TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
Have you had occasion to purchase. from us over the past year? 
If you have, you know that our desire to serve you honestly has 
NOT been changed! Because of the many items in short supply, it 
‘would have been possible for us to substitute merchandise of a 
questionable grade, but here's the "hitch": if we had done-that we 
would have lost, for all time, the confidence we so earnestly 
seek. No, even in these critical times, with production still 
lagging, we are going to stand firm on our policy of QUALITY 
first, last, and always. 
And, to those of you who are avout to make your first 
purchase from us: let me, as President, not only welcome you 
personally but at the same time essure you that it will be our 
duty to serve your needs capably and honestly. 
Our Store is a combination of many talents and many skills. 
Our Seed Department, for instance, is staffed with experts -- men 
who have devoted their lives to Seeds. The same holds true with 
our Poultry Department, our Nursery Depertment, end in every 
Depertment in our Store. These men stand ready to give you the 
benefit of their wide experience. Get to know them personally. 
Bring to them.your questions and your problems. Their knowledge 
can play a great part in your success. 
Finally, let me say a word about this Catalog: not all of the 
goods. shown are in stock for immediate delivery but ere expected 
reasonably soon. Orders received for goods not in stock will be 
shipped as soon as available. Again, we expect to have other 
items that are not listed. So if the article you may want is not 
shown, please come to the Store or check with us. We may have it, 
or be able to give you some idea of when it will be available. 
We want to thank all of our friends and customers for their 
confidence in us these many years and for 1947 we pledge all of 
you our very best efforts. 
Sincerely yours, 
’ 
President 
January 20, 1947.
