ARE YOU PROGRESSIVE? 



The best season for florists' baskets is here. At this time of the year, with 

 almost every cut flower or plant order an appropriate basket can be sold. 



This is the way the progressive florist doubles his profit.

The new broom will come into play

 of his firm. 



The Fleischman Floral Co. is reported 

 to have received $2,000 for a decoration 

 at the Blackstone hotel December 29
