SALZER KILLED BY AUTO. 



Henry A. Salzer, president of the 

 John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., 

 one of the largest seed houses in the 

 United States, was crushed to death 

 August 22, when his car turned turtle 

 off a narrow road on Dresbach Hill, 

 a mile from the village of Dresbach, 

 Minn. Mr. Salzer was ground against 

 a stump by the heavy machine. He was 

 one of the wealthiest men in the trade, 

 and had many outside interests. 



Ralph M. Ward & Co., of New York, 

 have opened a branch office at Boompjes 

 82, Rotterdam, Holland. The office is in 

 charge of J. Henry Thomas, for thirteen

 purpose of this office is to superintend 

 the purchasing and shipping of European 

 bulbs, plants, etc., and to facilitate 

 prompt shipment from European ports.

of paper, to be used in the various issues 

 of their catalogues during not only the 

 year 1916, but also the entire year of 



1917. This consisted of several carloads 

 of paper and amounted to a considerable 

 outlay of money, but they have already
