GEORGE J. FOSTER 
Remarks 
To My Friends and Patrons Generally: 
Again I wish to express my thanks for all past favors and to 
solicit a share of your future patronage. My stock is all well grown 
and young; and though limited in supply will be furnished at prices 
named while it lasts. My lists of varieties comprise the leading sorts, 
and I shall give the purchaser his selection as far as possible, but 
reserve the right to myself where not forbidden, and do not have sorts 
named. Where parties forbid substituting, shall fill the orders dnly so 
far as I can supply the sorts wanted, but if possible please give your 
second choice in case I am out of those varieties named as your first 
choice. Giving my personl attention to the business, I shall exercise 
the greatest care and endeavor to have all trees, shrubs and plants 
true to name. Yet I do not give any warranty, expressed or implied, 
and in case of any error on my part, it is hereby mutually agreed be- 
tween the purchaser and myself that I shall not at any time be held 
responsible for a greater amount than the original price of the goods. 
Terms: Cash or satisfactory security before shipment. Orders 
to be sent “C.O.D.” must be accompanied with one-fourth the amount 
in cash. 
Reference: First National Bank, Normal, Illinois. 
Prices: Prices herein are limited to the spring of 1908, and rule 
only when the number specified is taken; 5 will be furnished at 10 
rates; 50 at 100 rates; 500 at 1,000 rates. 
Packing: The prices do not include packing, for which I charge 
moderately. Packing is done mostly in boxes, sometimes in bales or 
parcels, for which 1 charge only sufficient to cover cost. For boxes 
8 or 9 feet by 2 y 2 feet, $3.00; 10 feet by 3 feet, $3.50. Smaller boxes 
in proportion. Spring packing usually begins about the middle of 
March. 
Remit by postal order, bank draft on New York, St. Louis or Chi- 
cago, payable to the order of GEO. J. FOSTER, or currency by ex- 
press, prepaid. 
All articles, after leaving my hands in good condition, are entirely 
at the risk of the purchaser, and no complaint will be allowed, unless 
made within ten days after receipt of goods. 
My shipping facilities are excellent. Normal, a suburb of Bloom- 
ington, has the benefit of rates of the latter place, both for railroad 
and express matter. The I. C. R. R. and branches, C. & A. R. R. and 
branches, L. E. & W., and Big Four R. R.’s and American and United 
States Express Companies are all convenient. 
All orders will have my personal and prompt attention. 
GEO. J. FOSTER, Normal, McLean County, Illinois.
