THURSDAY October 24 1946 Cy Washburn manager of John Deere Plow Co of Syracuse sent me a letter from The Burr Nurseries Manchester Conn. "When I was down to Deerham Fair, Saturday I talked to Shep Cook, the John Deere dealer there in Wallingford. I told him that 11 of the largest nurseries in the country had gotten together in an Research organization called the Nursery Mens ^ Foundation whose one objective is to develop labor saving machinery for the specific purpose of helping nursery men. Cook told me you might contact Ben Rothwell in Springfield and he in turn could tell you what Theodore Brown is doing now. Understand Theodore Brown developed most of the John Deere machinery Cook thought he might be retired now and would welcome an opportunity to help the nursery men out, providing we can get together. Would appreciate you following up on this and letting me know aobut it. C.R.Burr & Co Chas. S. Burr President
