THESE PREMIUMS 
WITH EARLY ORDERS 
We like to show our appreciation for early or- 
dets with a real practical “thank you.” While 
orders after September 15 are not “late” in the 
planting sense of the word, those received before 
that date can be worked ahead of the rush. These 
earlier orders are not shipped until the proper 
planting time, of course, but getting the book 
work done ahead of time means a saving for us. 
ORDER So if you will send your or- 
BEFORE = der before September 15, you 
eee are welcome to your choice of 
the premiums below. Orders 
received after that date will 
get a premium, but we reserve 
the right to select which one. 
Your choice of the following premiums, alike 
or assorted. 
Any 1 premium with a $4.00 to $6.00 order. 
Any 2 premiums with a $6.00 to $8.00 order. 
Any 3 premiums with an $8.00 to $10.00 order. 
Any 4 premiums with an order for $10.00 
or more.

hundreds of items we list. So I say again: order early, while we 
have plenty of everything on hand. We’ll ship at the proper
