EDWARD BARTLING 
SEED COMPANY 
Business Established in 1S71. 
Nebraska City, Nebraska. 
Since the early 70s Bartlings have been serving agricultural regions including Otoe courtty-ajid its vicinity. Be¬ 
fore the coming of the railroad to this side of the Missouri river, when shipments of grain were made orT'thfr^a ld M uddy, 
the Bartling name had already been associated with transactions in grain and seed. At that pioneering staae-»in N* nfwlt 
City’s development shipments of com were actually made by waterway to St. Louis, an actuality then, whir# t(j3|?y, aiter 
a lapse of over half a century, appears once more as a commercial possibility, thanks to the tremendoiifc efforts tJf^th^v 
government to establish a channel down the ever-changing courses of that recalcitrant river. _ ^ 
It was before the flood of 1881 which innundated the Iowa bottoms when the river, instead of flowlhgi.p$tst th^fgot 
of Nebraska City’s main street, turned in its course about a mile upstream and provided an excellent cfocking site f 
grain barges which had been towed behind steamers the long six hundred mile trip from St. ^gujs.^i^ferftfH^fo^ 
miles 
around contracted in advance of these arrivals to sell their com and wheat and deliver it in thrpp-'W #<h»L. frnrfch &*' £<-> 
crude landing built to accommodate them. The late H. H. Bartling sent many barges loaded with Otoe coBfrtj^jgram^si. 
southward and thus established one of the earliest farm-to-market routes known to this region. It is still a function 
importance with the present organization. This price card on seeds and grains, will enable you to dispose of your surplus 
stocks or replace those depleted stores to the best advantage. Over 65 years of service make us reliable agents.
