 pairing broken glass. 



EYERTITE 



GLAZING CEMENT 



Applied easily, quickly and eco- 

 nomically with the new "Oh Boy" 

 automatic glazing gun. 



EVERTITE GLAZING CEMENT remains elastic at all times— forming a 

 waterproof and airtight joint over the sashbar. It will stand the extreme 

 expansion and contraction that a greenhouse is subject to and will not check or 

 crack — nor will it harden. It lasts from five to ten years.

 his death.

 in funeral work. He has been excep- 

 tionally busy of late and a good quan- 

 tity of stock has been moved.

 fourth time held a dollar dav special 

 sale Thursday, July 21. Practically all 

 of the flower stores participated and 

 offered ]ilants, baskets of cut floAvers 

 and all flowers at flollar prices. This

 ness in all lines. H. J. H.

were engaged in and some useful j)rizes 

 were presented to the winners, .\fter 

 this a ball game was ludd between the 

 wholesalers and retailers. It was an 

 enthusiastic game. There was d.-incing 

 from 4 until 7 o'clock, after which some 

 more s])orts were arranged. A number 

 of the florists went bathing. It is an. 

 ideal grove and, from all reports, every 

 person who attende(l this picnic is look- 

 ing forward to the picnic next year. 

 This naturally answers the question, 

 "Did you have a good time?" The 

 wholesale houses and many retail flo- 

 rists closed their stores at 1 p. m., giv- 

 ing their employees an opportunity to 

 participate in this outing. H. J. II.
