this bank for some time and has been engaged in the growing and 
selling of Nursery stock and Seeds for a great many years in

Sec. and Treas. 
We have found them prompt and reliable in every way and 
their dealings with us have been most satisfactory. 
It is a pleasure to recommend Allen's Nurseries and Seed 
House to anyone in need of the goods they offer for sale, We 
also consider them an excellent credit risk for such as they 
are likely to ask. 
Their goods will always be found as represented and I am 
sure any business dealings with men of such experience and 
character as the Allens will be both satisfactory and pleasant. 
Yours very truly, 
Oe 
Secretary & Treasurer 

ORDER EARLY 
You will help conserve labor and transportation if you will

than they used to be. Your co-operation will be appreciated.

of growing Nursery Stock has been increased 
buy the necessities of life on the open market, 
the same as you. Therefore, the increase in 
wages is necessary. 
The Government has asked for increased pro- 
duction of farm products. The corresponding 
higher prices of produce and fruit justify the 
increase cost of seeds and Nursery Stock. You 
can still make a big profit by planting Allen’s
