I^NE day last week I walked into 

 ^^ a New Jersey grower's work 

 room, and right there, plumb in 

 front of me was a neat little shelf 

 with a Big Ben clock on it, and 

 one of our Supply Books hanging 

 underneath. 



The owner seeing my glance smil- 

 ingly said : "those are the two 

 things that keep us right up to 

 the times." 



Taking the Supply Book down, he 

 turned to the inside cover and 

 pointed to these words — "Anyone 

 not hanging this book on shelf 

 when through using liable to dis- 

 charge." 



Then he explained how he con- 

 sidered that book almost like in- 

 surance. "Suppose, for example," 

 he said : "a heating fitting breaks 

 some zero day. All I have to do 

 is to leaf over that book until I 

 come to the picture of the very fit- 

 ting I want; call you folks up on 

 'phone, and in the shortest possi- 

 ble time I get the fitting." "No, 

 sir, I wouldn't be without that 

 Supply Book." 



Coming home I wondered whether 

 you had one or not? 



Will you let me know? If you 

 haven't I will promptly see that 

 one is sent to you, hot foot.
