TRADE LETTER 
TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS: 
Last season one of our friends who was visiting us for the 
first time told us cold turkey we were making a big mistake not 
to tell the trade more about ourselves. He said, quote, 
“Why you have a lay-out here second to none, with equip¬ 
ment, and production facilities undreamed of. You have rich 
lands, and enjoy excellent growing seasons. 1 advise you to tell 
the trade more about yourselves, ask them all to come, and see 
for themselves the real growing establishment you have suc¬ 
ceeded in developing.” 
Friends we’re doing that very thing. In our modest way, and 
without a large expenditure of money, we have put together for 
your consideration a, larger catalogue which is better in so far 
as we are able to make it than the small booklet it has been 
our usual custom to send out. The pictures herein are genuine 
photographs of our own stock, land, and buildings. Next year, 
if we can do it, our catalogue will be bigger, and better than this 
one. We firmly believe our friend to be right in his suimise. 
If we don’t tell you folks about ouselves how can we expect you 
to know and like us. 
For the benefit of those who are not familiar with our location 
we have published on the back cover of this catalogue a map 
showing our situation relative to well known points in other 
States. 
Please come to see us, and should you wish to buy we will 
offer you our best at prices you can affoi'd to pay; but whether 
you buy or not we’ll be glad to show you all we have and do 
everything to make your visit worth while. 
Thanking you for your consideration, and with every good 
wish, we remain, 
Yours very truly,
