MANY of our customers have written us letters like 
that. And a lot more have shown their satisfac- 
tion by sending us repeat orders. Over 42 per cent 
of our business in 1918-19 came from our old 
customers. Add to that tlie new orders that came from 
their recommending us to their friends and you can readily 
understand why we are so particular to send out nothing 
but first-class nursery stock and to supply reliable infor- 
mation on how to take care of it. 
We appreciate that "a satisfied customer is the best 
advertisement." We are particularly dependent upon the 
good will of our customers for our continued success, be- 
cause we have no agents but sell direct-from-nursery only. 
^lost people like our method of doing business. They 
like to know that they are getting as good terms and prices 
as the other fellow. They realize the advantages of buying 
from a responsible concern that is evidently interested 
in their success — tliat is always ready to supply needed 
information and to promptly adjust any mistakes. 
Of course our prices are higlier than last year. So 
are our costs from SO to 100 per cent and more; for In- 
stance apple seedlings cost about ten times as much as 
last year. Good trees are worth more. Look at the prices 
good fruit brings. One of our good customers bought 
an orcliard last December for 87,000 and sold the crop 
this year for $10,000. 
Please do not ask for credit. Our prices are not casli 
— all discounts have already been deducted. If we 
sliipped on credit, it would be necessary to increase our 
prices to take care of the losses that are bound to come 
in doing a credit business. Kxperience has also taught 
us that wlien a customer pays in advance, he is much 
more likely to give his trees and plants proper care and 
attention. 
AVe want you to be successful so you will come back 
to us for more and bring your friends with you. 
Yours for Growing Satisfaction,
