The Weekly Florists' Review, 



979 



You buy 



ribbons here, the ribbons 

 which are the RIGHT 

 RIBBONS for florists to 

 use, and you save more — you make more. 



You save all between profits because you buy direct 

 from the mill. You make more, for you get perfect rib- 

 bons, perfect colors, and the same grades always. 



Buying from supply houses and jobbers your ribbons 

 wilf vary, will be different weaves, and colors will not 

 always be the same. Has not this been your experience ? 

 Try our way.
