 Wachendorff Bros., Atlanta, are, as 



usual, to the front with a line lot of 

 carnations and chrysanthemums, in the

 the downtown stores. Remarkable prog-

 Three Foley houses, planted early, are

 each other when necessity demands. The 

 Russell establishment consists of seven 

 acres of excellent land and more glass

A Grip Story 

 That Has A Grip 



There recently appeared an advertisement in Printers' Ink, 

 that kind o' set me to thinking. After which I stopped 

 thinking, and commenced acting. 



It seems the president of that company was passing through 

 the Pennsylvania Station in New York, on his way to Chicago. 

 He was met by the usual number of red cap porters, who 

 offered to carry his grip. 

 He refused them all, saying he "needed the exercise." 



Finally, just as he reached the gateway, and but a few steps 

 from the train, a wide-awake porter held out his hand, and 

 said: "Boss, I can carry your grip right on the train." 



He gave him the grip before he had time to think, that so 



could the other porters carry it on the train. 



When he sat down in his seat, started to figure out how that 



fellow got his grip and quarter. 



Concluded it was because the others had simply offered their 



services; but the last one had told what his services 



would do for him. 



It set me to wondering if we florists don't do a power of just 

 offering, and a scant amount of telling what flowers will do? 

 Don't we leave them to do too much of the selling talk? 

 Flowers can be sold by real selling, just like anything else. 

 Let's exchange ideas on the subject.

 to those of the craft above the line
