was purchased by -Phillips and Darbishire in April, 1981: it has grown from a staff of five to a total of nine. Secretary -receptionists are Michelle Watson of Zurich and Trudie Vandersleen of Russeldale. Julianne Brittain.

"We're Canada's largest national publisher of specialized agricultural magazines," Phillips says, "Our advertising department does business with over 700 national and international companies and their advertis- ing agencies throughout North America and overseas." So why did a company do- ing business coast to coast choose a permanent location in Exeter? "If we're in the agricultural publishing business, what better place to be than in an agricultural en- vironment?" Darbishire ask- ed. "Huron county is well known for its progressive far- ming practises as well as its wide variety of cash crops and other agricultural pro- duce," he added. Philips explained that the advertising sales staff and the editorial writers travel a great deal with their work, and Exeter is also a central point for all of southwestern Ontario, where many of the companies we deal with are located." he says. "Besides, our families are settled here - Exeter. and the area around it have all the facilities without the disadvantages of a big city," he added.

"The concept for this magazine was received with en- thusiasm. and we are getting a great deal of input from agricultural researchers, seed growers and seed trade people," Darbishire says. Seed in Canada will go to all certified seed growers across the country. Farm Equipment Quarter- ly is a trade magazine for the farm implement industry and goes to all Canadian farm equipment dealers.

Developing circulation lists for each publication is one of the biggest challenges faced by AIS.
