FLOWEE POTS. 



A. H. Hews & Co., Inc., of Cambridge, 

 Mass., the oldest and largest manufac- 

 turers of flower pots in the world, an- 

 nounce that for the year 1916 their 

 product and sales have been the largest 

 in the history of the company. Coinci- 

 dent with this condition, extraordinary 

 increased costs of labor and material 

 have been most discouraging and neces- 

 sitated some increases in selling prices. 



They have recently tiiscontinued their 

 jobbing business in glassware, wooden- 

 ware, crockery and other householdware 

 lines, to devote their entire interests 

 to their flower pot manufacturing in- 

 dustry, and have taken steps to increase 

 their capacity by addipg new machines, 

 kilns and drying rooms on the property 

 that was devoted to storage for their 

 jobbing business. 



Several customers throughout the 

 country have suffered by delays in ship- 

 ments and transportation during recent 

 months owing to phenomenal demands, 

 but it is now believed the Hews com- 

 pany is sufficiently equipped to take 

 care of all demands hereafter. Owing 

 to congestion of requirements of com- 

 mercial florists coming periodically 

 twice a year, it is always urged to place 

 orders for shipment far in advance to 

 assure pots being on hand when wanted. 

 Many florists overlook this and suffer 

 delay because it is a physical impossi- 

 bility for any factory to ship every 

 order within a two months' period in 

 spring and fall. 



It is interesting to learn that the 

 Hews company used 8,843 tons of clay, 

 1,653 tons of coal, and employed an 

 average of ninety -five men for their sole 

 industry of manufacturing flower pots 

 during the last j'ear. 



The Hews company are members of 

 the Association of Centenary Firms & 

 Corporations of the United States and 

 rank eleventh in list of fifty-eight mem- 

 bers. J. B. Hall, Gen. Mgr. 



Tarrytown, N. Y. — The annual dinner

 here, will be held at Florence Inn Jan-
