The Florists' Review 



July 3, 1913: 



shops, and to do their part in upbuild- 

 ing the common welfare of their com- 

 munity. 



They Looked Prosperous. 



Since that time, three other conven- 

 tions have been held, and I have been 

 informed that the last convention was 

 attended by a large number of men, 

 who wore much better clothing than 

 those who attended the first convention. 

 I have' also been informed that the aver- 

 age increase in cost on a certain job of 

 work has not been more than ten per 

 cent. In the opinion of men who ought 

 to know, the class of work now being 

 turned out is at least forty per cent 

 nearer perfection than it was before the 

 first convention of employing printers. 

 If this statement is true, a great deal 

 of waste has been done away with, be- 

 cause every one of us knows that the 

 work we received from the printer ten 

 years ago was miserable, and we often 

 wondered why .-people bought goods 

 from us when we sent them such poorly 

 printed literature. 



If we are going to do our part in 

 putting the seed business on a higher 

 plane and giving more efficient service 

 to the public, it will be necessary for 

 every man connected with it to give 

 freely of his experience. Service given 

 freely is always returned from seven to 

 ten fold; service given sparingly is 

 sparingly returned. Service counts for 

 almost everything that is desirable, and 

 when given in such a manner as to bene- 

 fit a general line of busines, the giver 

 is surely going to receive much more 

 benefit than he gave.
