To The Trade: 
As the reorganization of the Jewell Nursery Company of Lake City has been completed, we are 
very happy to be able to give you the following information as to the exact status of this company. 
The Jewell Nursery Company went into receivership about a year ago. A Special and General 
Receiver was appointed, who conducted the business for about a year. 
On January 1, 1940, a new company, who had previously incorporated under the name of Jewell 
Nurseries, Incorporated, purchased the assets from the Special and General Receiver. The new firm took 
over about ninety-eight per cent of the growing nursery stock, all the records, all accounts receivable, in 
fact, all personal property of any description and is, at the present time, operating a nursery on the same 
premises, the same land with the same acreage. They are employing the same propagation help and to a 
great extent, the same office help. It is the intention of the new concern to operate a wholesale nursery 
business, growing a general line of nursery stock, finished and lining-out, the same as the Jewell Nursery 
Company did before. 
The members of the new firm are the following: 
Miss Ann Lindmeier, Lake City 
Mr. Kenneth R. Smith, Lake City 
Mr. George A. Schmidt, Lake City 
Mr. Bj. Loss, Lake City 
The response which the new company has received from the trade, and the understanding which 
they have met has been very gratifying. It shall be our aim to do our utmost in every way to live up to 
the wonderful reputation which the Jewell Nursery Company has had over a period of seventy years of 
business since 1868. The tradition of the concern is a splendid one, and it is something to live up to, and 
we are sincerely hoping that we shall be able to do so That will be our aim. 
Our wholesale men, Mr. Harold Heins,, and Mr. Vemie Johnson, will endeavor to call on every one of 
our customers. If there is any other information relative to the company which you desire, these men have 
been instructed to tell the whole story. 
We wish to thank you for the many courtesies shown us. 
Yours very truly, 
THE JEWELL NURSERIES, INC.
