EVANSVILIiE, IND. 



The last week has been a busy one 

 for all of the florists. Flowers are 

 scarce. This summer has broken all 

 records for continuous hot weather. The 

 rainfall is about five and one-half inches 

 short of normal. 



The body of James B. Glrcsham, an 

 Evansville boy and the first of all 

 American boys to lose his life in the 

 world war, arrived home last week and 

 was buried with military honors. Floral 

 pieces were many; among them was a 

 wreath sent by the President and Mrs. 

 Harding. Two other prominent people 

 to be buried were Henry Eeis, president 

 of the Old State bank, and James Dun- 

 levy, the chief of the Evansville fire 

 department. 



The opening July 16 of the now Vic- 

 tory theater and the Hotel Sountag also 

 caused a demand for flowers. 



Edgar Fenton, Jr., had his tonsils re- 

 niovod Saturday, July 23. E. L. F.

Say "It Paid for Itself 



The First Year" 



In every industry there are men 

 whose opinions whenever stated, 

 are at once taken as facts. 



They are taken as facts because 

 such men's opinions are always 

 based on facts. 



If they haven't the facts, they 

 haven't any opinion. 



So when Mr. Hess writes us that 

 they "would not be without the 

 Skinner System of watering and 

 that it paid for itself the first year," 

 it means exactly that. 



Just run over in your mind and 

 think how many things you have 

 bought that have paid for them- 

 selves right off the reel, the first 

 year. 



It doesn't take you long to find out 

 there are mighty few. For that 

 very reason, a lot of growers seem 



to kind of discount our pay-for- 

 itself-claims. 



The whole truth of the matter is, 

 that for just that reason we gener- 

 ally actually understate the facts. 

 When a man writes us he cut four 

 times a^ many asters as he ever 

 did before, we only say he doubled 

 or tripled his crop. 

 The mere fact that it pays for itself 

 the first year, means that if noth- 

 ing else, it at least is going to give 

 you back what it cost, in extra 

 profits every year. 

 It doesn't cost you anything the 

 first year. 



It makes you real money every 

 year afterwards. 



Say, friends — where can you beat 

 if? 



Send us the size of your ground at 

 once and let us suggest how to 

 start some of your good money 

 multiplying itself by itself.
