A Framik Statement 



HAMD you ever tried to work in your office 

 wlien the masons were fixing the ceiling, 

 tlie carpenters repairing the floors, and 

 your stenographer was pawing over the 

 papers on your desk trying to find a "lost, 

 strayed or stolen" important paper? 



If you have, you know exactly what a tremen- 

 dous handicap our Irvington factory, has been 

 working under all this summer. We simply 

 had to double the size of our factory. You 

 growers made us do it because you treated us 

 so liberally with your orders. 



To carry on our usual business; take care of 

 this year's increase and have first one depart- 

 ment and then another of the factory all torn 

 up or shifted about; has been a problem which 



makes trying to work in your upset office, 

 look like a circle with the rim knocked oft. 



Very naturally some of our orders have been 

 a bit delayed. Most of our customers have 

 been mighty nice about it; they recognize that 

 it is not always possible to run on schedule 

 time even in their own business. 



From now on, however, things will run along 

 smoothly and deliveries will be made with a 

 promptness that will be particularly pleasing 

 to you all. Send in your orders or have one of 

 our men come to see you. You can't afford 

 not to have L. & B. estimate on any green- 

 house job you may have — not alone as to fig- 

 ures but to have the knowledge that behind 

 those figures stands the L. & B. guarantee.
