Good Seeds Cannot Be Bought Anywhere 



for Less Than 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 appreciation 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. 



J. J. Steckler, 

 President.
