The Two Most Important Factors 



in the Ribbon Industry are : 



Raw Silk and Slfilled Labor 



To those of you who have not yet taken olJt advice and placed your Fall 

 Orders with us for RIBBONS and CHIB'FONS, we want to explain why we 

 recommended buyin^f now to save you money (see last week's ad). 



RAW SILK (the basic material in ALL ribbons) is continually advanc- 

 ing in price, and SCARCE considering the demand, which has never been 

 so great. IT IS FREELY PREDICTED IN SILK CIRCLES that RAW 

 SILK will touch higher figures in the next six months. 



SKILLED LABOR is demanding and obtaining higher wages and 

 shorter hours all the time, continually raising the labor cost in production. 



Ribbons and Chiffons of "KEYSTONE QUALITY" 

 are an exceptional bay at today's prices

A NATIONAL RIBBON AND CHIFFON INSTITUTION 



Many florists who have"recently been conducted through our establishment were amazed at 

 the enormous stock we carry and the facilities we have for distribution. 

 Advantageous early purchases of the raw material enable us to undersell the market in many instances. 

 Our modem factory in Paterson^is continually weaving the latest creations for Florists, and in New 

 York four great floors are loaded with merchandise ready for distribution. 



We advise immediate purchases for Fall requirements in anticipation of higher 

 prices and unexampled prosperity in the Floral trade. 



At your service.
