It's a Real Pleasure to Sell Heacock's 



Fine,Home-GrownPalms 



custome: 



rs get the kind of quality they like when you sell them Heacock's 

 Palms — and you get the kind of returns you like. It's a real 

 pleasure to handle our Palms — they are sure to please the most 

 particular of your customers — and besides, they enable you to 

 make money in three ways.: 



Firht, you can sell them on a g:ood margin. 

 Set'ond, they "move" quickly — don't tie up your floor 

 :>^ and counter space for long at a time. 



Third, there need be no loss by their perishing on 



your liands — a little attention from one of your 



clerks will keep them in flrst-rate shape. This is 



because they are grown by Palm specialists from 



seed to mature plant, right here in our own houses. 



Thei^e's money for YOU in handling our Palms — 



we can prove it by hundreds of firms who have been 



our customers for years. Here are our prices, and the 



stock was never better — let us hear from you NOW.
