 numerous. 



A. W. Stollery, son of George Stollery, 

 has entered a partnership to engage 

 in the delivery of parcels for north side

 first to adopt the new title given to the 

 north shore business district from Wil- 

 son to Argyle. 



Last week 100 business men on the

ALWAYS THE 



APPRECIATION 



INNOVATORS 



We have a pardonable sense of satisfaction in the 

 public announcement of our good friends, Poehlmann 

 Bros, Co., that they have been using, /or a year, a 

 price list of Roses giving prices by inches. 



Those who have received our price list know that pric- 

 ing Roses by inches was an innovation which we de- 

 vised more than four years ago, and have advocated 

 ever since. 



Our Vice-President, Mr. Kohout, having observed the 

 use of this system for so long, realizes its advantages 

 and spoke with authority when he publicly advocated 

 its general adoption. 



We trust and have always believed that this rational 

 system will ultimately be the standard price list form.
