Growers! why gamble? 



There is nothing so certain as your cost of production. Then 

 why take a chance on your selling price? No manufacturer 

 would do it. Even the farmer knows what his returns will be 

 before he ships his products to the market. 



We Buy Your Cut for Cash 



Ship your flowers to us, bill them at wholesale market prices and 

 receive your check by return mail. No doubt as to what your 



returns will be — no commissions to pay. 



Begin To-day 



Market your own cut and do away with the old * * catch - as-catch-can * * 

 system which so very often forces you to accept prices below 

 your actual cost.

 ana then there is the retail store in Oak 



Park, so he has a business covering all 

 the lines, retail and wholesale. 



Looking into the future, foreseeing 

 the return of peace and the resumption 

 of social activities, Paul R. Klingsporn 

 early in the autumn began building up 

 supplies of such items as cattleyas for 

 his house, the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association. He says the results have 

 been as anticipated, obtained even more 

 promptly than expected. 



M. C. Gunterberg has taken perma- 



nent space in the Masonic Temple, where 

 a stock of artificial flowers and pre- 

 pared foliage will be carried. 



It was December 9, 1875, that A.
