GREETING: 
Another Glad season has rolled by and the harvesting is done. 
Like all other 
lines of business we have been hard hit with the shortage of help. We were forced 
first to cut our acreage and use every possible means of time-saving devices. The 
raising of vegetable crops still further complicated our normal business,—but then, 
we're only too glad to do our part.

group of women folks who have had 
plenty of experience and coaching in the 
sorting out of any possible diseased bulbs. 
The cleaning table is the only place to 
eliminate such disease in bulbs. Along
