Steckler^s Low Prices

TO MY FRIENDS : 



When ''QUALITY" is lacking, "PRICE" means nothing. To sell is no 

 longer considered the chief end of business. SELL, SERVE, and SATISFY 

 are the three ingredients for success. ';.- 



Your continued patronage and confidence is the best-expression of your ap- 

 preciation of MY service and your SATISFACTION. Many thanks to the 

 thousands of loyal friends for their patronage. 



I want you to feel that we are not mere traders, but that we are close 

 friends. I have years of experience in all lines of Agriculture and Horticulture 

 and I want you to feel free to write me when in need of any advice or aid, I 

 assure you that I will be glad to impart to you any knowledge that I may have 

 on the subject you are most interested in. 



When you are in our beautiful city, visit our store.
