 Mr. H. L. Messick, 

 Pomona, Cal. 

 Dear Sir: 



I wish to congratulate and express to you my 

 thanks for having been induced to try your celebrated 

 Tree Tonic and Root Extract. I think it has been 

 quite beneficial to trees affected with gum disease, 

 and tends to build up the tree in general, (well or sick) . 

 I must say you are a wizard in your line. 



Personally am very sorry that you do not have 

 eye sight that you might see the beautiful rich green 

 color of the orange tree, and especially beautiful when 

 treated with your preparations. 



Yours very truly, 

 (Signed) H. J. VANIMAN, 



Vice-President.

 Dr. Webber, 

 Riverside, California 



My Dear Doctor Webber: 



I take pleasure in introducing my friend, Mr. 

 H. L. Messick of Pomona. 



Mr. Messick has given life-long study to the 

 care of apple and orange trees, and I feel sure he has 

 some information that would be valuable to the grow- 

 ers in general. Anyway, he would be glad to meet 

 you and have a little talk with you about the interests 

 of the citrus industry here in Southern California. 



Sincerely yours, 

 CHARLES C. CHAPMAN.
