ODEN LETTEI^-/^ READED^ 



SCHLING IN TEST CASE. 



The article in The Review of No- 

 vember 2, "What My Business Has 

 Taught Me," by Max Schling, which 

 was reprinted from System, is quite a 

 revelation. It impressed me when I 

 read it in System and I am glad to 

 have read it a couple of times over in 

 the Florists' Review. 



This article doubtless has given the 

 Rotary motto, "He profits most who 

 serves best," a deep consideration by 

 many who have read it, and I would 

 like to say a word for Mr. Schling 's 

 strict adherence to his policies. 



I had occasion to use halftones of 

 flowers and noticed prints of some 

 valentine novelties prepared by Mr. 

 Schling in The Florists' Review of 

 last January. I wrote to Mr. Schling 

 for photographs, or prices of similar 

 designs for photographing. My letter 

 was misplaced in his files some way or 

 other, and it was after St. Valentine's 

 day before my letter was answered. It 

 was then too late, as my booklet was 

 already on the press, and I wrote him 



that it was too late to use them. He 

 evidently misunderstood my purpose in 

 wanting the valentine designs, for he 

 wrote again, asking my pardon for his 

 lack of service in my particular case 

 and asking, as a partial reparation, that 

 I send him the name of the young lady 

 who perhaps had to go without my val- 

 entine. 



It happened that I had a particular 

 lady friend in New York, who in a few 

 days was leaving for Bermuda. So I 

 sent Mr. Schling her address and sent 

 her his letter, saying that he wanted 

 to send her a few flowers without ex- 

 pense to me and his reason for doing 

 so. Of course, it was a selfish motive 

 on my part to get credit for sending 

 my friend the flowers, as it was prob- 

 able that she would not have received 

 the valentine flowers even after they 

 had been photographed; but I was curi- 

 ous to know whether she would get the 

 flowers, and, if so, if they would be 

 anywhere near as nice an offering as 

 the ones he priced to me. 



I was taking notes on what Mr. 

 Schling in reality believed in his serv-
