with them. Every reason that is ad- 

 vanced is a good one. 



But, to go a step farther in this sub- 

 ject, I have not read of a single in- 

 stance where the reason given for Sun- 

 day closing was the Fourth Command- 

 ment. The nature of the business in 

 which he is engaged keeps the florist's 

 eyes ever on his Creator, and He, away 

 back in the beginning, saw fit to insti- 

 tute this day. This brings us to the 

 final analysis of the whole question: 

 Is it right or wrong to do business on 

 the Sabbath t And I am firmly con- 

 vinced that underlying all of the rea- 

 sons stated is the fundamental one that 

 it is wrong. Close on Sunday, because it 

 is right to close, and you cannot but 

 reap all of the other benefits. Tate. 



MAREY HEE WITH FLOWERS. 



An Example of Trade Growth. 



If a florist took on and developed 

 all the side lines and allied businesses 

 that his trade might lead him into, 

 there is no telling where he would stop, 

 for this business of growing and selling 

 flowers touches industry as a whole and 

 society as a whole at many different 

 points. Just as the United States Steel 

 Corporation has acquired coal and iron 

 mines, so certain large growers during 

 the recent coal shortage developed coal 

 mines on their own lands. Certain of 

 the large meat packers have inaugurated 

 subsidiary industries to give more 

 nearly constant employment to their 

 refrigerator cars and distributive ma- 



chinery; in somewhat similar fashion, 

 some growers have added stock farms 

 to their ranges to supply the necessary 

 manure. The examples could be multi- 

 plied indefinitely. 



D. Cupid's Delight. 



Passing to the retail type of busi- 

 ness, wo find that the various appen- 

 dices are either plain side lines, such as 



goldfish, canaries or pottery, or else 

 form what is known as consumers' serv- 

 ice. Examples of this outside the 

 trade are the rest rooms in department 

 stores, the "readers' service" of maga- 

 zines and the chapels of undertaking es- 

 tablishments. 



An interesting instance of consumers' 

 service within the trade is the marriage 

 shop, as h.e calls it, which W. A. Bo-
