Correspondence 
We want a man, preferably married, to work for us or 
with us in growing tree stock. We have grown grafted 
vines successfully for ten years, and want to branch out 
by degrees. We want a man with at least five years’ experi¬ 
ence, of industrious habits, with good references. After one 
year on wages there would be an opportunity for him to 
invest from $1,000 up, in the business, if he feels so inclined. 
We have the land, with pumping plant, implements, etc. and 
have a good ‘reputation for square, fair dealing. Good 
accommodations, healthy climate. Prospects good for the 
right man. Address with particulars as to experience, and 
present earning capacity.

THE LETTER THAT WAS NOT ANSWERED 
The amount of money that is lost each year to different firms 
by not answering inquiries and correspondence of their prospective 
patrons promptly is enormous. The order generally goes to the 
firm that answers promptly. The big, well organized firm loses 
less in proportion than the smaller firms whose proprietor often is 
office force and packing force, all in one. When I used to do less 
business, I would let the mail accumulate for a week and sometimes 
a month and then take a rainy day to clean it all up. If I did not 
lose the sale of a lot of goods by this careless way of doing business, 
I was extremely lucky. 
A few weeks ago, I saw that we were running low on asparagus 
roots. So several letters were sent out to different firms who made 
a specialty of handling asparagus. The replies were received right 
along with the exception of one from a well known firm who natur¬ 
ally would have received the order on account of favorable price and 
nearness to us. The reply , nearly two weeks after our letter was 
received, with the information that our letter was unfortunately 
overlooked. We had purchased ten thousand roots, had them 
come by freight, and shipped out nearly all of them before this 
valuable information was received.
