You will find us just common folks working hand-in-hand with Nature. When you leave here after your visit we’ll be just like old personal acquaintances and, like all others who have visited our farm, you’ll be glad you came and want to come again.
Page 7 shows our officers and department heads. We employ as many as one hundred fifty people during our busy season and from Mr. Beatty our President and General Manager, right through to our janitor, we are first-name acquaintances. Some of our employes have been with us more than twenty-five years.
Our policy of treating employes as men and brothers has resulted in a corps of loyal, industrious and highly capable department heads and employes, making our organization an ideal of efficiency.
The loyalty of our employes was given forcible expression during recent years when labor difficulties were rife and agitation and unrest seemed the natural state of affairs. Throughout this period when so many firms found it difficult to operate with any degree of satisfaction, our operations were continued unhampered with no indication of labor trouble. This shows the keen loyalty and respect we merit from those who are closely associated with our organization and who consequently know us most intimately.
Conspicuous in our every department is unity of purpose. We are working hand-in-hand, closely co-operating in every way to furnish Kellogg customers with the best plants that can be produced at the lowest possible prices consistent with high quality and to render every service necessary to their complete success with Kellogg strawberries.

Originator of Senator Dunlap and Dr. Burrill]
The following tribute from Rev. J. R. Reasoner, veteran strawberry grower and originator of Senator Dunlap and Dr. Burrill, two of the most popular varieties ever introduced--(each the result of many years of untiring effort in scientific crossing and breeding)--should be of special significance to every one who grows or contemplates growing strawberries. Dr. Reasoner is of quiet, unassuming disposition. To know is to love, respect and admire this grand old gentleman to whom honor and right are paramount. He has been acquainted with us for years and his selection of our Company to present to the world Dr. Burrill, the Million Dollar Strawberry, was a substantial expression of the tribute presented below.
