A Plant Clearing House. 



Now tliat the present season is (dos- 

 ing, will have actually closed as these 

 lines are read, there has been one more 

 tlian usually important cliange in tlie 

 business life of the city, a cdiange that 

 has come during the last year. Perliajis 

 it would be more correct to state that it 

 has come during the last three years, but 

 it is during tlie year just (dosing tiiat 

 this change has made itself felt most 

 strongly. I refer to the plant depart- 

 ment of the S. S. Pennock-Meelian Co., 

 as it is run by Charles U. Liggit. 



I do not know how many sellers or 

 how many buyers have ])rofited by this 

 plant clearing house under Mr. Liggit 's 

 management, but I do know tliat tlie 

 number must be extra large. Every day 

 for montlis plants have been arriving at

 Visitors sometimes ask ^ir. Liygit 

 whether this or tliat Idock of plants is 

 tlie same one that was seen tiiere the 

 week before, and whether tlie jilants are 

 for sale. Mr. Liggit always replies 

 tiiat they are a fresh lot of plants that 

 have just come in and that they are 

 going out ininiediat(dy to fill an order. 

 The success of this jilant clearing 

 house is due to two things. It meets 

 a real need in the llower community 

 and it is well run. Often a Imyer 

 would buy, a seller would sell, were the 

 o]>portunity offered. The Pennock- 

 ^leelian Co. supplies this ojtpoi'tunity.

Mr. Liggit is exceedingly well 

 efpiijiped for his work — a thorough 

 knowledge of the market, careful, sys- 

 tematic attention to details, and a quiet 

 manner that inspires confidence, all 

 combined to create business.
