Your dollar is still a 
big dollar 
<Biuin$ 
In past years we have saved farmers thousands of 
dollars on their seed purchases. We are in position to 
do it again this season. YOUR DOLLAR IS STILL 
A BIG DOLLAR AT BRUNS. 
We make no claims of performing miracles. The 
savings we make our customers are due to our direct 
buying and selling methods. Our plan of operation 
eliminates many intermediary handling costs and 
profits that are common to traditional seed selling. 
Our stocks cope to us in carload lots directly from 
the producing sections, and are redistributed directly 
to the farmer. There are no unnecessary middleman’s 
profits. Our own profit, based on large volume, is held 
at a minimum. In many instances our prices to the 
COMPASS BRAND SEEDS 
COMPASS BRAND is our finest quality. 
This trade mark stands for highest degree of 
perfection in farm seeds. It is the seed buy¬ 
er's assurance of strictly top notch quality, 
the finest obtainable. Only seed of hardy 
• origin, high purity, bright, uniform color and 
plumpness is used for this grade. 
COMPASS BRAND is for the man who wants 
the .best. It is the choice of those who recog¬ 
nize in it a standard of excellence. Yet it is 
not over-priced. It doesn’t cost a premium. 
In fact, it is quoted below prices usually asked 
for lower qualities in most places. 
COMPASS BRAND can be had in Medium Red Clover, Mam¬ 
moth Clover, Alsike Clover, Sweet Clover, Alfalfa (several va¬ 
rieties and origins), and Timothy. Throughout the catalog you 
will find the COMPASS emblem appearing wherever a lot of 
COMPASS BRAND seed is described. 
farmer are wholesale, and in some cases even less. 
Seed prices have risen some since last season. The 
tendency is for further advances. We do not believe 
they should rise faster than farm commodity prices. 
We have kept this principle in mind in arriving at the 
prices as quoted throughout the catalog. 
Other Grades 
In addition to COMPASS BRAND, we are able to furnish a 
second, and sometimes a third, quality in practically all Clovers, 
Alfalfas, and Grasses. These have been given lot names, and 
are fully described wherever they appear in the catalog. 
These lots are a shade lower in quality than our COMPASS 
BRAND. Usually less fancy in appearance and less uniformly 
graded. However, they are not low grades of questionable de¬ 
pendability. We offer them as reliable quality. They are priced 
low and make possible a reduced seeding cost. Ail are sold under 
our usual guarantee. They must satisfy you or they may be 
returned and your money refunded. 
EXTRA! EXTRA! 
Just as the catalog goes to press, we have purchased and ii- ; 
stalled a new Buckhorn Separator, which was developed apd 
perfected during the past year. This new machine is an elab¬ 
orate and costly device that removes Buckhorn from Clover qr 
other seed with almost human precision. Our 
machine is the first of its kind in the state. 
Buckhorn is a noxious weed, and may be 
found on many corn helt farms. It is" not a pre¬ 
tentious weed, and frequently farmers are un¬ 
aware of its presence until the seed is discov¬ 
ered in their seed crop. Jt is extremely difficult 
to clean out, and prior to the creation of this 
new mill it was impossible to make a satisfac¬ 
tory separation. We expect to use the machine 
for custom cleaning as well as our own stocks: 
Farmers troubled with this weed may bring us 
their seed for cleaning. 
Modern Seed Cleaning 
Facilities 
Our new seed plant is equipped with 
the very latest and most improved seed 
cleaning apparatus built today. We are 
equipped to do almost every conceivable 
kind of seed processing. Several newly 
developed seed cleaning machines have 
been purchased during the past few 
months and installed in the new plant. 
We have one of the most efficient seed 
cleaning lay-outs in the country. 
It is hoped that many of our custom¬ 
ers may find occasion to call at the plant 
this spring. It will be a pleasure to take 
them through the seed cleaning rooms. 
WE DO CUSTOM CLEANING 
Many farmers firing within driving dis¬ 
tance of Davenport bring their seed to us 
for cleaning. Our extensive cleaning equip¬ 
ment enables us to do thorough work and 
make the seed comply with the seed laws. 
Cleaning rates depend on kind and condi¬ 
tion of seed, and number of operations re¬ 
quired. Bring or send in a sample we 
can then rive you the rate. If you sell us 
the seed there is no cleaning charge.
