THE GLASS MEN 



The National Association of Window 

 Glass Manufacturers will hold their 

 fifth annual meeting at Atlantic City, 

 N. J., on July 27, 28 and 29, at the Ho- 

 tel Trayinore. To judge from one of 

 the photographs herewith reproduced 

 at least two of the members of the or- 

 ganization are already somewhat fa- 

 miliar with the pastimes of the great 

 seaside resort. Of the two happy look- 

 ing gentlemen so comfortably en- 

 sconced in the wheelchair preparatory 

 to a boardwalk stroll the one on the 

 left is O. C. Teague. president of the 

 National Association. His companion 

 is genial Ed. Flood, whom many of our 

 readers already know as the eastern 

 representative of the Jolmston Broker- 

 age Co., the largest distributors ot

glass in this country, selling most of 

 the product of the hand-blown glass 

 factories. 



We also present a portrait of J. R. 

 Johnston, president of the Johnston 

 Brokerage Co., and secretary of the 

 National Association. 



It may interest some of our friends 

 whose duty it is to plan convention 

 programs for florists and kindred or- 

 ganizations to see how the glass men 

 do it when they foregather, so we 

 present the program complete for 

 their meeting.

On behalf of their good friends and 

 profitable patrons, the greenhouse 

 men, we extend congratulations and 

 best wishes that the glass men may j 

 have the time of their lives. We con- 

 fess we cannot get along without , 

 them. May they thrive and prosper, j 



but with due consideration for the 

 pockets of the greenhouse men, when 

 they talk about prices and lay 

 schemes for next season's campaign. 

 When they soar in those Atlantic City 

 aeroplanes we hope the sensation ot 

 flying high will not unduly inflate 

 their ideas of the greenhouse man's 

 limit, but rather produce a feeling of 

 sympathy for the poor mortal who 

 must stay on the earth and who, when 

 he has made a few dollars, is sure to 

 "put it all into sash."
