^You have heard about 

 the idle rich — well, in the 

 writer's opinion the rich 

 are the busiest people on 

 earth. Of course, as to 

 what some of them are 

 doing, the less said the 

 better, but don't put them 

 all in the same class until 

 you know what the facts 

 are. Some of the rich are 

 doing better work than the 

 poor because they think. 

 One of the hardest things 

 to do is to make people 

 think — to reason out a 

 point and consider mat- 

 ters. 



^ If the buyers of lily 

 bulbs knew all the circum- 

 stances connected with the 

 direct importation of the 

 Horseshoe Brand bulbs, 

 they would buy no other 

 brand. There are no lily 

 bulbs produced which will 

 flower ioo% every year, 

 Horseshoe Brand bulbs 

 will average higher in the 

 course of time than any 

 other brand marketed. 

 There are reasons why 

 and good ones — ask us.
