of the largest fall flower show ever held 

 at St. Louis, the meeting adjourned. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club will be held at the estab- 

 lishment of the Bourdet Floral Co., 

 Thursday, December 8, at 2 p. m. The 

 officers have arranged for an interesting 

 program, as this is the last meeting in 

 this year. Refreshments and a special 

 brand of cigars have been arranged for 

 by the trustees. 



Secretary Deutschmann, of the County 

 Growers' Association, says that the next 

 meeting of the association, December 7, 

 will be held at the Eleven Mile House at 

 8 p. m. There should be a large attend- 

 ance, as the Thanksgiving business and 

 the Christmas supply will come up for 

 a general discussion. 



Frank and Vincent Gorly say that 

 they never had so much business in 

 years past at Thanksgiving time as 

 they have enjoyed this year. Enormous 

 quantities of mums, violets and roses 

 were sold, thanks to the big advertise- 

 ments of the flower growers' publicity 

 association. Mullanphy Florists, the 

 Tubbesing-Ayres Floral Co., F. J. Foster, 

 the Acme Floral Co., Riossen Floral Co., 

 George Berner and T. Carr all say that 

 this Thanksgiving day was the best in 

 years. 



The Faust coming-out party was one 

 of the largest society events in years 



The Tight Nut 

 That Strips The Threads 



You can tighten a nut just so tight, and it will stay 



tight. 



If you tighten it any tighter, it gets looser. 



It strips the threads. 



You can cut your expenses down just so far and keep 

 down expense. 



If you cut them down further, you boost them up 

 higher; you strip the thread. 



Just for example — you can stop your advertising be- 

 cause business is poor. 

 Which will only make it still poorer. 

 Or when business is down , you can boost your adver- 

 tising up and make it make more business for you. 



Grandy of Norfolk, Virginia, says that's his way. 



Anderson of Lebanon, Tennessee, says that's why he 



gave away those boxes of cigarettes at the Toronto 



F. T. D. lunch. 



It's why I have just signed up for a bigger contract 



than ever with the Falls Service. 



It may be why our F. T. D. business is about twice 



what it was last year or any other year. 



We didn't strip the thread. 



All of which may or may not hold a hint.

and the floral and other decorations by 

 Julius Schacffer came close to the $5,000 

 mark. The next event of the kind will 

 be the McBride coming-out party. 

 Grimm & Gorly have the contract for 

 all the decorations, wlfich, they say, will 

 reach $10,000. 



The west end florists make just as 

 favorable reports about Thanksgiving. 

 J. "Witek's new store was ablaze with 



fine quality stock in plants and cut 

 mums. Fred C. Weber, Sander 's, F. H. 

 Weber and Julius Schaeffer made 

 wonderful displays and passed last 

 year's mark. Waldbart's, Newman 

 Floral Co. and the Koenig Floral Co. ex- 

 perienced a fine Thanksgiving business. 

 From the north and south end came 

 glorious reports about the day's busi- 

 ness. Windier 's Flowers, C. Bergstcr-
