Self -watering 

 Flower Boxes 



The Opinion of 

 CONARD & JONES CO. 



'4/22/1916. 

 IlliDOis Flower Box Co., 

 180 H. Dearborn Street. 

 Chicago. 111. 



Gentlemen : Seven years ago the pos- 

 sible value of the Illinois Self - Watering 

 Flower Boxes appealed to us. They had 

 just come on the market. We tried them 

 out, satisfied ourselves beyond question 

 as to their value, placed an order for a 

 carload: have since then not only been 

 distributing them widely, recommending 

 them to our customers, but using them 

 ourselves about our homes, inside and 

 out, and after a period of seven years of 

 use under all conditions we are not sur- 

 prised that the Five-year Guarantee that 

 goes with them has brought none of our 

 customers back to get a box replaced 

 because of leakage, or being unsatisfac- 

 tory in any other respect. 



They induce strong root growth and 



5 reduce uniformly luxurious results, 

 hey please customers and help make 

 more trade. We And it essential to main- 

 tain a good stock of them at all times. 

 Sincerely yours, 

 Thk Conard & Jones Co. 

 Robert Pyle, Pres.
