- frardy Northern Climate ON ORDERS RECEIVED BEFORE 
FEBRUARY 1, 1946 







Our northern climate in the Greater Michigan Fruit Belt is ideal 
for growing thrifty, hardy nursery stock. Our stock-growing 
locations are near the lake which puts a damper on the winters. 

BATTING AVERAGE 1000 
Wisconsin, Feb. 12, 1945. 
Mr. Grover C. Kautz reports: Last year 
I placed my first order with you. I must 
say to you, your batting average is 1000 
with me. Not only are your goods better 
than represented but all took after planting 
and made considerable progress. I am 
following up this year by again placing 
my order with Westhausers. 











We Spare No Expense or Effort to Maintain the 
High Fertility of Our Nursery Fields 
No Effort Too Great for Additional Fertility 
We make a practice of feeding livestock. The photo above speaks for itself. 
We do not sell steers in our catalog, neither are we in the cattle business for profit, 
but no effort is too great to keep our producing soils in the highest state of ter- 
tility, which means THRIFTY, HEAVIER ROOTED NURSERY STOCK. 
WESTHAUSER’S BROAD GUARANTEE. We Guarantee that our nursery 
stock is first class in every respect, free from disease, freshly dug, true to name, 
and to leave our packing house in good growing condition. We will, at our 
option, either replace free of charge or refund your money on any shipment 
which arrives in bad condition, providing claim is made within five days after 
arrival of shipment, with a signed statement from your Express Agent or Post- 
master, showing the extent of damage. Our-stock is carefully handled and. full 
of vitality, and under ordinary conditions should grow for you. Report any 
error on our part immedifately upon receipt of shipment.
