Tlie Florists' Review

Sue

pELLOW FLORISTS, the big 

 ^ money in the florist business is 

 going to the man who has live agents 

 working for him. I have done 

 $100,000 business through agents, 

 such as local druggists, undertak- 

 ers, bankers, etc. 



The secret is simple. My beau- 

 tifully illustrated catalogue makes 

 it easy for the agent to take and 

 send in orders. It illustrates and 

 exactly describes all kinds of floral 

 designs and decorations. 



You can use this catalogue as 

 your own," carrying your name (not 

 mine), and duplicate my success. 



Write today for, particulars.

everything is up-to-date in every par- 

 ticular. The store itself has a floor 

 space of something more than 3,000 

 square feet, while the cement-floored 

 basement is slightly larger because of 

 the vault, which runs underneath the 

 sidewalk and which will be used for the 

 storage of such flowers as do not re- 

 quire the same degree of cold air as 

 others. The store is well lighted, natu- 

 rally. There are two large display 

 windows at the front, while there also 

 are windows at the rear. The artificial 

 light is obtained from a number of 

 electric fixtures suspended from the 

 ceiling by chains, the globes being in- 

 verted bowls of semi-opaque china. The 

 sales department is practically set off 

 from the receiving and shipping depart- 

 ments by the large icebox in the center
