rather than at points nearer the center 

 of the house. 



While a 60-horsepower, or even a 50- 

 horsepower boiler, with a large grate and 

 frequent firing, would heat the houses 

 to the temperatures desired, it will be 

 more economical if a boiler rated at 

 seventy horsepower is used.

featured and, in every instance, atten- 

 tion was called to the fact that pric'fes 

 would not be raised for Mothers' day. 

 A number of retailers also carried simi- 

 lar advertising in their own advertise- 

 ments. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. notes an 

 increase in business over last year's 

 shipping activities. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop developed 

 an attractive telegraph delivery win- 

 dow for the early part of Mothers' day 

 week. A large globe in white and green, 

 about six feet in diameter, revolved in 

 the back of the window, while poles and 

 bright copper wire ran along the sides 

 to the front corner, where a telegraph 

 instrument and a typewriter stood. 

 Placards calling attention to the value 

 of the service the F. T. D. is in a posi- 

 tion to offer was set in among the sug- 

 gestions of baskets and cut flowers. 



A. B. Matthiesen reports that he has 

 been unable to cut enough carnations 

 to keep pace with the demand for stock. 



McCoy's has enjoyed a fine run of 

 funeral work and the attractive window 

 displays have served to increase the de- 

 mand for corsages and cut flowers. 



A general rearrangement of the dis- 

 ])lay window at the Pinehurst Floral 

 Shop has been effected, and some new 

 combinations have been worked out 

 through the use of a large wail mirror. 

 Benjamin del Fante, until recently with 

 the Orpheum ?"'loral Co., is now attached 

 to the staff of this shop. 



Business at the Hon Marclie flower 

 shop has shown enough of an increase 

 to require an addition to the sales force, 

 according to Irving Harris. A part of 

 the Mothers' day di8]ilay of this dcpart- 

 u'cnt store was given over to flowers.
