Mutual Good 



No business can permanently prosper 

 which fails to recognize that its prosper- 

 ity must be gained by contribution to the 

 prosperity of others. The greatest busi- 

 ness institutions in the world serve the 

 interests of their customers just as con- 

 scientiously as they serve their own. In 

 the sale of Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs 

 the same principle applies— the benefit 

 derived is mutual. You get a profit from 

 the good value of the bulbs, and we get a 

 profit for our services in securing them 

 for you. The only difference is that the 

 grower's profit is a much larger per cent, 

 if he knows how to handle the article. 

 There is a large margin of profit in grow- 

 ing lily bulbs, and especially so if a flo- 

 rist can use the flowers at retail. In this 

 connection we may also say that just how 

 large the margin is depends upon cir- 

 cumstances, the most important of which 

 is that Horseshoe Brand lily bulbs be 

 used. Prices very reasonable— deliveries 

 any time. Write for a Planting Table, 

 showing when to plant Cold Storage bulbs 

 for seasonable flowers.
