"THIS IS THE BUSIEST SEASON" 



The HOUSE OF RICE has ever had 



The many orders placed with us at the Chicagfo Convention coupled with the ENORMOUS 

 amount of business coming to us daily from Progressive Florists all over the country — has caused 

 us to employ MORE help than ever before. NIGHT and DAY work has been the rule here for 

 some time. 



May we ask our many FRIENDS and PATRONS for their kind indulgence. We wish to 

 assure them that their valued orders WILL BE SHIPPED as promptly as possible. 



Our " Willing Helper" Katalog has certainty made a hit. Did you get one ? Yoa should not be without it.
