the business Of the firm grew to such
proportions that Il became necessary
TO movs to Mexico where two great
railroads give ample facilities for
Supplying the demand which their hne
stock and popular business methods
have created In other states as well
as in Missouri.
The nurseries now cover 100 acres
Of valuable land In the edge Of Mexico,
