Record-Breaking Season Taxed Our Facilities 
With the advent of the summer season everyone of our organization from the packers 
to the manager experiences a feeling of relief. 
For a time it looked as though it would be impossible for us to ever catch up with 
our orders, but by putting in an average of 72 hours weekly and with the aid of a liberal 
sprinkling of high school boys and girls we came through so that by the end of April 
our orders were being filled within a day or two after booking. 
Explanations for the overwhelming season are unnecessary, Victory Gardening is the

main reason, and we frankly admit that our calculations never estimated the tremendous 
volume that we (sic.) enjoyed (?). We feel that we owe a great many of our loyal 
clients an apology for the departure this past season from our usual prompt service, and 
we wish to thank those who patiently put up with our trials, by not insisting upon imme- 
diate deliveries or demanding that we supply items, procurement of which was impossible. 
Our main concern now, prompting these closing words is: Stick to your Victory Garden 
to the end; make it produce its maximum; do not become discouraged by the heat, weeds 
or insects, remembering always that the seeds that you purchased, the food that you are 
producing, and the ground that you occupy are investments in our ultimate Victory.
