GOOD NEWS FROM WING. 



Last February the Wing Seed Co., of 

 Mechanicsburg. O., a])]died for the ap- 

 pointment of a receiver. Since then 

 not much has been heard from it. How- 

 ever, a recent letter from Charles B. 

 Wing, the president, throws a cheery 

 ispoct on the futur<^ of the company. 

 The letter r<>ads in part as follows:

 :' receivership, Darius .7. Burnham, the 

 riHieivcr, stated that there were plenty 

 ipf assets, if they could be sold. Since

 men, with prospective customers of all 

 kinds, and 1 have thoroughly considered 

 >evera] selling methods.

 )icss world is upside down, and many 

 business men have been confronted with 

 tht^ same situation that we have been; 

 that is, the necessity of absolutely 

 "hanging their old methods. Gradually 

 -I have worked out a selling plan, and
