__L.H. ARCHIAS, Sr. 
1869 ‘1944 
Leon Henry Archias, our beloved 
President, died on August 28, 1944. 
Born in Helena, Arkansas, Mr. Archias 
entered the Seed and Nursery Business 
early in life, and opened his first Seed 
Store with his brother at the age of 15 
years. Like his father and grandfather 
before him, Mr. Archias loved flowers 
and growing things and working with 
the products of the soil. One of his 
greatest devotions was to his profession: 
the improvement of varieties, the dis- 
semination of good seeds and plants, so 
that his customers would succeed with 
their plantings. 
We pledge our efforts to “carry on” 
his good example of honest dealings, 
good seeds and untiring, courteous 
service. 

Siaty-One Years 
OF HONEST SERVICE and DEPENDABLE SEEDS 
TO THE GARDENERS OF MISSOURI 
Dear Friends: 
For sixty-one years we have served the Farmers and Planters of Missouri and our 
surrounding territories; this fact should speak well of our dependability. When we 
tell you that you can send your order to 
ARCHIAS with complete confidence, we 
mean just that! Your order will be filled 
promptly and we guarantee everything to 
reach you in a satisfying condition. If you 
are not entirely pleased when the merchan- 
dise arrives, it may be returned within five 
days for complete refund of your money or 
have your order refilled without charge. You 
are to be the judge and you are to be pleased 
or it costs you nothing. 
We hope you are making plans for a big 
garden again this year. At this writing the 
war is not yet won. Lots and lots of food 
will be needed for a well fed army, for ci- 
vilian consumption and for relief in Europe. 
Be assured of plenty for your family, no 
matter what happens and help relieve the de- 
mand in commercial food channels. 
About Nursery Stock, Fruit Trees and 
Berry Plants, we believe now is the time to 
plant. Now—when you can afford to im- 
prove your place, plant trees that will bear 
fruit later when the economy of the country 
may not be so good as now. It pays to look 
ahead—invest in the future and lay away for 
a rainy day. 
We will be looking for your orders. We 
hope you will send them early—and often— 
and be assured we'll do our best to please 
you. We are, 
Sincerely yours, 
ARCHIAS’ SEED STORE
