O Every man worthy of the 
name is ambitious for himself 
and for those dependent on 
him. He desires a good educa¬ 
tion for his children; the rea¬ 
sonable luxuries and comforts 
of life for his ivife. For him¬ 
self he hopes for an independ¬ 
ent income that will permit 
him to retire from daily toil 
to the enjoyment of a serene old 
age, free from worry or debt.

These we are all earnestly striving for; some seek to achieve 
them through hard work in their vocations; some through the investment of time and money in a busi¬ 
ness; others through the purchase of stocks and bonds; and still others seek to provide for the welfare of 
their family through life insurance. 
All of these methods are good, but they have one drawback — they involve dependence on the 
efforts and activities of other people. When you form a partnership with Nature you are relieved of all 
dependence on any other individual. Nature is a most industrious, intelligent, and trustworthy partner 
. . . a partner that will not defraud nor desert you ... a partner willing to let you bank all the profits. 
Mr. R. C. Berckmans, a national authority on hor¬ 
ticulture, has said: "Among all the money-making pos¬ 
sibilities in the South, pecan growing ranks first. There 
is no other enterprise you can follow with such great 
profit and safety.” 
Mr. Berckmans said further: "You can leave no bet¬ 
ter inheritance to your family than a pecan grove; who¬ 
ever plants pecans, plants not for himself alone, but for 
his children, and his children’s children for generations 
to come.” 
Farsighted people are forming a partnership with 
Nature in the growing of pecan orchards because inves¬ 
tigation proves that the bearing pecan orchard is profit¬ 
able, not for just a few years, but permanently. 
A surprisingly small investment in fruit trees will 
give you a fruit orchard that will supply your table 
with delicious, health-giving food in season, and pro¬ 
vide sufficient for canning for use in the winter months, 
when food prices are the highest. 
The city dweller with a fifty-foot lot has room for 
enough trees to supply his table with fresh, appetizing 
fruit. Many business men have found a fruit orchard 
to be a delightful as well as profitable hobby, offering 
them needed relaxation of mind and exercise in the open 
air in its development. 
A larger orchard will supply a surplus above your 
own requirements, which may be readily sold for cash, 
thus providing a quick, easy, money crop. 
A real opportunity exists for those who will form a part¬ 
nership with Nature in growing a pecan or fruit orchard.
