STOKES SEED FARMS COMPANY 



MOORESTOWN NEW JERSEY 



The Buyer-be-pleased Policy Is 

 Placed On An Intimate 

 Personal Basis 



It Is Your Guarantee of Fair Trading 



ORDERING seeds, tractors, bulldogs, or anything else purely on what the 

 other fellow says about it, is taking some risk when you are too far away 

 to see the finished product yourself. There must be a connecting link of 

 confidence, and therein are my services offered. There are many contributory 

 factors for trouble either inside our o-wn organization or entirely outside the pro- 

 vince of either buyer or seller. The point is the world is not perfectly run as 

 yet. The machinery does break dowTi in the best managed organizations. How- 

 ever, in dealing with this company, I want it plainly understood that it is our 

 business to make every purchase a satisfactory purchase. I, therefore, hold 

 myself responsible for safe delivery and satisfaction on delivery. I will personally 

 see that matters are made right, either by replacement or by a return of the 

 money expended on all cases of complaint which are reported within ten days ' 



of receipt of the package. The purpose of inserting this crude photograph is purely to let you know who stands 

 responsible, and who it is you can always communicate with personally on any matters. I want you to know 

 there is a personal element to this business, which is your guarantee of fair dealing— this from a policy firmly 

 grounded on the principle that the buyer be pleased. My desire is that every customer shall receive more 

 for his money than he anticipates. 



Yours for fair trading.

President and Manager.
