If You See The Other Fellow Sitting On a 

 Tack Must You Go And Do Likewise? 







coursu not! 



Yoti'd profit li> the oilier fellow's experience, 

 and steer cleur of that ta<k-cro\vneil <liair. 



And yet there are any number of growers who 

 are doiuK the slt-on-the-sanie-tack-stunl every day 

 1)11 ii uiucli more expensive scale — yes, and more 

 painful, too. 



They see the other fellow (multiplied by tens 

 and hundreds I put up a rheap ramsluulile house. 

 Tlien a little while later they listen to his tale of 

 woe about heavy re|)air and upkeep exiiense. 



When ho mournfully complains that his produc- 

 tion isn't as hij;h in either iiuanlity or <|ualily as 

 he thinks it should be. they try to play I'ollyanna 

 and find a bright side. Liut "there aint no such 

 animal." 



They slap hlni on the liack and try to cheer 

 away his "(ilooniy <!us" look when Beasun after 

 heason finds him still In the ••notyclarrlvcd" 



cla.-^s. 



.\nd yel- heri''s Ihc part that's niinhly hard to 

 understand after seeing for themselves the dire 

 reaiilts of the other fellow's priH (•edinj;s, they pro- 

 ceed to do the very same thing themselves. They 

 deliberately sit down on (he la<K that punctured 

 the other fellow's success-dreams. Ridiculous'.' 

 or course! 



'Ihat's why we don't believe you're going to "do 

 likewise." liecause of which, we believe that vt'e 

 could talk together to our mutual advantage. 



We go anywhere for business or to talk business.

Slingerlands, N. Y. — The fireen- 

 houses and laud owiiei by Fred (iold- 

 ring were once a part of the estate of 

 the late .lames Hendrick, which in its 

 time was one of the finest private es- 

 tates around Albany. AlthouRh some 

 of the houses are now very old they 

 are still in substantial shape and un- 

 der the expert care of their owner, 

 produce tine crops of sweet peas, car- 

 nations, chrysanthemums, Boston 

 ferns and general plant stock. While 

 the place is quite isolated, yet the 

 home demand now takes a large pro- 

 portion of the product, the automobile 

 trade beine: constant and profitable. 

 Mr. Goldring has several acres of land 

 under cultivation and he and his fam- 

 ily live the ideal rural life.
