OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our stock to be of the best quality always, 
and to be delivered in good condition. We are extremely 
careful in seeing that all plants and trees are correctly labeled 
and hold ourselves responsible to replace, on proper proof, 
any that may prove to be untrue to label, or refund the pur- 
chase price. In the event of error on our part, of course, it is 
mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves, how- 
ever, that we shall at no time be held responsible for a greater 
amount than the original purchase price of the stock.

OUR PACKING AND SHIPPING FACILITIES 
We have the most modern buildings possessed by any nursery 
in the Northwest. Every tree, plant or shrub is packed under 
cover with wet moss or similar material, wrapped with waterproof 
paper and burlap, and then immediately shipped or delivered, 
thus insuring the minimum of exposure to the trees or plants 
and then prompt delivery. This is of great importance to the 
purchaser of nursery stock. We have experienced employes 
who are thoroughly trained in the handling of our class of 
goods. Our many years’ experience in the handling of nursery 
products enables us to deliver stock that satisfies thousands of 
customers in all sections of the Northwest. 
In the interests of ideal growing conditions our nurseries of 
more than 200 acres are located at Waterloo, Wisconsin, ap- 
proximately twenty-four miles east of Madison, Wisconsin, 
sixty miles west of Milwaukee on Highway 19, and on the 
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. 
The location of our nurseries at Waterloo, Wisconsin, af- 
fords growing conditions that are ideal in developing stock 
particularly adapted to the climatic conditions of the North' 
west. The quality of soil found there is best suited to the 
healthiest possible conditions of growth, producing a solid, firm 
texture of wood with abundant fibrous roots so essential to sue- 
cessful transplanting, and enables us to offer the products of our 
nurseries in the firm confidence that they will give lasting satis- 
faction. 
INSPECTION 
Our nurseries are inspected by the state entomologist twice 
a year, as required by law, and we hold his certificate that our 
stock is free from injurious insects and contagious diseases.

McKAY REPRESENTATIVES—AT YOUR SERVICE 
Nearly every portion of the territory served by the McKay Nursery 
is serviced by a McKay representative. Perhaps you know the McKay 
representative in your community. While a few of our men are com¬ 
paratively new in the organization, others have been with us for as 
many as twenty years, serving the same territory and the same patrons 
year after year, for McKay stock, once ordered, never fails to make 
friends who continue to insist on the McKay stock year after year. 
If you do not know who the McKay representative is in your community, it will 
be very much worth your while to become acquainted with him. Just drop a line to 
the McKay Nursery Company, and we will gladly send you his name and address, or 
request him to get in touch with you. There is no obligation whatever. 
Each McKay Nursery representative plans on calling on all his patrons and friends 
at least once a year, but more often several times, as required. Securing your order 
is but one step in the service he renders. He is not satisfied until you are satisfied 
completely. After your stock is planted and growing, it is his policy to call and make 
certain that your McKay stock is giving you the kind of results and satisfaction that 
you have a right to expect. 
Decide now to become one of the thousands of home owners who, in their own 
best interests, always wait for the McKay representative to call before placing their 
nursery stock orders. He will advise with you helpfully, keep you informed of the 
latest developments in the field, and serve you faithfully, for his welfare year after 
year depends directly on his deserving your business friendship and on receiving your 
endorsement and patronage.
