Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens Of thousands of farmers as well a.
town ard city folks cut down their store
bills o,e-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re.
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down: BY the real money-saving
power Of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
10 cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's fsee II you ak
