THE ARAPAHOE SIGN 
Several years ago we designed the Arapahoe Indian 
sign to assist people in locating our little nursery along 
the Colorado Springs road. We have grown some since 
then and now have about six acres of fine nursery stock. 
We have recently had to vacate about four acres of land 
to accommodate the new routing of Highway 85. Things 
have been pretty much torn up for several months, and 
probably will be for months to come. We hope to have 
the nursery grounds arranged better than ever when it is 
all over, with some new buildings and better facilities to 
serve you. 
In the mean time we will keep the mounted Arapahoe 
Indian where you can see it, to know where to turn in. 
In the years that we have used the Arapahoe Indian 
sign, it has come to mean more than simply a guide post. 
It has come to stand for reliable, dependable trees and 
shrubs; and for accurate information on how to plant and 
care for them. 
It gives us a great deal of satisfaction to realize the 
number of friends which we have gained. There seems 
little chance of our ever making any money in this business, 
so the satisfaction of doing a good job, and our friends’ 
appreciation of it, will have to be our chief reward. 
You cannot compare simply prices of nursery material. 
We could sell stock at half our quoted prices, but our cus¬ 
tomers would not be getting as good value. Nursery stock 
can be grown and sold cheaply, or it can be grown and de¬ 
livered right. We will always aim to have the Arapahoe 
sign stand for the best in trees and shrubs; trees that have 
had plenty of room for the development of good roots and 
tops, and trees that have been carefully dug and planted. 
Come out the South Santa Fe highway to one mile 
north of Littleton some day and stop at the sign of the 
Arapahce Indian. We will be glad to show you around.
