THE MODEBN SEED STOBE. 



'Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, 

 has its new building at 518 Market 

 street in thorough working order. This 

 result of twenty years of experience in 

 developing a large seed business, from 

 a modest beginning, is full of interest. 

 System in every detail, order and neat- 

 ness, form the foundation on which a 

 great structure has been built in a score 

 of years. Each problem has been care- 

 fully studied and mastered until the 

 machinery that requires over 100 em- 

 ployees to operate it runs even more 

 smoothly than the first attempt of 

 twenty years ago that required but four 

 assistants to put and keep it in motion.
