The Florists^ Review

Here is a True Canadian's Idea 

 of a Show House 



U. \j. 1)111111 is liiw iiaiiic. 



St. CatliJiriiifS, Onlarid, is his localion. 



(Jrowcr and tlnrist, his vocation. 



.lokiiiK- liis friends and ^''ttiii^r liinistir ufiu'ially 



liked is his jtastime. 



lie is one of those fortunate chaps whose Inisiness 



and his iiome are liKlil in tlie one sjiot. 



At the back are the two idpe frame houses and con- 

 necting lean-to we lirst hiiilt for- him. and then comes 

 a wide irrm franier. 



This sliow housi' is leall.v more like a liiK shciw 

 window. Itut no matter what il is liki-. it sells 

 llowers. 



Mr. Iiunn liKUred out that a sliow house looking sliow 



window. Would attract a lot more interest than a 



siiow window ttiat was just a show window. 



llis hank account shows that it shows up as he 



liKureil il would. 



The idea is as new as il is rio\el. 



Just to prove to you that he didn't make the mistake 

 of having- all the show on the front, we took a photo 

 of this attractive little casement window, whicli 

 catches your eye the minute you open the door. 

 Besides bein« attractive, however, it sells not only 

 tlowers, but baskets and vases. 



Sells them, because it looks so homey like, that the 

 women folks just can't help wantihf^ something id 

 the same look in their home. 



Sometimes wonder, if florists don't doll their shojis 

 HI) so much that the real purpose of their shops is 

 not somewhat lost. 



After all, simplicity — ^the right kind of simiilicity — 

 is always effeitive. Always satisfying. 



Just naturally we would like to build for you either 

 a sliow-hoiise-show-window, or a show house. 

 Which shall it lie'.' 

 I>et's talk it o\ er together.
