Greetings: 
Catalog time is here again, ami what a difference from normal times: Like all good 
Americans, right now the seedman's first duty is to help the country in its fight to main- 
tain our freedom and democrat ic way of life. This, we of the Northern Seed Co., pledge 
whole heartedly to do. 
In keeping this pledge we deem these things important: 
(1) To maintain quality, and sel] merchandise on its merit, without misrepresen 
tation. 
(2) To keep prices as low as consistent with market conditions. 
(3) To keep, insofar as possible, adequate stocks of seed and other merchandise 
needed by the territory which we serve. 
Some items of both garden and field seeds are definitely short, on account of low 
production and export to our allies under the Lend-Lease Act. Prices on such items are 
mch higher than normal, At such times, some are inclined to "gouge" on prices, and sub- 
stitute lower quality. You can depend on us to maintain high standards for quality, and 
to sell without advancing prices more than is justified by the conditions governing each 
individual item, 
It is going to be hard to get enough of som kinas of seed and other items we handle 
to adequately serve our customers. In this, we will just have to do the best we can. 
We suggest that you order early. With increased production so important at this time, 
we believe that our sixteen years experience in the seed business here in Sheridan will 
prove especially valuable to all who plant crops of any kind.
