WI DO OUR PAST 



HALF-CENTURY and seven years 



# Fifty-seven years ago, the late 

 William C. Beckert, the founder of 

 Beckett's Seed Store, started the seed 

 business which proved so successful 

 under the policies he so firmly estab- 

 lished of reliability and quality of seed 

 stocks, together with dependable busi- 

 ness principles. These business creeds 

 established by our founder over a half 

 bf a century ago have been the means 

 of establishing a reputation for and a 

 confidence in Beckert "s Seeds, which has 

 ever been among our most cherished 

 possessions. 



The present management of Beckert's 

 Seed Store wish to assure all of our old 

 and new friends and customers of a 

 continuance of these selfsame policies 

 and principles and that we regard your 



good will as one of our greatest assets. 

 We will appreciate any suggestions 

 that will assist us in our constant ef- 

 forts to improve our service.

THAT LEISURE TIME 



It is an acknowledged fact that the many changes 

 that have taken place in our economic conditions 

 since the establishment of the N.R.A. have all 

 lead up to the point that insures for everyone a 

 greater amount of leisure, time. One of America's 

 big questions will be: how will this leisure time 

 be occupied? 



For decades everyone has longed for more time 

 in which to beautify our homes and we will now 

 have the opportunity to put in effect the various 

 plans which have been laying back in our minds 

 for some time. In' addition, one can also enjoy 

 more fully, the most healthful and economical 

 home sport of Vegetable Gardening.
