The Strawberry Man of Pulaski, N. Y. 
The above illustration was made by the Central City Engraving Com- 
pany of Syracuse, N. Y. The idea originated with our L. J. Farmer, who told 
Mr. Timmerman about it and Mr. Timmerman had one of their artists work 
out the design. We never knew the name of the party who actually did the 
work, but Mr, Timmerman told us that it took quite a while to work it out 
and it did not pay them, as they did not charge us near what it cost to make. 
It is sometimes amusing how new ideas strike different people. We use 
this design on our shipping tags and we have seen people, including many 
traveling salesmen, stand around the trucks loaded with our shipments and 
smile and make remarks about “The Strawberry Man”. One old lady custom- 
er wrote us that she would not trade any more with a man who looked so 
awful. .We have not been using this on our tags for the past few years, but 
we will try and fill all orders from this list using these tags. 
AVAIL YOURSELVES OF OUR SERVICE 
While we would like to handle the entire Small Fruit orders of any 
nurseryman or seedsman, and send them direct to their customers, we will be 
glad to take your tags and make shipments of anything that you do not 
specialize in, whether you area steady customer of ours or not. 
We pride ourselves that we have the best system of shipping strawberry 
and other small fruits that has ever been devised. We have had great ex- 
perience. When the fall bearing strawberry came on the market, we filled 
the entire output of the numerous companies at Newark, N. Y. Later we 
handled the entire strawberry business of one of the largest seedsmen in 
the United States. We continue to fill orders for several firms, who do not 
specialize in berry plants, but who receive occasional orders. Every ship- ws 
ment is protected with cardboard, so the contents are never crushed in 
transit. We have received hundreds of letters claiming our packing is “The 
best in the World”. We can make shipments any month of the year. Write 
us about this. a
