FLOWER POTS. 



A. H. Hews & Co., Inc., of Cambridge, 

 Mass., the oldest and largest manu- 

 facturers of flower pots In the world, 

 tell us that for the year 1916 their 

 product and sales have been the larg- 

 est in the history of the company. Co- 

 incident with this condition extraordi- 

 nary increased costs of labor and ma- 

 terial have been most discouraging 

 and necessitated some increases in sell- 

 ing prices. 



They have recently discontinued 

 their jobbing business in glassware, 

 woodenware, crockery and other house- 

 hold-ware lines, to devote their entire 

 interest to their flower pot manufactur- 

 ing industry and have taken steps to 

 increase their capacity by adding new 

 machines, kilns, and drying rooms on 

 the property that was devoted to stor- 

 age for their jobbing business. 



Several customers tliroughout tlie 

 country have suffered by delays in ship- 

 ments and transportation during re- 

 cent months owing to phenomenal de- 

 mands but the Hews Company now be- 

 lieves it is sufficiently equipped to take 

 care of all demands hereafter. Owing 

 to congestion of requirements of com- 

 mercial florists coming periodically 

 twice a year it is always urged to place 

 orders for shipment far in advance to 

 assure pots being on hand when want- 

 ed. Many florists overlook this and 

 suffer delay because it is a physical 

 impossibility for any factory to sliip 

 every order witliin a two montlis' 

 period in spring and fall. 



It is interesting to learn that the 

 Hews Company used 8,843 tons of clay, 

 1,653 tors of coal and employed an 

 average of 95 men for their sole indus- 

 try of manufacturing flower pots dur- 

 ing the past year. 



The Hews Company are members of 

 the Association of Centenary Firms 

 and Corporations of the United States
