Founder 
Entering Our 
40th Year With 
Expanded Vigor 
and Facilities 
It is significant, we think, that as 
we enter our 40th year of com- 
mercial distribution of seeds (this 
business had its inception in 1902— 
48 years ago—when D. M. Wet- 
sel, Sr., embarked on a career of 
growing pure-bred seed corn), our 
facilities for cleaning, storing and 
handling of seeds should be ma- 
terially expanded. This fact alone 
reflects a continuing determina- 
tion to furnish our customers with 
the highest quality of seeds and 
allied merchandise with the great- 
est possible promptness and_ ef- 
ficiency. 
Often when a business grows ‘‘old”’ 
it begins first to drift and eventually 
to start down grade. We are still 
growing. 
To the right is shown a large 
building that we acquired a few 
months ago. Known as our Gay 
Street Warehouse, it contains ap- 
proximately 1144 acres of floor 
space. As will be observed, it is 
one of the largest buildings of its 
kind in the Shenandoah Valley 
and adjacent territory. 
This building will soon house our 
entire field seed department, where 
practically all grass seeds and grains 
will be processed and stored. New 
and modern cleaning mills, ele-

14 block from intersection of Route 11. Three floors visible from east side.

in foreground. View taken from a plane. 
vators and conveyors have already been installed. This equipment will 
virtually double our facilities for cleaning and handling farm crops. 
The building on West Market Street, shown above, which we have oc- 
cupied since it was erected in 1935, will continue to house garden seeds, 
nursery stock and all allied lines, both wholesale and retail. 
All cleaning machinery will, in due time, be moved from this building 
to the Gay Street Warehouse, where laboratory facilities will be pro- 
vided for testing the moisture, purity and germination of all seeds,
