The House That Made Advance Prepara- 



■S 



tions and is Now Delivering the Goods 



"When raw materials and labor cost more, the finished product costs more and the 'cost 

 more' has io go all the war throutrh to the consumer — It juRt has to — or business stops." 

 —In these words the largest mauufacturers explain their position when prices advance. 



IN offering our Giganteum Bulbs for immediate delivery, 

 we know our stock. We bought it in the field and our 

 Mr. A. Miller, President, followed it from the field 

 through the packing shtd to the steamship. A large part 

 of our requirements came ^n the same steamer on which 

 he returned from a five months' trip to Japan. By being 

 there we are positive that we obtained the highest quality 

 bulbs produced in Japan this year and our full share of the 

 world's supply. It would have been possible to obtain more 

 bulbs by sacrificing quality, but we cherish the confidence 

 begotten of the ceaseless desire to supply service in mer- 



chandise and the quality which means true economy. Poor 

 quality, no matter how cheap, is a waste. We gave pref- 

 erence to quality bulbs selected carefully from the fields 

 and saw to it that the grading was above the average 

 standard. We have full confidence that florists purchasing 

 their lily bulbs from us will enjoy a quality we would not 

 have been able to secure had not our Mr. Miller gone per- 

 sonally to Japan. So rigid was his quality standard that 

 we secured only one-third the quantity we had intended to 

 import. They won't last long. Better wire your order 

 today. ^
