As this catalog goes to press, we can report that 
_ the supply situation on gardening materials, tools, 
and accessories is very substantially improved- 
but not yet entirely normal. 
Many of the severe wartime shortages are being 
relieved, but at this date there are still many 
uncertainties. 
To those who need new garden equipment (and 
who doesn’t nowadays?) we earnestly suggest 
these two ideas: 
I—Do your buying early in the season, so 
that you may make your selections before 
supplies are depleted. 
2—Drop in at our store whenever you have 
the opportunity, so as to keep in touch 
with later developments. We expect new items 
will be coming in all through the season. 
Whatever it is, ASK US! 
‘There never was a store any- 
where that stocked ail the items 
that gardeners might ask for! 
Not even in normal times! But 
we think this store of ours comes 
pretty close to the mark—as 
close as the supply situation 
will permit. 
So we’re inviting you, once 
more, to count on us as your 
supply source. This season we’re 
32 
better able to take care of you 
than we’ve been for quite some 
time. So come in often! We’re 
sure your garden will be the 
better for it. 
More than just a store 
There’s one thing you can always 
count on here! 'This isn’t just a 
store, it’s a gardening center, a 
source of information and in- 
spiration, a friendly neighbor 
who is always ready to help.
