/ am i\Uiiniiiig the enclosed bill as you haze not 

 ulloiced me my nsual proiessionat discount of 20% 

 or 2i'i'< . icliich the other manufacturers of agricul- 

 tural chemicals allozv me. As I am acting as a 

 furchasing agent for a great many places in this 

 vicinity and as a large number of orders pass through 

 my office every year, it is only just that I should be 

 allowed the usual agency commission. Will you 

 kindly let me hear from you in this matter? 

 Yours truly, 



Dear Sir: — 



Your favor of the 28//; nit. at hand, in zvhich you 

 ask us to alloii: you a discount on the enclosed bill. 



\Vc have only ttco prices — one a icliolesalc or 

 dealers price, and the other a retail price. The 

 ivholesale prices arc quoted and alloived only to 

 dealers who actually handle our products and carry 

 them in stock. 



It has akvays been our policy not to allow any 

 discount to landscape gardeners or to purchasing 

 agents of private estates, as ivc understand it is the 

 custom of the estate ozcuers to pay these buyers for 

 the services they render. 



IVe are very much opposed to the practice of 

 some of these buying agents wlio return the dis- 

 counts, when they are allowed them, to their clients. 

 This has created a false impression and one that we 

 believe has been decidedly detrimental to the interest 

 of horticulture and no doubt in some instances has 

 served to discredit the loyalty of some of our best 

 gardeners to their employers. A gardener zvould 

 not be able to obtain these discounts front us and we 

 certainly would not be justified in granting them to 

 any other representative of the estate owners. 

 Yours truly,
