is KELLY SEED & HARDWARE CO. 
4 § 
OUR PEORIA STORE located at 116-118 
South Washington St., 15 blocks from 
court house square, Glad to have you 
make this your headquarters when in our 
city. 
This shows our 
third seed house at 
San Jose. It was our 
first cleaning, dry- 
ing and processing 
plants. Now is used 
aS a warehouse for 
all kinds of field and 
garden seeds. 

Nineteen years ago we bought the B. F. 
Adams Co., an old reliable seed firm who 
had been in business many years. Here we 
have five floors, including a dry basement 
with truck entrance in rear right into the 
basement. In addition for several years, we 
rented a large five story building with switch 
direct into the building (where we could un- 
load three cars of seed, machinery or hard- 
ware at at time) holding 85 carloads of seed. 
Two years ago this building was sold and 
we then had to go back to the Federal Ware 
house where we now store thousands of bags 
of small seeds, such as clover, alfalfa, timo- 
thy, alsike, rape, garden seeds, and other 
items. 
We are very fortunate to be well establish- 
ed in the second largest city in the state of 
Illinois where most of the wholesale field 
seed business orders are handled, and all 
the wholesale garden seed orders. 
Many of the carlot and large orders are 
Shipped from San Jose, which is a small town 
25 miles due south of Peoria. It costs a lot 
of money to do business in a large city, but 
at San Jose, we can do the business at much 
lower costs. For example, if we have a hun- 
dred orders a day to ship from Peoria, this 
would mean trucking to three or four depots, 
one of which is almost amile from our place 
of business. At San Jose, cars are set in on 
our own switch, orders for all over the 
United States are loaded direct from the 
building or only a haul of a block, into the 
same Cars. 

ALL CORN TREATED WITH SEMESAN JR. 
It is now anestablished fact that corn treatment will often increase the yield of corn from 
2 to 5 bushels per acre. The increase will often be more than the cost of the seed, 
Unless otherwise ordered our cornis now all treated with Semesan Jr. This is a poison- 
ous Substance and we would advise you to keep it away from all stock with the exception of 
hogs. 
EIGHT POUNDS OF HYBRID CORN FOR $1.00 
We turnish as many different hybrids as you want (to try them out) to be shipped with 
other seeds at $1.00 for 8 pounds of any hybrid.
