Through The Ages—A Pecan Grove In Your Memory. 
A Living Memorial 
To 
Through the Centuries 
■fa § 
"Make the World 
I 
a Bit More Beautiful 
and Better 
Because 
Edward Bok wrote of his grandmother's creed— 
“Make the world a bit more beautiful, and better, be¬ 
cause you have been in it.” His ancestors had taken 
a barren lonely isle and transformed it into a place of 
vegetation, birds and beauty. 
What a fitting nameplate for a memorial pecan 
grove—what a beautiful thought to live up to, and 
leave behind. 
Pecan tree experts have assured us pecans will bear 
not only for generations but for centuries. It is esti¬ 
mated that they may live for 1,200 years, and still bear 
profitably. 
How much better it would be to leave a grove bear¬ 
ing your name—a place of beauty, shade and breeze, 
and birds that these trees would attract—an oasis in a 
cold and hurrying world—a veritable garden spot for generations to come. A monument that 
would live and carry on your name much longer than a cold drab stone which would soon 
be passed by unnoticed, unhonored and unsung. 
May we suggest that you plant a pecan grove in memory of your parents, or even for yourself, 
so your good work on earth will last, and continue to grow down through the ages? 
A memorial pecan grove that will per¬ 
petuate a name for centuries to come. 
In addition to the sentiment of a pecan grove 
as a memorial, there is a definite and tangible 
investment, a worthwhile and practical inheri¬ 
tance for your children, your children’s children, 
and their children's children. 
On the next pages you will learn of actual 
investments, how trees have produced more and 
more each year—a perpetual source of income 
and of constantly increasing value—frequently 
on land that would otherwise be idle or hardly 
profitable as being productive. Nature will en¬ 
rich you, and coming generations, with pecans. 
Pecan trees are known not only for their nuts 
but also for their abundance of shade, and un¬ 
excelled beauty. Plant them on the highways, 
the byways, the city streets—in front of your 
school buildings (pass this idea on to your 
School Board). These trees will provide lots of 
shade, attract the birds, and produce nuts. They 
will prove to be excellent windbreaks for a 
house, as they are in themselves able to with¬ 
stand hard winds. Property values are imme¬ 
diately and constantly increased when pecan 
trees are planted, even though one or two.
