Heres Why 
your seed order leaves 
us within 24 hours 
Promptness in getting all seed orders back into the 
mails the day we receive them has long been an im- 
portant part of Ball’s service. To do this calls for a 
carefully worked out routine, plus efficient and under- 
standing workers. Pictured here are a few of the rea- 
sons this service is possible. 
Reading clockwise—the upper left photo shows 
the “boss” himself, who carefully goes over all orders 
as rapidly as they are received. Next is pictured plant 
and bulb manager Charley Newbold (standing) with 
his helpers; all plant and bulb orders are handled 
separately by this department. Immediately beneath 
is a view of the modern bookkeeping and billing de- 
partment; here also all mail is opened and orders 
properly entered. 
Following is a corner of the packeting division 
where careful hand work is supplemented by auto- 
matic sealing machinery. The lower right photo 
shows one of twenty sections where packeted seed is 
arranged alphabetically for fast assembling of all 
orders. The final step, pictured below, is a careful re- 
check of every packet in your order before it is 
wrapped and hurried to the post office. 
Added up, it all amounts to the kind of service 
growers have a right to expect and which all of us 
here at Ball's are glad to extend.
