 Up and 



Gives a Happy » 

 Talk 



[rSlF all the happy things that hap- 

 ls24 pen to a man, what can be a 

 happier happening than to have paid 

 your good money for a greenhouse 

 and have it make you throw out 

 your chest with pride every time 

 you see it? 



As unsentimental as business is, 

 still there is an undeniable money 

 value in a feeling of satisfaction 

 that you made a good buy and got 

 full value in what you bought. 



Any man^'ho doesn't feel that 



way about anything he buys from 

 us, we would like to know about it. 



If there is one thing more than 

 another we want to have, it is the 

 pleasure of pleasing you, as well as 

 the hardest man there is to please. 

 If anyone can please, we can. You 

 can always depend on depending on 

 Hitchings. 



We go any lenisth within reason 

 to satisfy a customer and "we go 

 anywhere for business."
