6 0th Anniversary + 
WE AT Tapperson’s feel that 1946 should be a year of double celebration. 
First: In the Victory over our enemies we rejoice and give thanks to those men 
and women in our armed forces, living and dead, who achieved it. Also, we congratulate 
those on the food-production line, both commercial growers and home gardeners, who, 
though lacking in supplies, tools, and equipment, produced food in the greatest quantities 
in history for the home front and our armed forces and allies. 
SECOND: On our tenth anniversary we are proud of the growth of our business and 
hope that we have contributed to the success of our customer growers. We extend our 
thanks to you for your patronage.
