great responsibility. The weight of the 

 responsibility that an honest man car- 

 ries, who has the buying of a seed stock 

 in his hands, is, in my estimation, the 

 greatest any man can assume. The oc- 

 cupant of such a position is morally 

 obligated to every customer of the house ; 

 he stands between the planter and crop 

 failure. On the other hand, his firm ex- 

 pects him to make money for the house; 

 and fortunate is the man who can serve 

 both masters satisfactorily.

is Conklin's seed house, which is situ- 

 ated up to the tracks of the two rail- 

 roads from Eobinson street, and which 

 annually distributes great quantities of 

 grass and farm seeds to all parts of the 

 country. This firm was started in 1875 

 by E. W. Conklin, the father of the 

 present proprietor, Horace E. Ctonklin. 

 The firm at first had warehouses on State 

 street, and the firm was at different 

 periods known as Conklin & Keeler, and 

 Conklin & Mersereau. Since the death 

 of the founder, in 1896, the business has 

 been conducted successfully by his son. 



"In 1897 the present warehouses on 

 Montgomery street were erected. Last 



season two additions were built, each 

 50x50, one of them of five stories and 

 the other two stories. The main build- 

 ing is 75x420 feet. About twenty-five 

 men are employed and an equal number 

 of girls. The principal business is the 

 recleaning of western seeds and the 

 selling of field seeds, with a specialty of 

 seed peas and corn. Several salesmen 

 are on the road for the firm, and a 

 branch office is located at Harrisville, 

 Mich., where thousands of bushels of 

 peas are annually grown for the house. 

 Here Mr. Conklin has a large warehouse. 

 In the five-story section of the plant is 

 located the department for the recleaning
