Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



DO GOOD BY STEALTH. 

 You know the rest — "and blush to 

 find it fame." Well, I have talked with 

 two of the leading retailers of Phila- 

 delphia who attended the last meeting 

 of the Florists' Club, and they were 

 both much pleased that Max Schling of 

 N. Y. City had confirmed their views 

 on that point, do good by stealth. 

 Says one whenever there's a glut in 

 the market I send my surplus to the 

 hospitals with a letter to the superin- 

 tendant asking him to be sure and not 

 mention who sent them. Says the 

 other prominent retailer, righto! I've 

 been doing the same thing for years 

 and sending the same kind of a letter 

 but how did you get on to it. The in- 

 nocent bystander asked why the letter. 

 You ought to have seen the look of; 

 contempt on both their faces. Why 

 you poor boob don't you see that if you. 

 ask them to keep it a secret its all 

 over the lot inside of no time at all. 

 Why you can't stop them from talking 

 about it after you've told them not to. 

 The innocent bystander took his hat 

 off to them both and opined that there 

 were many ways of saying it with 

 flowers. But he was unable to see any 

 blushes on either of the immaculate, 

 well groomed features of these pros- 

 perous well to do retailers who had 

 been doing all this beautiful charity 

 work for so many years. In fact if 

 the expression can be described it 

 looked more like a smirk than any- 

 thing else. All of which goes to show 

 that the flower trade is no trade for a 

 simple honest country bred boy but an 

 arena for sleight of hand thought 

 telepathy wireless Christian Science 

 perpetual motion of Golconda Machiae- 

 velli and now you see it and now you 

 don't. In fact if we were to dare to 

 say it, the real meaning of do good by 

 stealth to many of the successful ones 

 today is Do Them — Good. Do it any 

 old way but do them — Good! But no 

 — we take that all back and we know 

 in our heart that they are all very 

 good boys and straight as a string and 

 we have to make our obeisances to 

 them and admire their cute little ways. 

 The sweet little innocents! Long life; 

 to them! !
