The Weekly Florists' Review* 



197 



"Subject to Change Without Notice." 



That is a line you sec on cviiy price- 

 list, also in every wliolosalo ailv. This 

 line, so simple, still with so much 

 meaning, and with all it is lil^e the 

 ■weather man, a future forecast, for no 

 dealer or grower of flowers can see to- 

 morrow. 



This subject is forced on us in a 

 strange way. Last week Mr. (Irant, of 

 The Review, and Mr. Howard, of The 

 Florist, and Mr. Sanders, of the Ex- 

 change, came to our store, as we sup- 

 pose they go to all others, and asked 

 our view of the week's trade .just past 

 and what we thought the prin^ would 

 be for the week to come. 



Our answer was, see our adv. Now 

 that goes to show what we thought at 

 the time, and said so. 



But so far as our guess was, it only 

 lasted the remaining part of the week, 

 and we did not think at the time that 

 the different papers did not apiiear to 

 the reader till the end of the week; 

 and unless Uncle Sam was prompt, 

 some did not get their paper till Mon- 

 day, and by Monday all had changed, 

 for Saturday afternoon local trade got 

 brisk and cleaned up the market and 

 the dull weather made stock very 

 scarce on short notice, and we, in this 

 case, had to fall back on the opening 

 line. 



With these few re larks we want to 

 say that this proves what we have AL- 

 WAYS CLAIMED, give the COUNTRY 

 BUY'ER the CHICAGO MARKET 

 PRICE at time of shipment. If WE 

 can't fill your order it is not to be had.
