/ am returning the enclosed bill as you have not 

 alloii.'ed me my usual t^rofessionat discount of 20% 

 or 2S'/t , "which the other manufacturers of agricul- 

 tural chemicals ujlozv me. As I am acting as a 

 I'urcliasing agent for a great many flaces in this 

 1 icinily and as a large number of orders pass ihrougli 

 my office every year, it is only just that 1 should be 

 allozi'ed the usual agency commission. Will you 

 kindly let me hear from you in this matter!' 

 \'<>urs truly,

M Your favor of the 2.S/// ;(//. at hand, in zcltich you M 



M ask us to allow you a discount on the enclosed bill. M 



M ff'i' hai'e only two prices — one a zi'liolesale or B 



g dealers price, and the other a retail price. The g 



M icholesale prices are quoted and allowed only to g 



g dealers 'who actually handle our products and carry M 



g them in stock. M 



M It has ahvays bce}i our policy not to allow any M 



M discount to landscape gardeners or to purchasing g 



M agents of private estates, as zve understand it is the % 



= custom of the estate owners to f'ay these buyers for g 



g the services they render. M 



s We are very much opposed to the practice of M 



= some of these buying agents 'who return the dis- M 



B counts, 'when they are allo-wed them, to their clients. g 



B 77/M' /iii.f created a false impression and one that we % 



p believe has been decidedly detrimental to the interest M 



B ()/' horticulture and no doubt in some instances lias % 



g sensed to discredit the loyalty of some of our best g 



g gardeners to their employers. .4 gardener -would g 



M not be able to obtain these discounts from us and we g 



M certainly 'would not be jusiitied in granting them to g 



I any other representati've of the estate owners. M
