To All Our Friends and Customers: 
May we take this opportunity to inform all of our customers 
of the past and potential customers of the future that we 
have just recently completed construction and moved into 
our new offices and storage located on the site of our main 
nursery, two miles southeast of McMinnville on Highway 56. 
This move was made toward the sole end of furnishing all 
our customers, old, new, large and small, with prompt and 
efficient service of first-class nursery stock which we believe 
will be second to none. Heretofore we have been laboring 
under rather expensive and somewhat inefficient circum- 
stances in that our offices and storage were located some 
distance from our nurseries. 
In the construction of our new storage we have incorpor- 
ated ideas accumulated through the 62 years our nursery 
_ has existed in order that any stock you might purchase from 
us in the future will be sure to reach you in excellent condition. 
The main storage is completely frostproof, being construc- 
ted partially underground, with 12-inch super-rock blocks 
making the outside wall. This block is made of a processed 
slag from the steel mills and is certified by Underwriters 
Laboratory to be many times more resistant to heat and 
cold transmission than is a concrete block, brick or concrete 
wall (and, believe it or not, fellow nurserymen, we do experts 
ence sub-zero weather down here annually). 
The roof consists of a complete covering of 4-ft. x 8-ft. x 
15-in. sheets of compressed asbestos boards. These boards 
are compressed to the desired thickness under terrific pressure 
and have a very high insulation quality. This surface was then 
covered with a 7-ply built-up roof. 
No windows were included in the main storage rooms, 
thus eliminating the possibility of damage by direct light 
rays on dormant material. 
We have told you of the material and some of the ideas 
employed in the construction of this new storage for a specific 
reason—that being that we want all to know the thought ever- 
most in our mind is to better our entire operation wherever 
and whenever possible so that we might serve you—our 
customer—better. 
Please know that you are always welcome at our nursery 
and that we will appreciate the privilege of quoting on all 
your wants,
