Greater Star Bargains for 1942 
: Yes sir, prices look high in comparison with last year, but 
in the year of 1938 they were much higher on Clovers and 
Alfalfa than this year. When seed markets are high that is 
where we shine. With unfavorable weather conditions in late 
Summer and fall, it was apparent many seed crops would be 
damaged. We jumped in the market and started buying 
early. We saved money by acting quickly and you are going 
to share in these purchases that were bought under the 
-market. Some of our prices are as low as your local dealer 
is paying to wholesale firms. 
Why Our Prices Are Low 
There are many reasons why we quote lower prices than 
many other dealers. Common horse sense tells you our 
direct buying from the producing districts and selling di- 
rect to you will save you money. No middleman’s profit. | 
We have no salaried salesmen with big expense accounts. 
Don’t have a lot of bad book accounts. We handle millions 
of pounds of seeds. Our buying power enables us to buy low 
and sell low. Low prices increase our sales. A 10% profit

on $30.00 worth of orders looks better to us than 20% on 
$10.00 worth of orders.

The test tags attached to ship- 
ments of seed show the results of 
the purity and germination tests of 
a composite sample of the lot of 
seed from which shipment is taken. 
This sample is obtained by taking 
small quantities of seed from dif- 
ferent portions of the lot. These are 
mixed thoroughly so as to make the 
composite sample as representative 

seed, reclean it, grade 
it. However, we often 
buy seed which has been 
previously cleaned and 
in such instances, we do 
not reclean it. Remov- 
ing weed seeds, light 
stock and chaff makes 
smoother, more uniform 
and more valuable 
stock. The percentage 
of clean out is often as- 
as possible of the entire lot of seed. A portion of this sample is
