NEW ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE AND SEED STORE. 
ESTABLISHED 1822 . 
51, 52, and 53 NORTH MARKET STREET, BOSTON, MASS. 
In the Interest of Employers and Employees in General. 
Early fn 1890, having long realized the necessity of such a medium, we established a Bureau of Registry 
and Information, whereby employers of labor in the lines of Horticulture and Agriculture could be put in com 
mutiication with reliable persons seeking situations. The fact that NO PERSON was admitted to registration 
until he had been carefully looked up by us, together with our well-known respectability and responsibility, 
soon won the approval of employers and employees, and insured the usefulness of our new departure from the 
start; we were, however, but partially prepared for the success our Bureau soon achieved. As the public became 
aware of and appreciated the principles on which it was conducted, we began to receive inquiries for employees 
and for situations outside of the lines we originally intended to accommodate, and as these inquiries rapidly 
increased, we experimented, and the number of situations for book-keepers, cashiers, salesmen, clerks, shippers, 
porters, and boys, in almost every branch of business, satisfactorily filled by us, we believe fully warrant us in 
announcing to the public that we are prepared, through our Bureau of Registry and Information, to put em¬ 
ployers of MALE HELP in every known occupation in communication with reliable persons seeking such 
positions. 
A RECORD WILL BE KEPT of the names, addresses, and the present and future engagements of all 
applicants who prove to be qualified for registration. Particulars of actual experience and capabilities, salary 
expected, and testimonials from past employers will be on file. 
PARTIES WISHING TO ENGAGE the services of reliable men in any position, or competent and 
reliable men desirous of filling any position, if of good character and habits, are respectfully invited to call or 
communicate with us. 
BLANK FORMS, in which employers can state the particulars necessary to govern us in selecting suitable 
men, will be furnished on application. 
APPLICANTS FOR SITUATIONS will fill out and sign registration blanks, which we will furnish, 
stating fully the kind of place and salary that they will accept. On receipt of the same properly filled out, the 
references given and former employers are written to, and if the replies are deemed satisfactory, the applicant’s 
name will be entered on the register, when he will be entitled to all the benefits connected therewith, and put in 
communication with employers desiring such service as he seems capable of rendering. 
WE DO NOT ORDINARILY GUARANTEE employment; neither do we, tin less specially requested, 
negotiate with employers or with applicants for positions, as employers generally prefer to make their own 
selections. 
WE ARE, HOWEVER, prepared not only to guarantee employment, but to negotiate between employer and 
employee if desired. Circulars covering our conditions and terms in such cases will be furnished on application. 
FOR POSITIONS OF TRUST or extra responsibility, we are prepared to furnish first-class insurance 
against dishonesty of employees, on the most reasonable terms. Full particulars on application. 
WE OFFER PATRONS of the Bureau the conveniences of our store as a place where employer and 
employee can meet, and privacy will be insured if desired. 
INQUIRY WIL.L BE MADE at least once each year of employers as to the charcter, habits, and general 
satisfaction given by employees obtained through our"Bureau, so far as we are able to locate them, and the 
reports kept on file. 
WE RESERVE the right to remove the name of any applicant for a situation from the register at discretion 
A NOMINAL FEE will be charged to assist in maintaining the Bureau. 
WE BELIEVE this Bureau has a tendency to improve and elevate the service, and supplies a long-felt 
want. We trust that both employers and employees will appreciate the efforts we are making in their behalf, and 
give our Bureau of Registry and Information their hearty cooperation. 
Yours respectfully,
