To Know Each Other Better: 
Y ou as a seed-user . . . we as seed-suppliers—why shouldn’t we 
know each other better? 
Besides offering you fine seeds, this book takes a step toward 
better acquaintance. Some pages tell little picture stories about 
some of our men and equipment. The next step will be up to you. 
Maybe a visit here. Or maybe you will send us a snapshot or some 
pictures this summer, showing yourself in with some good crops 
you have grown from Hoffman Seed. 
These past 38 years at this business have been mighty pleasant 
. . . meeting so many good folks, serving so many thousands more. 
The future can be more so, if more and more of us get better ac¬ 
quainted. Because that brings better understanding of each other’s 
problems. . . . And Hoffman Seeds stand ready to do their part— 
a mighty big part. They are ready for you . . . clean, hardy, tested, 
suited to your section. And they really will make money for you! 
Let them be the means of bringing us closer together. 
A. H. Hoffman, Inc. 
An inborn desire for good seeds caused 
Mr. A. H. Hoffman (left) to start this business. 
That was in 1899. He continued its operations 
in the barn of his farm until 1913. Then built 
our first warehouse here in town. . . . Founded 
the First National Bank of Landisville, and 
served as its President until his death in 1917. 
. . . A strong power for good in his com¬ 
munity, and also among the great number of 
his converts to his gospel of Good Seeds. 
From father to son the mantle passes. William 
F. Hoffman (left)—active in the business the 
past fourteen years, and President of our com¬ 
pany the past three years. Also serving on 
the local bank board. Just as firm a believer 
in Quality Seeds as was his father. 
Warmly thanks you for your continued con¬ 
fidence in our company and its seeds. Invites 
your letters and calls. Pledges complete satis¬ 
faction all along the line.
