The Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, “Miracle Wheat in Demand”
“The notice in The Watch Tower of June 15 that Brother Bohnet has “miracle wheat” in abundance now, and that he will sell it at $1 per pound and donate the entire proceeds to our Tract Fund, has brought in many orders. These will be filled between August 15 and September 1. No limit as to supply has been noted. Sent by Express, prepaid, the price will be twenty-two pounds for $20; fifty-five pounds for $50; larger quantities at the latter rate. The merits of this wheat over the common variety have been mentioned in previous issues of The Watch Tower.”
A follow-up notice reporting demand for the seed and setting bulk prices. It appears in the issue between the mastheads for 1 August and 15 August 1911.
