A Wire for Florists 



"Young man, don't let me catch you buying Wire Designs here and there, all over 

 the Chicago market, in the future," said the old man, pounding the buyer's desk. 



"Well, it doesn't seem to me of such great importance where I buy," argued the 

 buyer; "all of the houses make practically the same discount." 



" Yes, but stop and think. Compare the list prices of Kennicott Bros. Company and 

 those of other concerns." 



The buyer turned to the wholesale florists' catalogues on his desk (as you should 

 take time to do). After a careful perusal, he looked up at the old man and, smiling sheep- 

 ishly, said : " I guess you're right. Kennicott's seems to be lower in list prices than most 

 of the oth^r houses," 



" Moreover," said the old man, " I want to warn you against letting the price ques- 

 tion blind you to the fact that you are going to make up these designs into floral pieces. 

 To make certain that your piece will stand up, when weighed down by moss, leaves and 

 flowers, you must use Wire Work of good quality. 



" No house has Wire Designs that can compare in quality with those manufactured 

 in the Kennicott shop. They are no more- in the larger pieces even less— expensive than 

 inferior Designs. 



"I tell you. boy. let Kennicott Bros. Company know how much Wire Work we'll 

 need this year— they will give you the special contract price." 



"Yes, sir." said the buyer, with haste. 



"And, my boy, don't be afraid of finding any 'con ' in Kennicott's contracts." 



The old man was right, as usual, aud the moral is this: "Try. then 

 buy"; don't "buy, then try."

I Old Mexico | 



The Mexicans use crude ox carts 3 



with heavy, solid wooden wheels and S 



no turntables. S 



When the stolid oxen plod around s 



a comer or bend of the road, the S 



cart, instead of rounding the turn S 



easily and smoothly, is dragged S 



around to the direction the oxen go. S 



The clumsy, heavy cart, in its 5 



jerky turn, scrapes and tears up the j; 



earth, whereupon, when dire neces- H 



siiy compels, the Mexicans proceed B 



to repair the road. «- 



For centuries they have been re- a 



pairing roads instead of changing g 



their ox carts. ^ 



"Yes," a man from Tennessee ad- S 



mitted yesterday, "more than one — 

 florist handles poor stuff and then 

 tries to repair his customers' feel- 

 ings instead of changing the kind 



of flowers he sells." s 



If you seek a dependable cut S 



flower service, try Randall's. S 



Fair prices and dependable ship- 5 



ments. Cut flower price lists mailed S 



regularly if you'll send name and S 



address. ^
