GRAND JUNCTION SEED COMPANY 
GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO 
Hello Friends: 
It f s surely a privilege to make you this personal visit. We f re 
coming in and make ourselves right at home. We come to tell you that it 
was just wonderful the way you stood by us this past year. And we’re going 
to tell you something else, too--how to avoid taxes. Yes, it can be done. 
Your friendly letters, which have come from every state, including 
Alaska, telling about the excellent crops produced from Mile High seeds 
and the prizes won at fairs, make us feel better acquainted and more 
welcome to your home than ever before. We are very anxious also to become 
better acquainted with the new friends to whom we are paying our first 
visit and to tell them all about our Mountain Grown seeds, how and where 
they are produced. 
Better quality seed has always been our aim, and after passing 
through two of the hardest years our country has ever known we are more 
convinced than ever before that if you stick to quality you are sure to 
come out on top. Perhaps this is more true in the seed business than in 
any other line. The first cost of seed is so small compared to the crop 
produced that it surely doesn't pay to sacrifice quality when buying seed. 
The appearance of a seed tells you nothing as to what it will 
produce; therefore we realize that when you purchase Mile High seeds you 
are placing your confidence in us as seedsmen. 
Friends, this is what we're trying to tell you (we're just human 
like you folks), that to make our business a success we must have your 
conf idence : and to maintain this confidence we must give you prompt and 
courteous service and supply you with the best seeds that your money can 
buy. The growth of our business proves that we have won your confidence; 
and your friendly letters spur us on to even greater efforts in 
serving you. 
At the present time nearly everything is taxed, but as yet we have 
not heard of any tax on green vegetables. This is your chance to avoid 
taxes. Plant every vegetable that will grow in your garden; have a supply 
for summer and for winter storage also. You can't overestimate the cash 
saving a complete vegetable garden will make; but more important is the 
perfect health for your family that more and better vegetables will bring. 
Start your garden early and make repeated plantings of quick maturing 
varieties. Be sure to have plenty of peas, beans, tomatoes, and sweet 
corn for canning. 
Make the home beautiful and attractive. Plant more flowers and 
shrubs. Have an abundance of blossoms in the garden and plenty of cut 
flowers for indoors. There's no tax on this kind of home improvement; 
but flowers will bring a world of happiness that cannot be valued in 
dollars. 
Why of course we want to sell you the seed. How did you guess it? 
Just look over the prices at which we are offering our specially selected, 
early maturing, mountain grown seed, and you will see that we are not 
charging you any tax on the seed either. 
Your patronage and also your friendship have been thoroughly 
appreciated and you're all wrong if you think that we don't care to be 
bothered with your letters. When the mail is opened in the morning and 
a nice lot of letters from you folks are brought to my desk, they sure 
help to start the day right. We're always glad to get them; and I will 
gladly work overtime to give each one a personal answer. 
Your friend, 
NEAL PLAISTED, 
Sec. & Mgr. Mail Order Dept.
