HOW TO TREAT YOUR COMPET- 

 ITORS. 



Houston, Texas, has in her midst 

 a florist who is "the very pink ot cour- 

 tesy", judging from the following con- 

 tribution turned in by H. H. Kuhl- > 

 mann, Jr., for the edification of the [ 

 Texas State Florists at their conven- 

 tion in Houston. 

 Mr. President and Gentlemen: 



"We all know that competition is suc- 

 cess to all business, no matter what 

 kind it is, so the policy that 1 find 

 best is this: — forget that you have a 

 competitor, forget that he exists. Don't 

 go around and talk about him as you 

 will be the one to suffer in the long 

 run. If at any time you have any- 

 thing to say about him speak good 

 and forget his faults. 



If at any time your customer comes 

 in and you are out of the article she 

 desires don't tell her that there is 

 not any more in town; tell her that he 

 has it and let her go to your compet- 

 itor and she will come to you next 

 time. When you meet him in com- 

 pany treat him as one of your best 

 friends. If he insists on being treated 

 in any other way, well just take him 

 to your club and buy him a good drinl; 

 and cigars." 



We do not recall having ever met 

 Mr. Kuhlmann, but we can imagine 

 that he is such a man as Byron had 

 in mind when he wrote 



"Tho' modest, on his unembarrass'd brow 

 Nature had written— 'Gentleman.' " 



BETWEEN NEW YORK AND BOS- 

 TON. 



Many of our readers will no doubt 

 have occasion to make the trip be- 

 tween New York and Boston this sum- 

 mer. To all who have not already given 

 it a trial we would say most emphati- 

 cally "All-the-\Vay-by-Water" is the 

 ideal way. The great express passen- 

 ger steamships, the white fliers 

 Massachusetts and Bunker Hill, leave 

 Pier 18, foot of Murray street, New 

 York, every day, Sundays included, at 

 5 P. M. From Boston they leave In- 

 dia Wharf every evening at the same 

 hour. Due at either destination at 8 

 A. M. This Is a delightful experience, 

 a sail through the entire length of 

 Long Island Sound and the open At- 

 lantic from Vineyard Sound around 

 Cape Cod and up Massachusetts Bay. 

 There is no comfort or luxury of travel 

 that the Eastern Steamship Company 

 does not provide for its patrons on 

 this trip and its popularity is so pro- 

 nounced that it becomes very essen- 

 tial to engage state room accommoda- 

 tions a few days in advance to make 

 sure of same. Orlando H. Taylor, 

 formerly Passenger Agent of the 

 Fall River Line during the days of the 

 greatest popularity of that route, is 

 Passenger Traffic Manager of the out- 

 side line and counts among the New 

 York and Boston florists many of his 

 staunchest friends.
