"People instinctively knew whether 

 or not you take a genuine interest in 

 thPir affairs. Instinct tells them 

 whether tliey are regarded as just so 

 iiuieh 'trade;' and you can't blame 

 them tor not wanting to buy in a store 

 where there is a 'take-it-or-leave-it' at- 

 mosphere. 



"Clerks do not have to talk sweet 

 platitudes in order to be- courteous. 

 Courtesy is genuine and forced at- 

 tempts at pleasantry always fall flat. 

 Some men, for instance, have the 

 liappy faculty of making an ordinary 

 remark about the weather in a manner 

 and tone of voice that absolutely 

 proves their intention to be polite. 



"The clerk or proprietor who fails 

 to learn the philosophy of a smile 

 loses sales that pleasantness would 

 have won. 



"Friendship wins friendship. Once 

 your store has achieved the 'sunshine 

 shop' reputation you will find it the 

 best advertisement of all. Friendly 

 store spirit wins friendship for your 

 store that no competitor can under- 

 mine. 



"There is no place in the business 

 world for a 'grouch ' Keep smiling." 



PRESENTATION TO SAMUEL 

 ROBINSON 



Samuel Robinson, president of the 

 Boston Floral Supply Company, had 

 several reasons to be more than us- 

 ually happy on Christmas Day. His 

 company had had a remarkably suc- 

 cessful season with a promise of con- 

 tinued prosperity in the year to come. 

 That fact made him feel good of 

 course, but in • addition Miss Dora 

 Guesser, the floor lady, stepped for- 

 ward and in behalf of the employees 

 presented Mr. Robinson with a hand- 

 some and expensive pair of cuff links 

 and also a beautifully engraved knife 

 bearing the inscription, "To our be- 

 loved friend." Miss Guesser made a 

 brief speech, expressing the cordial 

 feelings of the employees, to which 

 "Sir. Robinson replied feelingly, heart- 

 ily thanking his people for their re- 

 membrances. 



According to reports from Western 

 Pennsylvania, the American Beauty 

 crop is not so large as last year. The 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., says, how- 

 ever, that the quality of Beauties this 

 year is extra good. In the same sec- 

 tion of the country growers of sweet 

 peas have suffered no little loss from 

 the continuous dark weather, which 

 has caused the buds to drop off. This 

 condition has also existed to some ex- 

 tent in other parts of the country.
