PERSONAL GREETINGS: 
We send warm personal greetino-s to all onr friends. It would be more fitting if 
our greeting could be a personal one, but since this is impossible we use onr 1939 
Seed and Supply Annual (onr silent representative) as a medium to carry onr 
message of warm appreciation for your past valued patronage. May we thank yon 
for your past kindness and solicit your continued patronage? 
Our organization is pledged to serve yon satisfactorily and courteously. Orders 
placed with ns must be filled to your liking or yon are ])rivileged to return the 
goods and receive your money back. 
We would like to make onr catalog a more personal one. To that end we would 
like expressions from onr customers as to the success they enjoy from MONARCH 
seeds. Write ns of your success and we will find room in onr next year’s catalog 
for 3’onr letter. Of course we must have your permission to use your letter over 
your signature. We will be glad to re-j^rint your comments. So . . . let ns hear 
from yon during 1939. 
Twenty-eight years in the seed business as the ^Monarch Seed & Feed Conii)aiiy 
has taught ns many things, chief of Avhich is that QUALITY SEEDS ARE CHEAP¬ 
EST IN THE LONG RUN. For that reason we still insist that yon can buy cheai)er, 
but jmu cannot buy better seed . . . no matter what yon i)Hy. 
\T'ry sincerely, 
.MONARCH SEED & FEED CO. 
Miksche Brothers. 
CUSTOMERS PLEASE TAKE NOTICE 
Our Terms are Strictly Cash with Order. We 
prefer not to send seeds C. O. D. unless order is 
accompanied by at least one-third of the amount 
of order. 
How to Remit. Send postal money order, ex¬ 
press money order, or check. Stamps will do if 
.your order is for a small amount. 
Errors. We exercise every care in handling 
your orders, but should an error occur, kindly 
write us at once, and we will adjust it promptly. 
.All prices in tliis catalog are subject to change 
without notice. 
Reports—Good or Bad. Will you help us to 
attain greater success by writing and telling us 
how our Seeds and Supplies reach you, how they 
grow and how' you like them? We will certainly 
appreciate it. Your criticisms, if you have any. 
as well as your praises, are desired. 
Non-Warranty. Most of the failures with seeds 
are due to causes entirely beyond our control, 
such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, 
too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 
renders it impossible for us to guarantee suc¬ 
cess. We therefore give no warranty as to de¬ 
scription, quality or productiveness of any of 
the seeds we send out, and will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser 
does not accept the goods under these conditions, 
they are to be at once returned. 
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE REPLACE 
.\IENT OF GOODS SENT BY MAIL. An addi 
tional remittance of 5 cents will insure any mail 
package.
