OPPORTUNITY. 



A Pathetic Fallacy. 



Foi* years humanity has labored under 

 the delusion that opportunity knocks 

 but once. Who ever started that fal- 

 lacy I'm sure I don't know, but it's 

 with us, in a very healthy condition, 

 too. But don't let it disturb you. 

 Though we do believe in popular gov- 

 ernment, the good judgment of the 

 masses, we must admit that the people 

 are wrong at times. There really are 

 quite popularly believed untruths. You 

 know that. But to continue. Do not 

 feel too badly if you did not order 

 KENNICOTT'S Quality Cuts last week, 

 because your chances are not all gone. 

 See, here we are, chief assistants of 

 opportunity, knocking again. 



An Explanation. 



Now, do not misunderstand our use 

 of the term "knocking." We are not 

 trying to discredit any of our compet- 

 itors — they are all well enough in their 

 way — but the House of Quality Plus — 

 KENNICOTT BEOS. CO. — for over 

 thirty years loved and respected by 

 hundreds in the trade, long recognized 

 as the first ' ' Carnation House ' ' and the 

 biggest "Decorative Greens House" 

 and "Headquarters for Peonies," has 

 now for the past year been recognized 

 as "Headquarters for Quality Roses" 

 as well. The Kennicott Bose Depart- 

 ment has won much praise from satis- 

 fied customers. Whyt Because it 

 handles the stock of quality growers 

 ONLY. 



A Bit of Advlco. 



Try some of the famous KENNI- 

 COTT stock and .iudge it for yourself — 

 turn not opportunity away. The 

 House of KENNICOTT is especially 

 well supplied with the best quality of 

 Ophelia. Try some. You'll want more. 

 Suitable for all occasions and every 

 purpose. 



Deal with the House of KENNICOTT 

 at all times. Whatever you want you 

 can get it at KENNICOTT'S; then you 

 will never be disappointed and always 

 have the opportunity of getting the best 

 on the market.

the time the stock can go without water. 

 The big bays travel better than the 

 smaller ones, apparently because tho 

 large tub does not dry out so quickly as 

 a smaller one. 



Forrest Thomas, working for Bassett 

 & Washburn, invested in a first-class 

 bicycle a week ago. June 10 he left 

 it on the curb while using it for de- 

 livery purposes. On his return it was 

 gone. 



Business calls D. D. P. Roy to south- 

 ern Michigan June 18. He expects to 

 be away several days. 



The directors of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association held the last 

 meeting for their fiscal year June 13. 

 Next month the annual meeting of 

 stockholders and an election of officers 

 will be held.
