COMPETITION. 



That competition is the life of trade 

 is true when it means merely the lower- 

 ing of the cost of production and is 

 coupled with honest methods and hon- 

 orable dealings. 



Cutting down cost of production does 

 not always mean reducing wages or tak- 

 ing on unskilled help. It more often 

 means better help, newer and more prac- 

 tical methods and equipment, studying 

 more closely the requirements of buyers 

 and giving them practically what they 

 ask for, thus retaining their patronage 

 and making them larger and better 

 buyers. 



The baneful results of selling below 

 cost, intimidation and unfair methods 

 of competition, are what the florists as 

 a body should combat. In this broad 

 land there is room for all, and we who 

 live close to Nature's heart should be 

 brothers all. Jos. Reeve.
