ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR FRIENDS 

 AND PATRONS. 



THE war is over but the rehabilitation of Europe and the 

 relief of the poverty stricken and starving people of all 

 those nations will of necessity depend upon the United 

 States. As the South is especially adapted to the 

 planting, growing and cultivation of crops we should not relax 

 our efforts but plant more and of the very best. The truth of 

 these observations is known to all who read the daily news- 

 papers and it is not only a profitable but an essential task which 

 is set for the American farmer in equipping himself with the 

 means to accomplish these laudable and necessary achieve- 

 ments. 



European countries of necessity will not furnish many seeds 

 and the general crop of all seeds is limited. Our old established 

 house, in a situation of this kind, is in a position to render 

 service and it is a gratification to us to feel that we are pre- 

 pared for such an emergency. 



The difficulties that might have been expected in our line of 

 business have been overcome and v/e are pleased to announce 

 that we will maintain our reputation for supplying our custo- 

 mers with only the "Best." All our seeds are grown regard- 

 less of expense or time and the tests we make weekly are a 

 guarantee of their quality. The purchaser has the satisfaction 

 of knowing that in buying from us he is certain to get first 

 class seeds, which with proper cultivation and fertilizing assure 

 the success of his crop. 



Pride in maintaining the reputation of our business methods 

 and keeping our seeds and service up to the standard which we 

 long since established, have at all times called forth our best 

 efforts. No sacrifice in either time or money has been too great 

 for us to make to satisfy our customers. Our extensive and 

 growing business is a gratifying testimonial to this policy. 



Service has ever been our motto and our reward is in the 

 knowledge that we have lived up to it. Appreciating the fact 

 that the tiller of the soil in large or small degree is a valued 

 and useful citizen it has always been our ambition to second 

 his efforts tc the best of our ability. He is a producer and our 

 Interests are mutual. He may at all times rely upon our faith- 

 ful and hearty co-operation. 



We are complying -with the Government's request in the 

 paper situation and have reduced our Catalogue in size. How- 

 ever, we have not omitted anything that will contribute to the 

 welfare of the Planter or Trucker. 



We are here to serve you. 



Yours truly, 



J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD.
