Tfac Florists^ Review ^^"« ^' "" 



A Letter to the Trade: 



' ' A Chicago wholesale house in last week's issue of 

 one of our florists' papers had the audacity to insert 

 a misleading 'Ad' to the effect that other Chicago 

 Wholesalers were buying their left over stock or such 

 stock as they were glad to get rid of, leading the trade 

 to believe that these other Chicago Wholesalers were 

 filling their orders with such clas^ of stock j, so in 

 FAIRNESS to these other WHOLESALERS and in JUSTICE to 

 OURSELVES, we therefore take exception to an 'Ad' of this 

 natura and desire to announce through this same medium 

 that in no case HAVE WE or DO WE ship out stock of such 

 '' a nature, besides it is ridiculous to think that ANY 

 i «^V REPUTABLE WHOLESALER WOULD WANT TO SEND OUT STOCK 

 j:;J;.f l^.that would not give his customers THE BEST OF SATIS-

FACTION, as to ourselves we can only add that time and 

 again have our contentions been upheld by REPEAT ORDERS 

 coupled with the fact that OUR SHIPPING TRADE HAS 

 SHOWN A MARKED INCREASE OVER OTHER SEASONS.
