 Illinois Flower Box Co., 180 M. D^artiorn 

 Street, Chicago. 111. 

 Gentlemen : Seven years ago the pos- 

 sible value of the Illinois Self- Watering 

 Flower Boxes appealed to us. Thpy bad 

 just come on the market. We tried them 

 out, satisfied ourselves beyond question 

 as to their value, placed an o>der 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 

 produce uniformly luxurious results. 

 They please customers and help make 

 more trade. We find it essential to main-, 

 tain a good stock of them at all times. 

 Sincerely yours. 

 Thk Conari) & Jones Co. 

 Robert Pyle. Pres.
