Save 10% to 20"% on Greenhouses 



"We Understand 

 Our Business 

 Thoroughly" 



Our thorough knowledge of the finer points in greenhouse 

 construction enables us to save that much on the cost of 

 our output— and we are eiving you the benefit of this savioK. 

 We have always given 100 cents value for every dollar— 

 sometimes more. As we have never yet had any com- 

 plaints, we lose nothing by guaranteeing our ma- 

 terial against defects. 



yiflllens Personal Service

 rected by one of the Willens'. If ive do the

 account on a mutually profitable basis 

 and will ask you to send us your remit- 

 tance by return mail." This letter, of 

 course, would vary in every business. 



Fifteen days after this notice has 

 gone forth we send out the following 

 letter: 



You have evidently ignored our communication 

 In regard to your account. Such inattention does 

 not tend to the establishment of your credit and 

 causes us unnecessary expense and inconvenience. 



We have allowed your account to run beyonil 

 our usual terms, which make all bills due and 

 payable on the tenth of the month followinK 

 date of invoice. We have attempted to be lenient 

 in your case, expecting that you would show us 

 the consideration that is due us. 



As we have had no complaint from you as to 

 the quality of our goo<ls, or as to the service 

 which we have rendered, we can only conclude 

 that both of these have been entirely satisfac- 

 tory and that we are entitled to an immediate 

 remittance. 



Regretting that we have been forced to Insist 

 •n this matter, we remain, etc. 



Fifteen days after this last notice 

 has gone out the matter is brought to 

 the attention of the credit man and the 

 case receives personal attention. At 

 any time that the customer communi- 

 cates with us we enter into personal

The Net Besult. 



We have, of course, had some com- 

 plaints on this method of collecting, 

 but they have been few and the net 

 result has been that we have seventy- 

 five per cent less overdue accounts on 

 our books than we had a year ago, that 

 our collection expenses have been re- 

 duced materially, that we have had to 

 borrow considerably less money from 

 the bank than in former years and that 

 today the number of notices that we 

 are called upon to send out is compara- 

 tively small. In other words, our cus- 

 tomers have become educated to the 

 fact that if they do not pay we are go- 

 ing to get after them and stay after 

 them until they do. On the other hand, 

 we have found that many of our cus- 

 tomers have requested that we give 

 them a set of our collection notices and 

 letters to use on their customers and 

 are doing a better and cleaner busi- 

 ness as a result; that lots of them are 

 actually thanking us for the benefit we 

 have done them rather than censur- 

 ing us. 



THE EMERGENCY REVENUE LAW. 



Members of the trade who sell on 

 commission are due, July 1, to pay the 

 government the second installment of 

 the revenue tax imposed by the so- 

 called emergency revenue law. The 

 payment this time will be $10, for 

 half a year, as by its provisions the 

 emergency revenue law will expire 

 December 31, 1915, so that the forth- 

 coming second payment of the special 

 taxes will be the last, unless Congress 

 at the next regular session should ex- 

 tend the life of the law. If the law is
