I Telling Business Secrets | 



S Only three years ago the Boston Floral Supply Co. occupied a little room S 



S in the Parkman building, Boston, Mass., doing a very small business. Today 5 



S the Boston Floral Supply Co. has grown to one of the largest houses in the 5 



S country, manufacturing florists' supplies. Mr. Florist, did yoil ever ask S 



= yourself why this organization has grown to such an enviable position? Let E 



E us tell you just a few of the reasons. 5 



S 1. We have recognized from the very beginning that our customers must = 



= be treated as a part of the concern. To do this successfully, the prices must E 



E be low and the goods satisfactory. E 



S 2. Claims of one kind or another, we have always treated with the S 



E utmost respect, resultant in a suitable adjustment always in favor of our S 



3 customers. = 



E 3. The men behind the Boston Floral Supply Co. are always on the 3 



E alert in keeping costs down. We do this by buying our raw stock in large S 



= quantities and for cash. You can easily see how such methods give our E 



E buyers tremendous buying advantage in the market. E 



= 4. Our Basket department, Cycas department. Wax Flower department E 



E or Wire department, each must pay for itself or it gets out. Therefore we E 



E have no dead department. = 



E 5. Every one drawing a salary in the Boston FloralVSupply Co. earns E 



E every dollar by being actively engaged in the business; therefore no dead S 



= weight. E 



E 6. There is absolutely no unnecessary expense allowed to creep in any- = 



S where. E 



E Mr. Florist, all we ask of you is to investigate the Boston Floral Supply = 



= Co. for your own sake and you will find in the long run that it will pay you E 



E to deal with us. E

E WAX FLOWERS s 



E Mr. Florist, we have spent a fortune in perfecting our wax flowers so that they will — 



S look like the natural ones. Many successful florists have written us of the great aid S 



S these flowers Rive them in these times when natural flowers are so high in price; and — 



S florists all over the country today are combining the natural flowers with our artificial S 



S ones. If you have not learned this combination, why don'tyou just try to work in a few — 



SS artificial Roses. Carnations. Sweet Peas, Callas, Easter Lilies, etc , along with your ^ 



~ natural flowers in your floral pieces? In many cases you are really making a satisfied E 



S customer. H or your own sake just give us a trial order amounting to $25.00 or less and E 



S watch for results. 2 



E Then again you should have some of our Wax Designs, Pillows, Crosses. Anchors, S 



— Sprays, Magnnlia Wreaths, etc.. just to make a display in your shop. If you have no ~ 



— display you will have no call for goods. A good display means you are creating a de- S 

 S mand for your goods. S 

 ^ We guarantee that our prices are the lowest. s
