APPRECIATION

than our friendships? It’s good people, good customers, year after year 
that make the only possible opportunity to grow and prosper. After thirty 
years, above and beyond all else, we lay claim to this: We serve the finest 
aggregate group of people in any business relationship anywhere. 
PLEDGE 
To maintain the factors of quality production, quantity production, reason- 
able prices and efficient service, all to the good end that is a fruitful bene- 
fit, a satisfied customer, the proudest item in our line.

that, and will regard it well, you may be sure. 
JUST ONE MORE THOUGHT 
We don’t recall who said this, nor exactly how he said it, but we think of 
it often and pass it on for your consideration when you are thinking of your 
seasons plant requirements: THERE IS NOTHING THAT WAS EVER MADE 
THAT COULDN’T BE MADE WORSE FOR LESS! 
Sincerely 
THE JOSEPH F. MARTIN CO.

MAY WE ASK A FAVOR? Please keep this catalog close at hand through the season. 
That's hard to do — we know, for we have the same problem. In the file, it’s often buried, on the desk 
top they seem to wander away. Will you do this for us? Punch it through and keep it on an active spin- 
dle, or let it lie in your current letter tray. We are always glad to send another copy, of course, but 
that always means a lapse of time, time that could be used to order your plants and have them on their 
way to you. This request is a part of our very special desire to render a prompt, efficient service to you 
straight through this new Spring season. This list is current until fall!
