Of Interest 

 To Small Growers Only 



Before me lies the report of sales from 

 all our offices for all the year. It shows 

 every item from a box of glazing nails to 

 a big 600-foot greenhouse. Opposite 

 each separate sale is the customer's 

 name. 



It's safe to say that a full 25% of the 

 purchases are for amounts not exceed- 

 ing $5. 



Fully 60% more are for small green- 

 houses or greenhouse materials running 

 from $100 up to $10,000. 

 Only 1 5% are for the so-called big houses . 

 Which facts go to prove that as big as 

 our big house business is, still by far the 



greater amount of our business comes 

 from the little sales to the little grower. 



We tell you all these inside facts because 

 every once in a while we hear of someone 

 who has hesitated to write us because he 

 felt we were too big a firm to bother 

 with his little order. The truth is, that 

 if it wasn't for the little fellow, we 

 would have to go out of business 

 tomorrow. 



Furthermore, the little fellow of today, 

 is the big one of tomorrow. We need 

 you when you are little; we want you 

 when you are big.
