 urer, L. M. King; secretary, C. A. Burn-

 the John Bodger & Sons Co., Los An- 

 geles, Cal., in an oval stamp, which 

 reads, "Sell Bodger 's Seeds, and They 

 Will 'Say It with Flowers.' "

 shown in Seattle, Wash., recently, on the 

 occasion of the northwest buyers' week,

 deal of attention by installing an auto- 

 matic seed-filling and weighing machine 

 in its downtown store show window.
