The company propose pushing their business and doing not only a good thing for themselves but for Ann Arbor and the vicinity in creating a market for a new product.
President Heinzmann has sent a calegram to Belgium ordering sufficient of the best quality of chicory seed sufficient to sow 30 acres.
The chicory roots are protected by a duty of 40 cents a pound, has practically cut off all importations from Europe.
