The Horists' Review 



"I Wouldn't Have Missed It 

 For a Thousand Dollars/' 



The man who said it was Henry Schmaus, of Schmaus 

 Bros., Paducah, Ky., and he was talking about his week 

 spent in this market— particularly about the value to him 

 of seeing with his own eyes 



^ The Really Inspiring Resources 



of the Randall Establishment 



There are many large buyers of Florists' Supplies who, like Mr. 

 Schmaus, have not visited the Chicago Market for several years. To all 

 such we say, "Come, come soon." There have been tremendous devel- 

 opments in the Florists' business in Cnicago in the last five years, espe- 

 cially in Florists' Supplies, Ribbons and Chiffons. We merely state the 

 fact when we say the Randall sales in these departments last month 

 were more than double those of a year ago, constituting the largest 

 month's business in the history of the house, larger even than the big 

 autumn months of other years. It merely shows the growing appreci- 

 ation of Randall's ability to serve the Trade. 



• 



We are doing a record business, but Florists are buying mostly for current 

 needs, not for next Fall and Winter. Merchandise will be scarce next winter and 

 NOT cheaper in price. All signs point to advances. 



It is high time orders were being placed for Fall. The Florist who gets his 

 goods now will pay no more, if as much, and next winter he will be pushing his 

 selling when th^ other fellow is spending his time hunting for merchandise or waiting 

 for it to come. 



The Randall salesman in your territory will serve yon well, but 

 there is Inspiration in a visit to Chicago, the Great Central Market.
