addition was built in the rear of the 

 4-Btory building owned and occupied ex- 

 clusively by this corporation. It af- 

 fords about forty per cent more space 

 for the filling of orders and handling of 

 stock in the shrubbery department. 

 Foundations strong enough to carry 

 three more stories have been laid, so 

 that eventually the old and new build- 

 ings will have the appearance of a single 

 init. 



It seems as though a continuous build- 

 ing program was on at this seed house. 

 In 1916 the first unit, two stories in 

 height and 60 x 140 feet, of reinforced 

 cone ret e construction, was built. At 

 that time it, was thought by the mem- 

 bers of the 'firm that this unit would 

 eare for about three or five years' needs. 

 But ill 1918 two more stories had to be 

 added. It seemed as though this would 

 take care <»f several years' growth, but 

 the closing of the war brought such an 

 increase to the business of the shrub 

 and bulb department that the 1-story 

 addition last summer became an abso- 

 lute necessity. 



The output of this concern has been 

 confined to seeds in packets and mailing 

 sizes of bulbs, shrubs, roots and vines. 

 Modern equipment has been installed, 

 80 that orders may be filled with as 

 little delay as possible. This includes 

 eight Brown bag-filling machines. The 

 United States Postal Department keeps 

 employees on the premises who cancel 

 stamps and route all packages direct to 

 the trains instead of through the Cleve- 

 land postofBco. This in itself is a sav- 

 ing of time for the customers of the 

 house, as one handling of mail is elimi- 

 nated. 



SEVEN POINTS OF SEEDSMAN. 



Charles A. Heath, president of the 

 Albert Dickinson Seed Co., Chicago, has 

 seven points, instead of the famous 

 fourteen, by the observance of which 

 the prevailing unrest and economic dis- 

 order may be remedied. At an evening 

 service held recently in the First Pres- 

 byterian church in connection with the 

 greater Chicago campaign, Mr. Heath 

 listed his points as follows: 



1 — Increase food production imme- 

 diately. 



2 — Regulate cost prices and punish 

 profiteers instanter. 



3 — Distribute labor equitably and 

 regulate nonessential industries. 



4 — Refund the national debt. 



5 — Cancel the allied debts. 



6 — Build good roads. 



7 — Improve rural life in America.
