Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn Farm : Van Wert, Ohio 
An Accommodating 
Customer in the South 
I have a customer at Avery Island, Louisiana, who 
has been enthusiastic in his letters about AUNT MARY’S 
Sweet Corn ever since I placed it upon the market. 
In January he asked me to give him the price on 
a bushel (50 pounds) of AUNT MARY’S Sweet Corn 
Seed. In my reply quoting a price of 65c per pound, I 
told him of the scarcity of the seed this season and that 
I would rather sell him 25 than 50 pounds of it. He 
ordered this smaller amount and told me that he was 
sorry that it was not convenient for me to furnish the 
full 50 pounds. 
As soon as this price list is in the hands of my 
customers you will know of the scarcity of the seed this 
year and it is quite probable that you will immediately 
place your order for the planting season. 
With this in mind I have written this accommo¬ 
dating gentleman in the south that within ten days after 
the distribution of this price list, if my stock of seed has 
not been exhausted, I will feel free to offer to fill his 
order for the other 25 pounds of seed. 
I realize however that when he receives my notice, 
it may be too late for Louisiana corn planting.
