Owner's Description
The back cover for this issue and the following is an advertisement for the American Seed Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. American Seed ran an operation where they mailed seed packets to aspiring child entrepreneurs, who were then supposed to sell those seeds to their friends and neighbors, and send their proceeds back to the company in exchange for various prizes (or pass on the prizes and just keep one-third of their gross sales). Although this business model evidently lasted for over 60 years, eventually what Time described as "childhood corruption" doomed the company -- kids simply took the money and ran. By 1981, they were losing $600,000 a year to financially untrustworthy children!
Although there is a later American Seed Company in Spring Grove, about 40 miles down US 30 from Lancaster, it is apparently unrelated. The mail-order American Seed didn't make it out of 1981 and closed its doors, and its seed packets, forever.
Old case.
