When we buy bulbs abroad they are 

 paid for in pounds sterling instead 

 of in dollars. When you go abroad 

 your banker gives you a Travellers 

 Credit on London — not on New 

 York, and you likewise pay tribute 

 to England, whether you travel in 

 Japan or Australia. This is be- 

 cause London is the banking center 

 of the World. When the Bank of 

 England changes the rate of inter- 

 est, the World sits up and takes 

 notice. Now the Bank of England 

 was founded by a Scotchman pri- 

 marily to keep the Kings supplied 

 with war money and incidentally 

 maintain the usual commercial 

 supremacy. The strength of this 

 great and powerful institution is 

 owing largely to the fact that the 

 Englishman spends money in ac- 

 cordance with his "income" (pro- 

 nounced "inkum") which is merely 

 the revenue or earnings of his 

 capital without regard to his in- 

 come. That's where the British are 

 wise. They are safe. If American 

 business men today would live with- 

 in their income, there would be 

 fewer automobiles and among flor- 

 ists less glass but their capital 

 would be greater and it would not 

 be long before we had England 

 beaten to a frazzle, even though 

 some of our candy-faced damsels of 

 codfish plutocracy are annually ex- 

 ported with million dollar jack-pots 

 as a bonus for the bankrupt, mono- 

 cle-eyed element of fancy British 

 breed. It's about time the Ameri- 

 can heiresses made a mop of the 

 dog-biscuit dukes and cleaned the 

 earth, instead of licking their boots 

 for a title. Invest in bulbs that 

 will net you an income sufficient to 

 warrant the investment or don't in- 

 vest at all. Horseshoe Brand Cold 

 Storage lily bulbs are the kind that 

 pay a revenue worth while. Write 

 for prices.
