Bass Bred-Up Pecan Trees Can Make You 
Independent in Your Old Age 
Farner BASS was 58 years old when he planted his first papershell pecans. Like 
thousands of other men, he had worked hard all of his life, but saved practically 
nothing. He was past middle age, and faced the likelihood of being dependent 
on his family.

live to see his trees bear, he succeeded through pecans in retiring with absolute 
independence. 
Father Bass has now been gone for several years. Mother Bass at 98 years old 
is still enjoying nice profits from these trees. The shade and beauty of the orchard. 
as well as the nice profits, help her to 
enjoy a contented life. 
Mother Bass today gives this sug- 
gestion to all who want to enjoy their 
retirement years with added income, as 
well as the joy of producing during 
their quiet years: “Plant Pecan Trees 
Mother Bass lives here, in her home paid for by 
pecans. 
PECAN TREES ARE TRULY A LIVING MONUMENT TO FATHER BASS.
