 business with pleasure, as she visited 

 Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Washburn. 



T. E. Waters comments on the big 

 sale for pine cones; the retailers are 

 using them extensively for wreaths 

 and in baskets of ruscus and boxwood. 

 Some of the Rocky mountain cones are 

 a foot or more in length. 



In its issue of October 29 The Re- 

 view gave notice that commission 

 houses would be taxed $20 under the 

 new revenue law going into effect De- 

 cember 1, but nearly all put it off until 

 the afternoon of November 30, when 

 they joined the line-up at the collec- 

 tor's office. Beginning December 1 the 

 shipper was required to affix a penny 

 revenue stamp every time he took an 

 express company's receipt, but the 

 stamps could not be procured.

The flower show at the County build-

Charles Erne, ot Erne & Klingel, says 

 the retailers have the Christmas busi- 



in their own hands. His idea is 

 the florist who wins must: (1) 



(2) make a show; (3) ad- 



ness 

 that 



stock up; 

 vertise. 



It is the duty of every jobber and 

 wholesaler to encourage the retail trade 

 to prepare for a big Christmas, accord- 

 ing to Frank M. Johnson, of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., who points out, what 

 everybody will recognize as a fact, that 

 a big holiday business can not be 

 achieved without ample preparation.
