Dear Orchidist: 
It's that time again....the Time of Year when we clean up 
the files end retire the persistently inactive members of our MAILING 
LIST to the "Dormant" file. 
How about you? If we've received a letter, 4 postcard or 
an order from you during the year of 1951; end if nothing we've sent 
you during the year has been returned by the Post Office, you're in for 
another yearseceunless you sey you don't want to bee. 
But we are not mind readers. If we have had nothing but 
silence from you for over a year, and you don't respond to this gentle 
prodding either, how can we assume you are still interested in Oxchids 
in general or in Ryerson Orchids in particular? 
So please drop us a card or letter right away, and let 
us know if your name and address is correct as stenciled -- or else 
don't feel nurt when you wake up end find yourself filed away among the 
"Dormants". 
Herets hoping you and yours heve an ORCHIDACEOUS 1952! 
Sincerely, 
THE RYERSONS
