The Mail Order Department of the 
STARK BRO’S NURSERIES 
Louisiana, Mo. 
Makes Some Surprising Offers — 1 Week ONLY! 
(WEEK of March 2nd to 8th — ONLY) 
Dear Friends: ($20,000 WORTH OF FINEST STARK TREES GIVEN AWAY) 
For the past 21 years, the first full week in March (this year March 2 to March 8) 
has "been set aside each year at the Stark nurseries as Sales Directors' Week. 
The Mail Order Department — the department that sells direct to customers — 
fights it out with the Salesmen's Department every year for office supremacy. During 
this big week (March 2 to 8), every order counts — no matter how large or how small. At 
the close of the week, Friday Night, the sales are counted — and the department that has 
shown the largest percentage of gain as compared with Sales Directors' Week the previous 
year is declared the winner. 
The Officers of the Company enter whole-heartedly into the spirit of the 
contest — and to make it more interesting and more exciting they offer certain honor 
and other prizes to the Members of both Departments to encourage them. In addition to 
these prizes there is a certain prestige that comes to the winners that is of even more 
value than the prizes offered. So forty people in the Mail Order Department — Directors, 
correspondents, clerks, stenographers — every one — are up on their toes striving for 
victory. 
The Mail Order Department understands that all this doesn't mean much to the 
Customer — except that it may appeal to his love for a fight — so we have decided to 
make it very much worthwhile to those who place their orders so they will reach us during 
the week of March 2 to March 8 — before the last mail Friday Midnight, March 8. 
Valuable premiums are being offered to every Customer who places his order 
during this week — and these premiums will, I know, appeal to every one — because they 
have been carefully chosen, and are of real and lasting value. 
We feel that you will probably place an order with us this spring anyway — 
if so, we know that you will want to take advantage of our special Sales Directors' Week 
Offer — and get this added value without a cent of extra cost. That is our offer to 
you if you will help out this department by mailing your order so it will reach us during 
the week of March 2 to March 8 — not later than Friday Night, March 8. 
I ask that you consider these Premiums: 
1. One of the best Fountain Pens we could buy. 
2. A beautiful Fountain Pencil — Pearl white and gold. 
3. Subscription to American Fruit Grower — America's Greatest Fruit Magazine. 
4. $20,000 worth of FREE TREES that cut the price you pay almost in half. 
Read the special offers on the inside pages of this circular — also the FREE 
TREE OFFER on the back page. Then make out your order on the inclosed ORDER BLANK and 
mail the order so it will reach us during the week of March 2 to March 8 so you can win the 
Prizes and get FREE TREES! Use the inclosed envelope — it will bring your order 
directly to my desk. 
Yours very truly, 
P.S. Be sure to write the Premiums 
due - you on the Order, or they 
will not be sent. 
President, Stark Nutseries.
