Your Extra Efforts Lead to Bigger Results Says Unit Owner From the
Klondike
April 21, 1920.
By the time I am back in Dawson, I will have travelled 11,000 miles
to visit the Keystone Pecan Plantations. Long as this trip is, what
I saw there well repaid me for the effort.
Throughout this district (around Albany) I made inquiry regarding
the Keystone Pecan Orchards and heard that your orchards were noted
not only for their large size but also for the extra care and
cultivation given the trees. The advantage of these high scientific
standards and thorough supervision are apparent all over the
property. I was pleased to see over a hundred thousand pounds of
ground bone meal being put around the trees to fertilize them. It is
such extra effort that leads to biggest results.

“Our Interests Are in Safe Hands,” Says Rev. George W. Lutz, Unit Owner.
Pennsburg, Pa., June 26, 1919.
Your plantation is large—very large. The soil is real pecan soil.
When I saw thousands upon thousands of pecan trees—budded and large
bearing trees—in the same kind of soil, on all sides, I no longer
asked myself the question whether my units were of soil on which the
pecan would grow into a productive and profitable orchard. When I
saw the kind of trees you planted—thick-stemmed and healthy trees,
and the splendid care given them as regards cultivation and
scientific pruning, I was still better satisfied.
But I am convinced, now that I saw it all, that soil, climate,
moisture and virile trees, necessary as these are, they are not the
whole thing in producing a thrifty pecan orchard. These factors
mixed with brains grow the pecan. I congratulate your company, first
of all, upon the fact that you have a real executive in your
energetic President. Mr. Elam G. Hess. It is this master mind that
has planned so wisely and soundly for the future. Every unit holder
with whom I have talked has the fullest confidence in his integrity
and ability. In my opinion, therefore, the affairs of your company
and the interests of the unit owners are absolutely safe in his
hands.
Finally, permit me to congratulate you upon your and our good
fortune in securing the services of Mr. William P. Bullard as
Horticulturist. Mr. Bullard is without a doubt the best-posted pecan
man in the country today. He is not a theorist but very practical. A
visit to his well-kept bearing orchard and nurseries was a most
delightful one. I am absolutely confident that what Mr. Bullard has
already done in his own orchard he can accomplish for you and all
unit owners—grow a productive and profitable pecan orchard in the
shortest possible time.
