Your Financial Statement 



Every sale of Cut Flowers represcDts CASH to the 

 grower. A Commercial Grower's existence depends 

 entirely upon the prices at which his products 

 are marketed. 



A SALES REPORT is a FINANCIAL STATE- 

 MENT from the Commission House io the consignor, 

 whereby a COMMERCIAL GRO AER can determine 

 his marhet in GAINS or LOSSES. 



To make the best connections with a Commission 

 House is to know the FACE VALUE for which Cut 

 Flowers are disposed.
