PLUMB'S WINNING WAYS. 



The flower business has grown so fast 

 in Detroit, wliere tlie automobiles come 

 from, that only live men have been able 

 to keep up with the procession the last 

 few years. What, then, do you think 

 of the 12-cylincler efficiency of a man 

 like Charlie Plumb? He not only has 

 been able to keep up with the natural 

 growth of the business, but his capacity 

 so exceeds the demands made upon him 

 that he went so far this sitring as to 

 have a moving picture taken of the 



flowers growing in his greenhouses and 

 showed it for a week in a near-by pic- 

 ture theater. 



The moving picture was a great suc- 

 cess. It was taken about three weeks 

 before Easter and, if it did not actually 

 show the lilies growing, it showed the 

 growers growing lilies and the people 

 buying lilies of tlie growers. It is un- 

 derstood the film, which was of suf- 

 ficient length to require three minutes 

 for the showing, cost Mr. Plumb about 

 $90 and that he paid .$25 to have it 

 sliown in the theater once an hour for 

 a week. lie says it was the best adver- 

 tising he ever has done. 



Mr. Plumb also has an original way 

 of meeting the existing conditions in 

 the matter of help. After Easter he 

 liad several houses vacant. One of the 

 best of tliem he turned over to his em- 

 ployees and lie also gave them seed, soil 

 and everything else needed to grow a 

 big crop of tomato plants in 2i/^-inch 

 pots. The men are required to do all 

 the work in that house before and after 

 working hours, but all the sales of to- 

 mato plants arc credited to the men's 

 account. AVhcn the spring season is 

 over and all the tomato plants have been 

 sold the proceeds of that house will be 

 divided among the men. Of course it is 

 equivalent to a raise in wages, but it 

 has the decided advantage that no man 

 who has a share in the pool will quit his 

 job until after the spring rush is over; 

 otlierwise his share would be forfeited 

 to the men who remain. 



Latrobe, Pa. — J. Bohler, superin- 

 tendent of Idlewild park and owner of 

 a florists' business here, died last 

 month.
