iTICKS AND STONl 



Dear Folks: 



Of course we know that a pile of concrete and bricks don't in 

 themselves mean much to you, and it's rather foolish to start talk- 

 ing about them, but in spite of it all that's what I want to tell you 

 about today. As a matter of fact it is rather a special pile of bricks 

 that concerns us this time, because it is a new warehouse. Because 

 it is going to mean better service for our customers, we hope it 

 will be of interest to you. 



We feel rather proud of this new home. Really it is much more 

 than a pile of bricks to us. In a sense it seems like coming back 

 home because once more we shall be located on the market. Once 

 again we shall be so situated that farmer and dealer alike can be 

 served quickly and efficiently, so we hope you will like it too. 



Nor is this all that we have to offer in improved service this 

 year. Of interest to our town customers, we call attention to our rearranged retail store 

 down on E Street. For the first time you can be served from the one store room whether it 

 is seed or shrubs or whatnot you desire. There is more room too so that you may buy with 

 less congestion and more comfort. 



When garden time arrives, be sure to come to see us. We think you will be pleased. 



Cordially yours, 



CHARLES W. BOLGIANO, 

 OR MISTER CHARLES.

 There are many rea- 

 sons why seeds do not 

 always turn out as de- 

 sired such as sowing 

 too deep or too shal- 

 low, in too wet 

 weather, cold weather, 

 or too dry soil, or too 

 wet soil, insects which 

 do not only destroy the 

 seeds, but often the 

 young plants, about 

 the time they appear 

 at the surface of the 

 ground. For these 

 causes , we cannot 

 guarantee seeds or 

 the crop.
