DURING... 
‘ANCIENT TIMES! 
It was HO-Ho-Kam (The People Who Went Away) who 
first tilled the fertile soil of Central Arizona. Traces 
of their ancient irrigation canals can still be seen. 
It was the early Hopi Indians who discovered and wor- 
shiped Arizona’s greatest assets — Sun, Water and 
Earth. Arizona’s fruitful valleys comprise one of the 
world’s richest per acre producing areas. Here some 
vastly abundant crop is being harvested every day 
of the year. 
lt was ADVANCE who first produced in this sun-drenched 
land many of the grain sorghum varieties needed 
so urgently today in our world economy. 
It was inevitable that these ancient natural resources 
have combined with plant breeders’ genius and our 
seedsmen’s processing skills to produce GOLD TAG 
RELIANCE BRAND grain sorghum seeds, now fa- 
mous for their high quality and genetic purity. 
The nation’s sorghum fields of today are a striking trib- 
ute to the tremendous advancement of the past ten 
years in producing finer sorghum crops. Thousands 
of level, uniform, true-to-type fields attest this fact. 
Small wonder that with the ‘factory,’ the ‘‘tools,’’ and the 
‘know-how’ to work with, ADVANCE has become 
the leading seed house in this highly specialized 
field.
