“To Our Customers 
r | \HOSE of you who have been dealing with Allen’s Nurseries and Seed 
House for many of our fifty-six years need no assurance of our reli- 
ability. Through the years we have set up and maintained a very high 
standard both as to the quality of the seeds and nursery stock we sell and 
the service that we offer. We value very highly the friends and customers 
whom we have served in the past, and are eager to make the acquaintance 
of the many home owners who are now able and anxious to improve their 
rounds. 
5 In these pages you will find the best of the old varieties of fruits, shrubs, 
flowers and vegetables, as well as the new ones coming on the market. All 
are grown on our own farms or under our direct supervision. You take no 
chance when you order from Allen’s. : 
The high cost of living is incentive enough for vegetable gardening on 
either a small or large scale. If you grow for your own consumption, you will 
be able to feed your family nutritious, fresh vegetables for much less than 
if you have to buy them. If you are a commercial grower, you now have an 
opportunity to realize very profitable returns for farm crops. Plant Allen’s 
top-grade seeds and nursery stock and you have made a good start toward 
successful gardening in 1949.

THE GENEVA SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY 
GENEVA,OHIO 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: - 
Allen's Nurseries and Seed House has been a customer of 
this bank for some time and has been engaged in the growing and 
selling of Nursery stock and Seeds for a great many years in 
this locality. 
We have found them prompt and reliable in every way and 
their dealings with us have been most satisfactory. 
It is a pleasure to recommend Allen's Nurseries and Seed 
House to anyone in need of the goods they offer for sale. We 
also consider them an excellent credit risk for such as they 
are likely to ask, 
Their goods will always be found as represented and I am 
sure any business dealings with men of such experience and 
character as the Allens will be both satisfactory and pleasant. 
Yours very truly,
