Cne of the greatest joys of this great business is the many kind letters we receive daily from our 
customers, expressing their pleasure and satisfaction with our goods and methods. 
Often the most significant part of the letter is embodied in the few words: “My grandfather traded with 
c-> ‘ou years ago.” It is the complete confidence of our customers in our honesty, born of past experience in

a One-time special “below cost offerings” to catch an occasional customer, and

makes our patrons eager to speak a good word for 
us at every opportunity. 
Our prices are 15 to 50 per cent below regular 
retail figures.

Planet Jr. Companion Tools 
Ko. 3. Planet Jr. Hill and Drill Seeder shown below on the right holds its position as the tool 
for perfect hand seeding. Converted in an instant from drill to hill planter and back again. 
Plants in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. A convenient cut-off prevents seed waste in stopping, 
no hills missed in starting. A steel marker rod lines aui rows 6 to 20 inches apart, and it opens 
the furrow, drops the seed, covers different depths, and rolls down. Operator drills or plants in, 
hills all garden seeds with great accuracy, aided by an excellentgraduated index at top of handle. 
No. 12 Planet Jr. Double Wheel Hoe is the ideal companion tool for the above. The crop is 
never too small or too large for it to work perfectly. Its hoes, cultivator teeth and plows are quick¬ 
ly set to do almost every kind of work. Cultivates between or ni tride the rows, scuffles, kills 
weeds, furrows, ridges, etc. Wheels are adjustable for wide or narrow rows and for 
depth, and handles adjust to suit the operator. Leaf lifters avoid injury to low 
plants and permit close cultivation after plants are large.
