take this opportunity to publicly thank you for the
Paid Ad you gave in last weeks Enterprise Crhe ed
or advises me it was paid adj
You evidently rushed into print without investigating,
for had read the first paragraphon the second page
following you would have seen it intended that the
picture of the canaloupe to have appeared that
page and not where it did. This alone excuses me.
regret that this picture appeared the which you
wrote. l do not wish to claim any of the "honor."
trust the public knows you wrote it now, and II wish
to dsclaim any responsibility"
My contract for 5o evoks make Apr. 7th with the
understanding that two pages were to be devoted to the
seed industry. This the first contract made.
am unable observe" that the book was published
under the auspices of the Board of Trade. Nothing in
the book says So / am afraid some things were .aKen
| for granted.
Active members OF the Board Of Trade tell me the
Board Of Trade did not invest cent in the book Mr.
Van Buskrk may be able to furnish you with state
ment of receipts and disbursements: How many paid
for .underwriting"? For what underwriting?
The publication of the book made possible by in
dvidual subscriptions and before the printers would go
ahead they required that enough copies be engaged to
make them safe. | told you Tor the member of
your family did not subscribe for single copy.
1t is probably easier to graft when benefit is
ceived, but who paid the bills?
The printers said they thought the picture very fine,
and, they had printed it half million times.
they thought it worthy of any place they printed it.
No getting around it, that's great picture; but still
could have picked out a thousand melons in one day last
year as good that one was The old rule applies,
Like begets like" and careful selection does it.
1 This gets the point. The world is different
than it used to be. When person begins to knock,
everybody knows something hurts him, and for that
all successful business men, that all
full truck growers have to consider Every knock
a Boost"
business man who was very successful realized the
value of Boost when he said:
"Say something about me, something good if you can
but for goodness sake say somethng!'
j You gave fine ad It's different than the usual
run of ads and where everybody understands it well
| it does the work.
| Many of our leading business have said it was
big ad for my business
i You accuse me, without any foundation whatever of
many uncomplimentary things.
| [ only say ARE AN HONORABLE GENTLEMAN. When
asked the privilege to explain to you that had moth
ing do with the picture appearing where it did, you
refused to hear and said you did not want an expa
nation. Would you have been the less Honorable to
have heard me? Would you have been the less Honor
able to have Investigated and made such statements as
you would have been able to back up?
Relative to "the member of your family He is young
man. The way to succeed is to avoid the mistakes of
others.
| He will succeed TO QUALITY. Quality
counts" 1t is the whole thing Quality of selection
nothing about anybody unless be say something
good. Don't be knocker Get busy and have no time
to knock.
Usually the knocker is jealous, and everybody will
quickly the cause The knocker usually places him
self in ridiculous position.
