A Farewell Message to All 
Customers and Friends 
Greetings: 
In the first place, it is my pleasant duty to sincerely thank 
you again for your continued support and confidence during the 
past year. Your helpful letters, your expressions of appreciation 
and satisfaction, have been of so friendly and personal a char- 
acter that I feel I cannot let this opportunity slip by without a 
word or two to you who have made business a real pleasure to me. 
But now I have come to the end of the road. After nearly 30 
years of work I have decided to quit and turn the business over to 
younger people. Mrs. Violette Swayne who has worked in my 
office for many years and her husband have taken the business 
and will continue it under “SWAYNE’S GARDENS,” 9th St. S. W. 
and Pear St., Puyallup, Wash. You may have every confidence in 
their ability and trustworthiness to continue the business as my 
successors and I ask you to give them your hearty support. They 
have taken over all Iris and Delphiniums and moved to their own 
home, and my gardens and home are now closed to the public. 
It has been a privilege and a great pleasure to serve the thous- 
ands of customers I have had in all parts of the United States and 
several foreign countries throughout all these years and especially 
you who have sworn by PUDOR’S DELPHINIUMS AND IRIS for 
the past 20, 25 and even 30 years. I thank you for your support 
and confidence, I greet you once more and wish you all well. 
Sincerely, 
OEMs EUDOR? 
Puyallup, Wash., 
November 1, 1948.
