Faribault, Minn., Jan. 15, 1936. 
I OFTEN wonder how many read this page—or who would miss it should it 
be omitted. Somehow it is difficult to break a tradition, and that is what 
this annual greeting has come to be—after 48 years. 
We want you to know that the same personnel is here to look after your in¬ 
terests. It means that we are again ready to serve you faithfully, as in the 
past, and that you are going to be fully satisfied before we are. 
If you are a newcomer and care to inquire of our good friends at the Minne¬ 
sota Experiment Station, St. Paul, they will tell you how we co-operate with 
them to give you the best seeds “Old Mother Earth” produces. Much valuable 
information can be gained from this Annual—may it 
help you to become more prosperous. That is our 
wish for 1936, and a hearty thank you to our many 
loyal friends for continued patronage. 
Sincerely yours, 
E. J. KIEKENAPP, President.
