A WORD TO ALL 



1889- 1921 



Dear Folks: — 



It's sort o' hard to write you a fine, flowery 

 letter when I'd rather just sit down with you and 

 talk things over a bit. I know there are lots of 

 things we could talk about. You can always think 

 of so many interesting things when you get into a 

 good comfy chair by the fireside. Of course, I 

 don t know how you are feeling today. You 

 may be feeling fine or you may be blue, and so 

 I am just going to take it for granted that you 

 are beginning to realize that it is a pretty good 

 little old world after all. We must all try to 

 forget any hard knocks that we received last year 

 and look forward to making a better success of 

 the coming season. 



During the war we learned the lesson of 

 conservation, and that lesson is one which we 

 should now practice more than ever. It is a 

 time when we should make those farms pro- 

 duce the very best quality products that is in them 

 to produce, for it is the high quality products that 

 will command the prices worth while, and will pay 

 us in the end. Those gardens, too, must be made 

 to serve us as they never did before, and we shall have good profit to our credit when the 

 coming season is over. More than this, it is a time when we must keep in good spirits and 

 let the good cheer of the Christmas season follow us thruout the year. 



Just before I close this little personal word, I want to thank all my good friends for 

 the support which we received the past season, and I want to congratulate you all for 

 the magnificent showing which the American farms and gardens made this year. For the 

 coming season my most sincere wishes are yours that this may be the happiest and most 

 prosperous of all New Years. 



Cordially yours, 



FRANK W. BOLGIANO, 

 or Mister "#."
