Philosophers say that every 

 great institution is the length- 

 ened shadow of a man! 



John A. Salzer, rugged and 

 foursquare in reliability, directed 

 this business for nearly half a 

 century. He built soundly. The 

 confidence of thousands of farm- 

 ers is the richest inheritance of 

 his descendants. It has greater 

 value than all the large struc- 

 tures and acreage. As we prize 

 this faith, we guard it with vigi- 

 lance. Seeds must be of proven 

 vitality and purebred strains to 

 bear the Salzer endorsement. 



In 1868 John A. Salzer person- 

 ally sold his seeds, with a two- 



story shack as headquarters. 

 Now there is a staff of more than 

 500 people; the great warehouses, 

 elevators, offices, etc., total over 

 seven acres of floor space. Every 

 modern appliance of value to the 

 seed business is used. The ex- 

 perimental grounds — Fairview 

 and Cliffwood — are among the 

 largest in the world 



So firmly did John A. Salzer 

 place the imprint of right prac- 

 tice on this business that each 

 shipment — whether a package 

 or a carload of seeds — is as 

 carefully selected as though the 

 founder had filled it in person.
