MAP MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT. 
WHICH SHOULD CAUSE MEN WHO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN EVERY TREELESS 
COUNTRY OF THE WORLD TO WONDER WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. 
See map of Illinois and remember hundreds of expert American engineers, stockmen, farmers 
and cotton growers are in every country teaching those who for centuries operated with wooden plows 
how we do things on a large scale. 
Yet so many say, “Planting trees for lumber or saving 
millions of farms from ruin by soil erosion is foolish, a 
waste of time and money.” 
Will taxpayers be able to care for the millions unable 
to make a living or too old to get their former jobs back, 
the small home owners who have not paid taxes or interest 
on their mortgaged homes since 1930? 
The printed matter herein was COLLECTED FROM 
ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD—HAS NEVER BEEN 
PRINTED BEFORE. Read it, think it over, cover the 
countries of the Far East as I have and you will no doubt 
decide SOMEONE IN YOUR DISTRICT SHOULD 
TAKE THE LEAD IN THIS WORK. 
Read the first 10 lines again on the other side. Look 
over the table of the lumber cut from 1839 to date in the 
TREE SUPPLEMENT. Run over the article on the 
wrapper showing the standing timber we have left and re¬ 
member today we have 27 million pupils, but if we never 
use more lumber than we did in 1900 when we had 15,503,- 
000 pupils, every child will use imported lumber after they 
grow up. 
BE A GOOD DADDY—ORDER SOME TREES OR 
TREE SEED FOR THE KIDDIES IN YOUR 
SCHOOLS AND TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT HAP¬ 
PENED IN ENGLAND AND EUROPE IN THE 16TH 
CENTURY AND IT WILL CERTAINLY HAPPEN 
HERE UNLESS MEN WHO DO THINGS TAKE THE 
LEAD INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THOSE WHO 
ARE ALWAYS READY TO CRITICIZE BUT NEVER 
DONE ONE GOOD THING THAT WILL CAUSE 
PEOPLE TO REMEMBER THEM BY AFTER THEY 
ARE GONE — AND THERE ARE MILLIONS 
As someone said: “THE HUMAN RACE IS OF TWO CLASSES—THOSE WHO GO A- 
HEAD AND DO SOMETHING, AND THOSE WHO SIT STILL AND INQUIRE WHY IT 
WAS NOT DONE SOME OTHER WAY.” 
FRANK S. BETZ BETZ BLDG. HAMMOND, IND. 
P. S. Mr. E. W. Durkin, Waukegan, Illinois, on February 14, 1934, ordered 25,000 Black and 
Japanese Walnut, Hickory and other trees to be planted on land to be held in trust for his boys who 
are 7 and 9 years of age. 
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every man who could afford it would think of his children and plant a 
few trees THAT WILL PRODUCE DOLLARS FOR EACH CENT INVESTED.—Betz
