~ Greater Star Bargains for 1947" 
On October 24, 1946, the O.P.A. lifted the ceilings on farm 
seeds under control. Since that time somé seeds have ad- 
vanced, while others have held steady. Some seedsmen are 
taking advantage of this situation by marking up prices that 
are abnormally high. We bought a good many carloads be- 
fore the prices advanced. We are not going to follow these 
high retail prices. We are thinking of your business not only 
for this year, but for years to come. We have found that 
short profits make long friends. We urge you to get in 
your order early for best selections and lowest prices. 
Why Our Prices Are Low 
There are many reasons why we quote lower prices than 
many other dealers. Common horse sense tells you our direct 
buying from the producing districts and selling direct to you 
will Save you money. We cut out some of the middlemen’s 
- profits... We have no salaried salesmen with big expense ac- =~

ferént portions ofthe lots: Thése are 
mixed thoroughly so as to make the 
composite sample as representative 
as possible ef the entire lot of seed. A portion of this sample is® 
taken to make the purity and germination test. This is the gen-= 
eral method of testing seed and is followed by us. In most cases the 
analysis is our own, or from a commercial or state laboratory, but 
occasionally we use the analysis of the party selling us the seed if a 
reliable shipper. It is our aim to attach such test tags to all ship- 
ments made. Sometimes a tag will be missed or lost from the ship- 
ment, but in such case a test tag may be had upon request.

Part of our service is 
to take good country 
seed, reclean it, grade

buy seed which has been 
previously cleaned and 
in such instances, we do 
not reclean it. Remov-

stock and chaff makes 
smoother, more uniform 
and more valuable 
stock. The percentage 
of clean out is often as-

able to buy country 
seed for a few cents less 
per acre, but it is more
