F. T. D. ACCOUNTS. 



From Now On They Will be Paid 

 Through the Clearing House. 



An important statement has just 

 been sent out by Albert Pochelon, 

 Secretary of the Florists' Telegraph 

 Delivery Association. It reads as fol- 

 lows: 



A resolution adopted by the Board 

 of Directors authorizing the Secretary 

 to pay all accounts that are sent to 

 the Clearing House, took effect Janu- 

 ary first. 



Accordingly, all accounts sent to the 

 clearing house for collection will be 

 paid promptly, after this ofiice has 

 been assured that said account is due 

 and no adjustments are necessary. A 

 check for the amount less 20 per cent 

 will be sent to the creditor. The florist 

 owing the account, automatically bo- 

 comes debtor to the F. T. D. A. for 

 the full amount. All checks to be is 

 sued against the Guarantee Fund of 

 the Association. When the accounts 

 are paid they will be credited to the 

 Guarantee Fund less 20 per cent. Any 

 surplus arising (after expenses are de- 

 ducted for collection) from this pro- 

 cedure will be turned into the general 

 fund of the Association. 



The penalty for failure to pay the 

 accounts within ten davs after due 



notice from the Secretary, will be sus- 

 pension and the delinquent's name 

 withdrawn from the list. Article 11. 

 Section 10, Cons, and By-laws. Any 

 balance due a suspended member of 

 his Guarantee Fund after all accounts 

 are paid will be remitted after a lapse 

 of the authorized time, see Article 4. 

 Section 6, Cons, and By-laws. 



The Secretary has been called to 

 account many times by members of 

 the F. T. D. A. for not using his official 

 right in issuing checks to cover ac- 

 counts due. To avoid further criti- 

 cism the above action was declared 

 timely. 



Yours for more F. T. D. A. co-opera- 

 tion.

PHILADELPHIA. 

 William J. Therry, late of Dreers, is 

 now in charge of the vegetable seed 

 department of I. N. Simon & Son at 

 5th and Market. Mr. Therry is one of 

 the best posted men in the business, 

 having been at it for over a quarter 

 century and is especially strong on the

 has certainly secured a valuable man 

 and the public will no doubt show its 

 appreciation by still stronger adher- 

 ence to this up-to-date firm.
