Seed Corn Dealer expands into seeds and chemicals

In October 1938 I began as a farmer Seed Corn Dealer in the area. The business grew in the 50s to offer farm seeds chemicals and fertilizers. The 60s saw large buildings and a surge in certified oats and soybean seed sales along with chemicals. By the 70s two new salesmen will cover the area while I remain available. A Bux refund offer runs until March 31 with Chevron reimbursement. Ed Swartzen druber and Gary Bonar will call on the north and south areas respectively. I will still visit Kalona Sales Barn Thursday afternoons in winter.
