125 Years Ago...
Most farmers 125 years ago formed in a pretty primitive manner depending
on nature, luck, hunches and hearsay to make their crops, animals and birds
productive. Each farm was a self-sufficient unit. The scientific feeding and
balanced rations being used now were unheard of and there were no produc
tion standards to follow. Then, a bushel of wheat brought $1.22; a bushel of
corn was 55c, and oats were 42c a bushel.
The discovery of the vitamins and their importance to nutrition up a
new chapter of investigation in the formulation of feeds for farm animals.
From 1913 (when vitamin A was definitely placed os to nutritional value) down
to the present day, the whole subject of vitamins has been given thorough and
exhaustive study ail for the benefit of Red Rose feeders.
Getting your animals started right and feeding
them right has been our only business. Our goal
has always been to help you achieve better pro
duction for smaller investments. We find nutri
tion answers in our research laboratories, and
prove them on our working farms, in our busi
ness ... as on your farm . . . there is no time
when we can stop and say "This is the end."
We will always keep pace with the advances in
scientific feeding of farm animals and as

John Eshelmon a 26-year old Lancaster Coijiily
farmer may hove been thinking about tall oaks wneri
he decided one day in 1842 to grind grain for his
neighbors and friends in an abandoned gun factory.
Now his "acorn" has grown into a feed business
which serves livestock and poultry producers in 22
states and 39 foreign countries. Under the familiar
RED ROSE trade mark, feeds are manufactured by
John W. Esheiman & Sons at six plants and sold
through some 1,200 independent feed dealers.

new discoveries are made. Red Rose will quick
ly put them to work.
There have been many changes in the Eshel
man company in the past century and a quar
ter. There will be many changes in the years
ahead. But one thing will never change: the
tradition of serving friends and neighbors in a
fair and straightforward manner.
