{Fo Our Customers and <friends: 
Today, more than ever before, every business is 
operating under very trying and difficult circum- 
stances-— labor shortage, lack and scarcity of ma- 
terials, ete. 
Never, in all of our 30 years of operation, have 
we been confronted with such varied and complex 
problems. But, are we grumbling? Indeed not! 
All that we ask is that you will bear with us when 
our services are not up to par with that of the 
prewar years. But remember, only our services, 
not our products, have been impaired. You will 
still find the high quality stock that we have always 
grown. 
In face of these uncontrollable difficulties, may 
we urge you to place your orders early. We will 
only be able to fill orders in the rotation in which 
they are received. 
Thank you for your past patronage and consid- 
eration and trusting to be so favored in the future, 
we remain, 
Yours truly, 
OVERLOOK NURSERIES
