"^Uill the Boys Come Home 



E AMERICANS are pledging ourselves to 

 put forth high courage every new day, 

 regardless of reverses, to live right all the 

 time, which means keeping splendidly 

 efficient, — in short, to do cur individual 

 jobs well, regardless of difficulties. All 

 this that we may be better men, that the Boys over 

 the Blue Water may never question the support of 

 the Homeland, and that Morning may not be long 

 in coming. 



You are, to a greater or less extent, connected 

 with the production of food. Your limitations in 

 this great work are only bounded by your equipment 

 and your desire. (Even the shortage of workers is 

 only changing the kind of production — never the 

 volume. ) The matter of the size of your operation 

 isn't vital — it is all fine, the intensive garden rows 

 and the extensive farm acres. It is the great whole 

 that counts, the magnificent national spirit that is 

 sweeping America, that Everyone will help win 

 the war. 



In a quiet, unassuming way our company has 

 furnished seed for a million Allied Acres. Perhaps 

 yours are among them; if so, we greet you as an old 

 friend, hoping all goes well. Perhaps we welcome 

 you for the first time to the friends of Windermoor ; 

 if so, we stand at your service. To one and all we 

 extend midsummer greetings as one American to 

 another — sharing with you a quiet determination to 

 play the game even to The Last Long Mile.
