~ Well, here it is. Send some more pic- 
tures, always glad to get them. 

Likes Fields Best 
My good customers Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
Probasco, Rt. 6, Jacksonville, Illinois, 
sent this picture of some of their vegeta- 
bles grown from our seed. They write,- 
“We think there is no other like them.” 

Two Little Girls from 
Tennessee 
Here is a picture from way down in 
Tennessee. They are little grand-daugh- 
ters of Mrs. Cora Kesterson, Midway, 
Tennessee. She says, “They are real 
farm girls.” 
Can’t Read All the Mail 
I didn’t think I’d live to see the day 
when I couldn’t read all the mail that 
came into the seedhouse. Always have 
and always wanted to. But this year, it’s 
practically impossible.* Just not enough 
hours in the day, even when Mrs. ‘Field 
helps me. 
Had a letter from an old friend and 
customer in Ilinois the other day. It 
went like this: ‘‘Dear Henry: What’s the 
matter with you? Have you gone high 
hat or something. I got a letter from 
you, and it sure must have been written 
by somebody else. Didn’t sound like you 
atrall.”’ 
_ Well, he went on and on about it and 
really gave me what for about hiring 
fancy secretaries and the like. Can’t 
blame him either. I always want to deal 
with the head man, no matter what I’m 
buying or selling. That’s one thing I’ve 
always taken pride here at Shenandoah— 
taking a personal interest in mail and 
calls and filling orders. 
But sometimes these days I just don’t 
have the time. So please forgive me, if 
once in a while you don’t get the real 
friendly Henry Field letter you’re en- 
titled to. 


Crazy Popping 
“Dear Henry: Enclosed please find one dol- 
lar. Kindly send me another sack of that 
erazy popping pop corn. I never saw corn 
before that did not know when to stop pop- 
ping.”—H. A, Wendling, 1441 G Street, Apt. 
C3, Lincoln 8, Nebraska. 
Tribute to Our Servicemen 
“Dear Mr. Field: Your gift of trees is a 
beautiful tribute to our servicemen and I 
want to thank you for the American Elm you 
sent me as a memorial to my grandson, Vir- 
gil Blaser NS M3/e. When he comes home 
and sees it, I know he will be pleased too.”—
