LANDSCAPINGS WITH PERSONALITY 
Marshalls have trained and experienced landscape designers. 
They make plans for country and city home grounds, for parks, ceme- 
teries, schools and churches; for small lots as well as large. No job 
is too small or too large for Marshalls to handle. 
Marshalls do not make mail-order sketches; but individual jobs 
are tailored to fit. A Marshallman must be on the ground to see the 
buildings, the existing trees, grades and type of soil. He wants to 
know the owner’s wishes and needs. A landscape man can help with 
practical suggestions for the location of buildings, driveways. walks 
and the construction of grades. The owner and landscape man agree on 
a general understanding of what may be done before a sketch is drawn. 
Then, in the owner’s home, he presents this plan describing the 
appearance and explaining the benefits of the proposed picture. He 
explains how he has adapted his particular ideas to the situation. 
All phases of this proposed picture may be discussed. All questions 
can be answered on the spot. The plan should fit the owner’s wishes 
and needs, fit his property and surroundings, and his pocketbook. 
The company requires that all landscape sketches for orders of 
$100.00 or more be sent into the office. Marshalls have a reputation 
for b-ing tops as a landscape firm in this middie west and they desire 
to keep this reputation. They train the local Marshallmen to make 
small sketches. These local men are expected to ask for assistance on 
large problems from our more experienced landscape designers. 
With such a policy, Marshalls are able to create plantings that 
are attractive, harmonious, individual, different, up-to-date, and 
practical -- Landscapings with Personality.
