Dear Friends: 
In receiving this Advance Price List for season 1942-1943 you may 
think we are a little early, especially under present conditions. 
However, we think that present conditions warrant early consideration 
of your needs for the coming year. 
The nursery business should be good and if we all will work with the 
changing times and prepare for the future, we can go a long way 
towards preserving our organization and help win the war at the same 
time. 
We wish to thank our many customers for their valued orders during 
the past year. It has been a pleasure to serve you and we hope 
your dealings with us have been satisfactory so that you can again 
favor us with your business. 
Our Mr. Frank Donovan is covering the Eastern territory this year 
and if he has not called on you, will do so soon, if at all possible. 
Tire and gasoline shortage may curtail his trip somewhat, however. 
When he does call we hope you can spare him a little time so he can 
talk with you about what we have to offer for next season. If he 
cannot get to see you, take a little time to look over the list and 
send us your regular order, a trial order or at least a tentative one. 
We had rather a late spring in Oregon but things are growing well 
now and we know we will have a fine lot of stock to supply our many 
good friends. Prices are changed very little from last year's, although 
we will make every effort to keep up the quality of our material. 
I am going to miss the personal contact and visits of the past years 
but so many things need attention here that it is necessary to stay 
home to help with the work. I hope to attend the Kansas City 
Convention in July and will look forward to seeing you there. 
With Best Wishes for a good summer and hoping to hear from you, 
Sincerely yours, 
A. McGILL & SON
