The Florists^ Review 



45 



In the quality' of stock we are none too boastful when we assert that in this market there 

 is none better. Don't forget that. We stand ready to prove it at any time and a trial order is 

 the quickest means of putting our challenge to a test. Nevertheless we stand ready to back it up. 

 When you get sick and tired of the variation in the quality you are getting send us a standing 

 order for a few weeks and we will prove what we say is true to your complete satisfaction. Our 

 roses and gladioli are especially fine at present. In roses — all summer varieties — we have the 

 best. We are strong on American Beauties of the famous summer blooming qualities. You make 

 no mistake when you order Beauties of us. ^ , •-' 



Our New Store Affords Us Unlimited Space 



Since last spring we have been located in our new quarters at 30 E. Randolph St., where we 

 have established ourselves in the most modernly equipped store on the great central market. When 

 you come to Chicago we want you to drop in and see us and take note of the facilities we have 

 for handling an unlimited amount of business. We are especially well equipped to handle rush 

 shipping orders. Our business is increasing rapidly and as our supply is large we have a desire to 

 please. If you get in a pinch and need stock in a hurry, try us. Find out what Zech & Mann service 

 means. It means satisfaction to all concerned. 



When in Chicago don't forget to drop in and look over our new headquarters. It's four times 

 as large as the old place.
