"NO KICKS'' 



Along in January we received a most interest- 

 ing letter from The Japan Seed Company, of 

 South Norwalk, Conn. 



It was so 100 per cent near the kind of a way 

 we like to have everybody feel that we do a 

 stroke of work for, that we promptly wrote 

 for permission to publish it. 



They gave us full permission and then added, 

 "Considering that last year we had to Kick 

 with everyone we did business with, it is a 

 pleasure for us to be able to speak a good 

 word for Hitchings when it is due them." 



Below is their first letter: 



"At this time we would like to give a 

 word of praise for Mr. McArthur, Jr., 

 and his assistant. These two very 

 capable, efficient mechanics were 

 right on the job all the time, seeming 

 to take a personal interest in the work 

 they were doing and which they did 

 to our entire satisfaction. Sending 

 out men like these, certainly must 

 make for pleasant business relations. 



"The greenhouse we have is a Hitch- 

 ings House about twelve years old 

 and is 75x25. It was taken down 

 three years ago and lay on the ground 

 unprotected for one whole winter. 

 Last fall we moved it over here, five 



miles; the whole house in six sec- 

 tions only; just piled gables and sides 

 complete, onto a long farm wagon and 

 pulled them over. It speaks some- 

 thing for a Hitchings House when we 

 tell you that this was accomplished 

 without even a sash having been split. 

 Then we propped it up last fall with 

 2 X 4's, so that if the house could warp, 

 it certainly had every chance in the 

 world. This spring we put in our 

 piers and moved the house onto them 

 and the whole thing went together 

 like a new house. 



"Allow us to express our satisfaction 

 with all the work you have done for 

 us."
