July first every employee will partici- 

 pate on the following basis. 



Whatever net per cent that our 

 store earns every employee will re- 

 ceive the same per cent of tlieir annual 

 salary. For instance, if we earn 10 per 

 cent net jjrofits based upon the cash 

 realized, and an employee earns $l,00il 

 per year, that employee will draw ;i 

 lionus of $10. This effects every 

 employee in our establishment, from 

 the i>orters up. This plan puts them 

 on notice that it is up to them. Take 

 for instance the truck driver, it is up 

 to him to see that he is polite and 

 courteous to eT€iT customer, for if he 

 fails to make a satisfactory delivery, 

 or should disagree with a customer, 

 and we lose that customer it effects 

 his pocketbook. If he makes prompt 

 delivery and makes a pleased custom- 

 er, he benefits thereby. The store 

 porter will realize that is up to htm to 

 see that the store is kept in trim order 

 and see that the floors are kept swept 

 and the windows in order, and all 

 other little necessary details. If he 

 fails to contribute his pro rata to what 

 goes to make a profitable concern he 

 will fail to derive his share of the 

 profits and vise versa. 



I will say that this plan is a success 

 up to the present time, and I am con- 

 fident that it will prove a success to 

 you in your business. Personally, 1 

 feel that the benefits derived from 

 this plan will justify us in perpetuat- 

 ing it as long as we are in business. 

 It is the best investment that I have 

 ever made. 



Now just a word or two regarding 

 our organization as a whole. I will 

 first enumerate the responsiblities of 

 the heads of the departments. The 

 sales manager is responsible for the 

 conduct of the store as a whole, also, 

 ia addition to this he devotes his at- 

 tention to the developement of sales 

 which embodies advertising and serv- 

 ice. 



The service manager is held respon- 

 sible for the delivery of the goods, and 

 all details pertaining to deliveries. 

 The credit manager, which also em- 

 bodies the bookeeping department, is 

 responsible for the handling of ac- 

 counts and collections of all bills and 

 the bookkeeping, and is held strictly 

 accountable to the central organiza- 

 tion for the work. We have our busi- 

 ness divided into four parts: First, 

 the growing of flowers is conducted 

 by a corporation composed of stock- 

 holders of prominent business men. 

 This is separate from the retail store. 

 We buy from this concern the same 

 as we buy from anyone else. The 

 superintendent of growing is held 

 strictly accountable for the affairs of 

 this plant. We are Just entering into 



2 02.
