Lincoln, Neb., July 23, 1899.
James Vick's Sons,
Rochester, N. Y. :
Gentlemen — It is some 30 years
since I began to patronize James
Vick. I lived in Ohio then. The
enclosed is the second order this
spring. Docs a man usually buy
seeds and plants if they don't germ-
inate or grow? Does he continue
year in and year out to do this and
get no results? Do I buy Vick's
Seeds on account of personal friend-
ship lor Vick's little boys, or be-
cause their word can be depended
upon. Yes, because their word can
be depended upon. I always bear
in mind that it's not what 1 pay for
my seeds, but what they pay me.
It's results I look for, good results,
results that dovetail into profits, re-
sults that always follow when Vick's
Seeds arc planted.
Sincerely, A. C. 2.
