Plant Seed Deeper in Summer
Summer sowing requires deeper planting to keep seeds in contact with moist soil as surface dries. Larger seeds need deeper placement. Irish potatoes may need six to seven inches. For small seeds sow medium shallow and cover with moist sacks or planks, removing them as seedlings emerge.
Frigidaire ads boost sales and plant expansion
Felix Maier, local Frigidaire distributor, notes ad campaigns lifted six year sales from under 90 thousand to over 200 thousand units. Monthly sales rose to about 25 thousand, prompting 36 extra acres and a $20,000,000 expansion. Newspaper advertising widened reach to rural and urban homes, hotels, and retailers, changing perception of Frigidaire as an essential household item. Delco-Light also selected The Standard as its local advertising medium after evaluating local influence.
