A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JOHN KIKTAVI, General Manager 
Dear Friend: 
I've just finished going over the mail I've received during the past few 
weeks and when I came across yours -— I wondered why I hadn't heard from you. 
I wish it were possible for you to sit at my desk and read some of the letters 
that I get from folks just like yourself. As you would read, you could see the 
joy and excitement that these miniature trees bring to everyone. 
FOR EXAMPLE: Mr. Chester Conklin of Pennsylvannia is so thrilled over the 
profit possibilities that he's already made a "deal" with three other folks to 
grow miniature trees exclusively for him on a share-the-profit basis. He has 
a number of Florists all set to distribute and he can see a big future ahead.... 
THEN there's Mr. Unger who writes to me asking for a list of people that 
are growing these trees from whom he could purchase a number.... 
REVEREND McDONALD of Illinois writes: "Thank you for this wonderful oppor- 
tunity. I think you are doing a fine work — helping people to enjoy something 
that is so worthwhile. I have my home loaded with plants — over 100 fruit trees 
alone! I'm raising them now to sell to others so you see I am grateful for all 
your help because I know you have all the necessary information." 
and Mrs. Reed of Ohio who is the envy of all her friends because of the 
beautiful miniature date palm tree she developed herself from seed. And Mrs. 
Stoewsand of Calif. who is thrilled because even the leaves on her miniature 
peach trees are tiny! 
AND THEN THERE ARE ANOTHER CLASS OF LETTERS .... perhaps one of these 
includes the reason why YOU haven't answered my last letter.... 
-....these are enthusiastic letters from people that want to start growing 
these miniature trees -- BUT -- even though the cost of the complete plan is more 
than reasonable -- they find it difficult to spare even this small amount. And 
so they asked if I could help them get started by spreading the cost over a 
longer period of time so that they could handle it easier. 
I picked up a handful of these letters and went straight to our credit 
manager. “How about it?" JI asked him. At first he shook his head and then I 
pointed out that our own future success depends on our co-operation with you.. 
since -- indirectly -- to some extent-- you might say we're partners.... 
SURE.... our profit is in direct proportion to the degree of success which 
comes TO YOU and other men and women whom we help to start because our big profit 
comes from REPEAT sales for seeds, Magic-Grow Compound, Ceramic Planters....AND 
IN PARTICULAR --— THE BUYING AND SELLING OF MINIATURE TREES!
