 for $30,000, was recently sold again, 

 this time to the Khedive of Egypt." 

 As the stock has been already dis- 

 seminated to the trade in th:s coun- 

 try, the khedive must have purchased

To get the most money out of your business you must produce 

 the best stock at the lowest possible expense. Are you sure there is 

 no waste in your business? Are you sure every one of your methods 

 is the cheapest as well as the most effective? 



The best stock isn't always the most costly to produce. It's more 

 • often in doing the right thing at the right time. And that's what 



THE FLORISTS' MANUAL, By william scott, 



keeps you posted on. It is a $10 book for $5, and the best investment you
