A Slogan for the Seed Trade. 



As we all know, the United States 

 Oovernmont has made the rather bold 

 statement, "Food Will Win the War— 

 Don't Waste It!" Ami this has been 

 advertised In every town and small 

 hamlet throughout the United States. 

 The Post Office is even using it to 

 cancel stamps. 



So it occurred to me that we should 

 adopt the more positive and stronger 

 slogan, "Food Will Win the War- 

 Produce It!" We are now using that 

 slogan on everything that leaves our 

 establishment. We have recommendei 

 it to the Bureau of Increased Food 

 Production and they are adopting Its 

 use. 



Mr. Heinz, Food Administrator for 

 Pennsylvania, has requested through 

 .Mr. Therkildson that this same slogan 

 be taken up by the American Seed 

 Trade Association, and that all seeds- 

 men in the United States be requested 

 to publish broadcast the statement. 

 •Food Will Win the War— Produce it!'. 



In this respect I might say that I. 

 of course, realize that we might get 

 more individual credit and advertis- 

 ing value if we used this phrase ex- 

 clusively. But at the request of Mr. 

 Heinz I would be only too gHad to 

 have the Seed Trade as a whole take 

 this slogan up and push it throughout 

 the entire United States.

Annual Dinner of Peter Henderson 

 & Company. 



The annual dinner tendered by Pe- 

 ter Henderson & Company to heads of 

 departments and travelers was held at 

 Spilkers restaurant. 33 Cortland 

 street, on Tuesday evening, January 

 16th. twenty-five being present. The 

 evening passed very pleasantly. Every 

 man in his turn responded to the re- 

 quest of the manager, Mr. O'Mara. 

 for his views on the forthcoming sea- 

 son, and many valuable suggestions 

 were made. The general trend of 

 opinion was a very hopeful one and 

 everyone was optimistic about the vol- 

 ume of trade that was likely to be 

 done the coming season, particularly 

 in the essentials, namely vegetable 

 and field seeds, fertilizers and imple- 

 ments. 



The head of the flower seed depart- 

 ment was certain that the aesthetic 

 sense, particularly as applied to wom- 

 en customers, was still in existence, 

 and would have its effec^. He very 

 wisely remarked that the lady of the 

 house would be bound to have her 

 flower garden no matter what else 

 was allowed to be neglected, and that

fonsequently flower seeds and bulbs 

 would still be in demand. He thought 

 that because of the war there would 

 be a greater demand because the wom- 

 I'U would want more brightness than 

 usual about their homes. The vege- 

 table seed men differed from him, and 

 it will be interesting to note the out- 

 come when the facts are all in. 



Mr. Hunter presided at the piano 

 and rendered in his usual inimitable 

 manner a choice selection of up-to- 

 date songs, those of a patriotic nature 

 being highl.v appreciated, and all met 

 with rounds of applause. 



At the close of a very pleasant and 

 instructive evening a standing toast 

 was drank to the employes who are 

 now in the service, and the fervent 

 hope was expressed that they would 

 all return safe, sound and victorious 

 before the next annual dinner came 

 around.
