 ing the arena floor have been sold to 

 the smart set. some of them .selling for 

 $60 each for the entire week. Our lead- 

 ing papers took up the enterprise in 

 earnest right from the start and are 

 publishing daily reminders of the pro- 

 posed exhibits to keep the public inter- 

 ested.

Brother florists of Kansas "and Mis- 

 souri, come and see the show. It will 

 be a "hummer!" 



It will be an educator and you cannot 

 afford to miss it. Don't forget that the 

 management has secured a half rate 

 fare on all railroads within a distance 

 of 200 miles. 



A special sale of cut flowers last Sat- 

 urday by one of our bargain dry goods 

 houses caused a little wailing and 

 gnashing of teeth among the florists. The 

 writer appeared on the scene at the hour 

 the sale was scheduled to begin, and 

 found buyers lined up in front of the 

 counter as thick as a London fog. There 

 were probably more flowers ofl'ered at 

 this sale than were seen in all of the 

 flower .stores combined. It was learned 

 at a late hour Saturday night that this 

 firm had sold 10,000 carnations at 1 cent 

 each, 2,000 roses at 2 cents each and 

 1,000 mums at 10 cents each. They in- 

 tend to try it again. H. J. M. 



IT WAS PROFITABLE. 



Our last adv. was profitable. We 

 were sold out of carnations in less than 

 two weeks from time of first adv.
