THE 12 OZ., “GIFT BOX” of Hess Brand Paper Shell Pecans, which has been ordered and re-ordered by pleased purchasers in every section of the United States and Canada—and in many foreign countries, including Mexico, Cuba, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, China, France and Great Britain. ] Hess Brand Paper Shell Pecans [Sidenote: Selected for finest flavor—and superior quality] are selected for their superior quality from among the finest nuts produced anywhere in the pecan district. They are the choice of thousands of satisfied customers, everywhere, because they are the finest flavored nuts which Nature produces. They are uniformly large in size, thin in shell and well filled with nut meat, as shown by illustration in natural colors on outside cover. Their plump kernels—of delicious flavor and wonderful nutritive value—are easily removed whole without the use of nut crackers. By following the simple directions in every box, the thin shell is easily cracked with your bare hand. [Sidenote: Sold the world over—under this Money Back Guarantee] [Illustration: THE 10 LB. CARTON for family use—the logical second purchase of many pleased customers. ] They are packed in the beautiful 12–oz. Gift Box shown above; and sold at $1.25 per box, under this Money Back Guarantee:—“Eat six at my risk—if dissatisfied, return the balance within ten days and get your $1.25 back”; yet out of thousands of packages sent out, less than six packages have ever been returned. [Illustration: One shipment of pecans, boxed, ready to send out—photographed in the packing room at Manheim. ] We have Sold Tons of Hess Brand Paper Shell Pecans [Sidenote: The 12 oz. gift box leads to orders for 10 lb. cartons or 175 lb. barrels] Though our Gift Boxes have enjoyed a remarkable sale during the Holiday Season, our business is by no means limited to that period. Orders for large quantities are received throughout the year from individuals for use in their homes; but since each year’s supply has been exhausted in a few months, we have found it necessary to refund money continuously month after month until the new crop was harvested. Numerous purchasers of Hess Brand Paper Shell Pecans have re-ordered many times in a single winter—while many others who have first bought the 12–oz. box have ordered in large quantities up to 200 pounds, rather than be compelled to order so frequently. We have customers who buy by the barrel for their own table, and some who have ordered two and three barrels in a single season. Each barrel contains about 175 pounds. [Sidenote: America does not produce enough pecans of this standard]
