"Seeds and Trees that Grow and

edge of the seed and nursery 
business--trying to do my part 
in making your home and mine, 
in fact, this entire great ter- 
ritory of ours, a. better place

basic principles should always 
come first in the operation of 
our business. First, always be 
fair when dealing with your cus- 
tomers. Second, always furnish 
the best possible stock at a 
Faip Price. 
The first principle has al- 
ways been easy to follow. The 
second one has sometimes been 
quite a task. With the rising 
cost of living comes a rising 
cost of operation---due largely 
to increased production, wage, 
and equipment costs. In spite 
of all this, as you look over 
the thousands of varieties of 
of flower and garden seeds plus the 
many different nursery items 
offered, I think that you will 
agree we have done exceptionally 
well this year--so well that I 
would like you to compare our 
prices with any in America to- 
day. In addition to this sav- 
ing, you get hardy, northern- 
grown stock which is adapted to 
your conditions. I know that 
you realize the importance 
of this. 
I sincerely hope that you 
will find some items which you 
can use this spring. Most of 
you will want a garden, as it is 
the best way I know to beat the 
rising cost of living. Whether 
it be field seed, garden seed, 
nursery stock or baby chicks, 
plan to make Gurney's at Yankton 
your headquarters. I pledge to 
all of you a Fair Price, fair
