Seed Trade 



The business of G. W. Rogers wlfo 

 died recently in Yokohama, Japan, is 

 ofEered for sale. 



Joseph Milton, formerly with the 

 Wm. Donnellson Co., of Minneapolis, 

 has taken a position with the Iowa 

 Seed Co., Des Moines, la. 



It is asserted by good judges of the 

 situation that the proposed seed in- 

 spection legislation has no chance of 

 becoming a law this year. 



Cratz Bros, dealers in clover seed, 

 118-120 Ontario street, Toledo, O., 

 have suspended business. The sudden 

 decline in clover seed and the irregu- 

 larity of the market for some time are 

 given as reasons. This firm has been 

 in bu.siness since 1SS5 and since the 

 death of Henry Cratz, two years ago, 

 William E. Cratz has been at the head 

 of the company. 



The Nebraska Seed Co., Omaha, 

 Neb., has entered suit against A. 

 Rousset, of Paris, France, to recover 

 $3500, on a contract tor seed which 

 when delivered, they claim, proved to 

 be of inferior quality to that ordered 

 and paid for. They ask tor a writ of 

 attachment upon certain assets of M. 

 Rousset, said to be in the hands of the 

 Adams Express Co. 



It has been announced that The 

 Hill & Ross Co., dealers in seeds and 

 farm implements, and The Hayes 

 Music Co. have been merged into The 

 Hayes Co., of Toledo, with a capital 

 of $80,000. The incorporators of the 

 new company are J. M. Hayes, P. C. 

 Hayes, A. L. Irish, J. P. McAfee, and 

 S. S. McAfee. The Hill & Ross Co. 

 has been in business for some time 

 and had a capital of $30,000, The 

 Hayes Music Co. had a capital of 

 19,000 and a surplus of $40,000. The 

 present stores of the companies will 

 be abandoned and The Hayes Co. will 

 locate in Cherry street. J. M. Hayes 

 will be president and general mana- 

 ger of the new company. The Hill & 

 Ross Co. was located in Superior street 

 a very fine location for the retail trade.
