_Selling a farm product (can be used for vegetables, eggs, hams, and bacon or any farm product)_

CORN CENTER NEW JERSEY

June 1, 1922.

Dear Madam:

Do you like perfectly fresh vegetables--right off the farm?

What kind of vegetables are you getting? Do you know how long ago they were picked?

Perhaps you think that you cannot have absolutely fresh vegetables for your table or that it really makes no difference?

Did you ever taste Golden Bantam corn the same day or the day after it was picked? Do you know Golden Bantam or is corn just corn? Do you think that string beans are just string beans?

And do you know about stringless string beans?

I grow only the thoroughbred varieties. I pick them when they are tender--just right for the palate. And I send them to you the same day that they are picked.

I arrange hampers according to the size of the family. The prices, quant.i.ties, and selections are on the enclosed card.

I will deliver at your door (or send by parcel post) every day, every second day, or as often as you like. You can have the best that is grown in its best season and as fresh as though you were living on a farm.

Try a hamper and know what vegetables are!

Very truly yours, Henry Raynor.

HOWARD MOTH PROOF BAG CO.

WINSTED, CONN.

May 2, 1922.

Dear Madam:

Have you ever taken your best coat to an "invisible mender"

and paid him ten dollars to have him mend two moth holes?

Have you ever gone to your trunk to take out your furs and found that the moths had got into them? Sometimes they are so badly eaten that they are utterly hopeless and must be thrown away.

All this trouble, disappointment, and expense can be avoided if you will only take the precaution this spring to put away your clothing and furs in the Howard Moth Proof Garment Bags.

Strongly constructed of a heavy and durable cedar paper, and made absolutely moth-proof by our patented closing device, the Howard bag provides absolute protection against moths.

As the Howard bag comes in several sizes, from the suit size, ranging through the overcoat, ulster, and automobile sizes, and as each bag has room for several garments, you can surely have protection for all your clothing at small cost. The hook by which the bag is hung up is securely stapled in place by bra.s.s rivets. This bag is so strong and so well designed for service that it will with care last for several years.

Very truly yours, The Howard Moth-Proof Bag Co.
