SONS...DADS.. . AND GRAND-DADS 
Now Buy HOFFMAN’S SEEDS 
The lines above tell you a true story. ... In many cases three gen¬ 
erations in a family have bought or are buying Holfman’s Seeds. 
Yes—even Great Grand-Dads. That fact must mean something 
to any farmer who needs seeds, and must find a dependable source 
to buy them from. 38 years have now passed since the first bushel 
of Hoffman’s Seed Wheat was sold. How could this business have 
grown as it has if Hoffman patrons didn’t get value received on their 
seed purchases? There can be only one answer—Hoffman’s Seeds 
have given satisfaction. They will continue to do so. Hoffman’s 
Seeds make money for you! 
Since 1899 many so-called seed firms have come and gone! Same 
as in other lines of business—there have been many ''fly-by-night' 
operators in the seed business through all these years. 
This little story may interest you. There has been no change of 
ownership here at Hoffman’s. Mr. A. H. started our business. To¬ 
day his son, W. F., heads our company, his mother retaining much 
of his father’s interest. The management remains exactly the same 
as through all these years. Very few employees have left us in years 
past. Twelve of the people shown in the picture on the center 
pages of this book have averaged nearly 18 years with the Hoffman 
Company. We feel these facts have some bearing on where you 
should decide to send your orders for farm seeds. You should count 
on getting fair treatment! 
“Your Hay and Pasture Mixture is worthy of all recommendation. 
When in need of more seed, it will be without hesitation Hoffman’s Seed.” 
Albert Baran, Clyde, N. Y. 
“Your Economical Mixture was very good. 
Shadeland Climax Oats, 80 bushels per 
acre.” 
Boyd H. Hagenbuch, 
Bloomsburg, Pa. 
Nearly 41 years of continuous service. This 
is the fine record of Amos B. Heiss! He was 
first employed on Mr. A. H. Hoffman's farm. 
Later on he helped Mr. Hoffman handle the 
very first orders that were received for Hoff¬ 
man Seeds. He is still as active as ever 
despite his many duties. Such long unbroken 
service surely deserves hearty congratulations.
