Ever Been Called 

 The Original Iceberg? '* 



Made you hopping mad, didn't it? 



Well, I'm not mad. Just sorry. Sorry somebody got us 

 mixed with somebody else. 



Here are the facts. 



The florist who called us that, came to New York, ex- 

 pecting to call- on us ; and going up Fifth Avenue, by 

 mistake, went into one of the most ultra of the ultra 

 flower shops. 



He was given such a chilly reception that he had to turn 

 up his coat collar to keep his ears from being frosted. 



He went back home and wrote us a letter, saying that 

 it might be all right for us to talk in our Ads. about my 

 $5 Hobby Box, but unless he had a fur coat, ear lappers 

 and felt boots, he would never dare come in our shop 

 again with less than $50 in his jeans. 



Of course, I promptly wrote him exactly what you 

 would have written him. 



Happy to say, back came a most cordial letter, saying 

 how "pleased he was to know that the Stumpp he thought 

 he knew by his Ads. was the very same Stumpp when you 

 got to know him." 



All of which reminds me what Suko the Jap says — "Ice, 

 Meester Stumpp, he very fine to keep the flower; but 

 he no good for to make much customer feel good when he 

 in come your shop."
