A WORD TO OLD CUSTOMERS 
This message is directed to all of you who in the past intrusted 
your business to the old Whitten-Ackerman partnership before 
its final dissolution. 
If you were not fully satisfied with the attention given your 
orders, and with the quality of the stock furnished; or if any of 
your purchases failed to thrive and grow as satisfactorily after 
planting as you had a right to expect, I will consider it a favor 
if you will write me personally, explaining in detail the cause 
of your dissatisfaction. 
I ask this favor because I am wholeheartedly interested in 
your success and satisfaction, and because I want to be given 
an opportunity to supply you with some of the high grade trees, 
plants and shrubs handled by our organization—real quality 
stock that insures growing success—the kind that eliminates 
complaints, and that makes refills and replacements unnecessary. 
No agreement covering the fulfillment of the guarantees and 
promises made by the old firm of Whitten-Ackerman has ever 
been entered into between my former partner and myself, any 
statements to the contrary notwithstanding. 
However, you will find me ready and willing to make a fair 
and liberal adjustment of any complaints you have to report. 
That's why I am asking you to write me. I want you to be 
satisfied.
