-PAPERSHELL PECAN TREES 
SHADE AND NUTS — 
BEAUTY AND UTILITY! 
“He who plants a GRAYWAY 
Papershell Pecan Tree plants shade, 
comfort, pleasant hours and food 
for those who pass that way~’ 
A few trees certainly make a big 
difference in the appearance of a 
home, don’t they? No wonder we 
love trees so much! They do so 
much for us in so many ways: In 
fact, the home that lacks the fram- 
ing of a few beautiful trees seems 
somewhat “naked,” while the one 
with just a few trees is transformed 
into a most inviting and lovely 
place: 
The Pecan is one of the most 
beautiful and long-lived of trees, 
valuable not only because of its 
shapely form and long life, but also 
for its delightful, nutritious nuts. The 
food value of pecans is well known, 
but do you know that a single 
pound of pecan meats has approxi- 
mately the same amount of food 
value or energy as four pounds of

The pecan is the only tree we 
know of that will actually PAY you 
for setting it out. It will repay you 
every penny you put into it and then 
continue to pay dividends in cash (if 
you sell the nut crop) year after 
year—yes, long after the planter has 
departed from the scene. We have 
a friend who gathered more than 
1,000 pounds of fine papershell 
pecans from his yard shade trees. 
Most homes in the pecan belt can 
grow a valuable part of their food 
supply on GRAYWAY Papershell 
Pecan Trees right in their yards, for 
the pecan will provide both shade 
and food. 
When you buy an ordinary shade 
tree you SPEND money, but when 
you buy a GRAWAY Papershell Pe- 
can Tree for your home, you are 
making a wise investment that you 
can expect to pay every-increasing 
dividends as the years go by. Had 
you ever thought that just a few 
GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan Trees 
planted about your home might 
easily pay your taxes? We have a 
photograph of a home in South 
Texas with one pecan tree in the 
yard that has kept the taxes com- 
pletely paid for many years. 
What Finer Tribute to the Memory of a Loved One or 
a Dear Friend? . . . The Lofty, Stately Pecan! 
The custom of erecting impressive 
monuments to honor the memory of 
great men is as old as the ages. The 
pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal of 
India, the Washington and Lincoln 
memorials are outstanding exam- 
ples. But cold marble and bronze, 
no matter how impressive, lack the 
warmth and feeling with which we 
like to remember our loved ones: 
Following the example of Texas’ 
beloved governor, James Stephen 
Hogg, who requested that a pecan 
tree be planted at his grave, many 
people now plant trees as memorials 
to departed friends and loved ones 
The suggestion has been ad- 
vanced that group plantings be 
made in memorial groves to honor 
the war dead from certain counties 
and towns: This thoughtful sugges- 
tion included the idea of placing a 
memorial marker at the base of each 
tree and that proceeds from yearly 
pecan crops be used to create a 
memorial fund

A TREE FOR EVERY 
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY 
Why not plant a GRAYWAY 
Papershell Pecan Tree for each 
member of your family? Children 
will thrill to the idea of possessing 
a tree, of having a GRAYWAY 
Papershell Pecan Tree actually 
is is the first time we have ever put them in our 
planted for them. Why not let the 
tree and the child grow up together? 
‘What finer home-tie? What better 
psychology than the suggestion that 
your child strive to develop a 
character as sturdy and stalwart as 
the tree you have planted for him?
