The Market. 



t'oolcr wcatlicr has toned iiji Imsincss 

 ^(>nio\vli;it tlic last week ami stoi'k at 

 the wholesale markets showed liettev 

 quality. While extra prime stock is 

 still limited, there is an aVmndance ot' 

 anything seasonable to be had daily. 

 ]'rices are still low :ind the retailer 

 with a V)i<;- job on liis hands has had 

 things iirettv iiiiudi his own wav in 

 Iniyinjr. Several bar<,'ain sales adver- 

 tised by the downtown florists some- 

 what relieved the market of the j^reat 

 surplus that aceumulated daily, alter 

 the mornini,' sales were over. Several 

 good rains duriii}; the we(dc j,'ave frcsli 

 life to all (uitildor flowers. 



The oonsifiiuneiits ol' astirs lia\'e 

 U;riatly increased, wliile gladioli ha\e

 varieties and };rad(>s, especially in Co-

Can You Tell 

 When You 

 Sell A Man? 



Now honest, can you? 



You can tell when lie hiiij.^;. 



But can you tell when you have xoUl him? 



What made me ask was, that yesterday 

 in came a very stylishly dressed man 

 and wife, and bought a jolly good lot of 

 flowers for "a little dinner," as they ex- 

 pressed it. 



Just before leaving, the gentleman said: 

 "Do you know, Mr. Stumpp, how I came 

 to buy these flowers of you today? Did 

 it because you sold them to me six 

 months ago. You didn't know ichen you 

 sold 7ne—hut I did. 



"We only bought one of your $5 

 Hobby Boxes then, but the courtesy and 

 attention your salesman gave us, made 

 us feel like a million dollars. 

 "You never really know when you sell a 

 man. All you know is when he buys." 



After which, I called the boys together 

 and we had a little talk among ourselves 

 about courtesy; its money-making value.

There are still many llowcrs from out- 

 doors coming in, which have a good de- 

 mand, for use in window displays. 

 ^'alley and lilies hold their own in price. 

 as they are not in .'ibund.anoe. Asters 

 were in sneh great abiind;inc<' l;ist week 



that price- drop[u-d b.adly and buyers in 

 big lots made their own ])rice. In 

 greens the market w.as in good condi- 

 tion and th(> dem;uid consumed the sup- 

 jily ."ilmost daily; especially was this so 

 in asparagus and fancy ferns.
