in 1914. It took a big slice out of his 

 pile to pay for that stock, so Samuel 

 grew it carefully and well. He stayed 

 home all summer and had the plants i(i 

 tiptop condition by fall. When Octo- 

 ber came he began cutting the flowers 

 quite freely, expecting to realize on his 

 investment. The returns from his 

 commission house were so small that it 

 seemed probable that it would take all 

 winter to pay for the plants, to say 

 nothing of labor, coal or interest. So 

 Sam put on his coat and went to town 

 to investigate. At his wholesaler's 

 the salesmen were blue. "Things are 

 not as they used to wuz," was the 

 burden of their cry. Just them Sam's 

 principal competitor came in quite 

 chirpy. When asked about the nov- 

 elty he said that he was satisfied with 

 the price this same wholesaler was re- 

 turning him. He named the price. It 

 was even lower than Sam was getting. 

 The stock, he said, was grown for 

 quantity rather than quality. He then 

 asked Sam to get in his car and come 

 out and see the plants. Wonderingly, 

 Sam complied. After a pleasant ride 

 they saw some excellent plants of the 

 novelty. Nevertheless Sam was confi- 

 dent they were no better than he had 

 at home, if as good. Now, Sam wants 

 to know, how can you get a car when 

 a novelty is selling far, far below costf 

 The only answer, Sam thinks, lies in 

 keeping down expenses.
