the prices have advanced materially. 

 There has also been a fair supply of ca- 

 lendulas, snapdragons and sweet peas. 

 All of these have been bringing good 

 prices. The cheapest sweet peas offered 

 have been $1 per hundred. The best 

 have brought as high as $4 per hun- 

 dred. F. P. A.

The Market. 



During the entire week, the market 

 iias experienced an active spell. Stock 

 has been arriving in fair supply and 

 'lie demand has taken it up at good 

 'irices. Carnations sold Monday, May 

 10, at $7 per hundred and continued at 

 his price the whole week. Roses also 

 Have found a ready market and are de- 

 'iianding even better prices than they 

 lid for Mothers' day.

GILT-EDOED INVESTMENTS. 



When you have capital to invest, you 

 want to put it where it will be safe and 

 at the same time get results. And the 

 bigger the results are in proportion to 

 your outlay, the better you like it. The 

 Classified ads of The Review work fast, 

 they work hard and they work till they 

 have done the job. Sometimes, even 

 then, they keep on working and give 

 additional returns each year. No won- 

 der they're called gilt-edged. Here's 

 one record of it: 



I am pnclosiiig herewith my olieck for $4.50 to 

 cover your statements. This little amount seems 

 small compared with my returns in sales. 



Advertisements in Tlie Review I have always 

 found to be the best (.'ilt-edged investments that 

 money can buy. From a little coleus ad run in 

 the Classifled section three or four years ago I 

 have been able to sell out clean each season from 

 repeat orders from that one ad. These orders 

 would total many dollars. — C. E. Majors, Denl- 

 son, Tex., May 10, 1920. 



If you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of money 

 elsewhere than in The Review. 



ANOTHER SELF-SEBVE STAND. 



Readers of The Review remember the 

 article on the self-serve stand for 

 flowers used by W. J. Palmer & Son, of

 ber 18, 1919. The Philadelphia Retail

Mention The Review when you write. 



Public Ledger, in its May issue, had the 

 following article about a similar inno- 

 vation in use in El Paso, Tex. 



FLOWERTERIA IN EL PASO. 

 PROVES POPULAR. 



I>ettlng the public make its own choice of 

 flowers and pay for them by dropping coins In 

 a box at the entrance of a pergola Inside the 

 store has singled out the Elite Pharmacy for 

 a reputation of doing the unusual thing. 



The pergola Is situated at one side of the store 

 and has an overgrowth of crimson ramblers with 

 artificial vines, among which are dozens of small 

 tubes filled with water, holding roses and season- 

 able flowers. At the entrance of the pergola Is 

 a card which reads : 



"Don't you want a buttonhole or corsage 

 bouquet? Pick a rose or a cluster of them from 

 our luxuriant shrubbery and place 26 cents Id 

 the coin box for each flower you take."
