J. A. Evans, Eichmond, Ind., was a 

 caller September 23. He left home 

 June 23 and has made the swing around 

 the Pacific coast. Mr. Evans went west 

 via the southern route and is keen for 

 Houston as the next 8. A. F. conven- 

 tion city, believing it will put the so- 

 ciety and the trade exhibitors in touch 

 with a lot of people who have not yet 

 been seen. He is boosting Denver for 

 the 1917 convention. 



Members of the Chicago trade were 

 visited this week by E. J. Fancourt, of 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia. 



An interested and alert visitor on 

 the Chicago market last week was J. G. 

 Crozer, of Cedar Rapids, la. 



William P. Craig, representing the 

 Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, Sun- 

 dayed in this city. 



Louis Turner, of Kenosha, Wis., is 

 not a frequent visitor, so his presence 

 in the market this week is worthy of 

 special note. He reports good business 

 and was buying stock. 



OBAND BAPIDS, MICH. 



Tlie Market. 



With the arrival of true fall weather 

 — warm days and cool nights — business 



improvement. 



has shown a marked 



A WIBE FROM HEADQUABTEBS. 



"You not only spoil one floral 

 piece when you use a poor Wire De- 

 sign, but- that one poor piece may 

 make a buyer stop trading at our 

 store," said the old man. The con- 

 versation, at this point, was inter- 

 rupted by the entrance of two well 

 dressed women. "No, Mrs. Jones," 

 said the younger to her friend, "I 

 won't buy from Blank, The Florist, 

 again. Did you happen to go to the 

 Stones' funeral?" 



"Yes, I was there." 



"Well, did you see that large 

 standing Wreath of Pink Roses, 

 placed in the corner of the room 

 behind th«» casket?" 



•'Yes, why?" 



"Our club paid $45.00 for that 

 Wreath. Well, Mr. Blank selected 

 some beautiful pink Roses, with 

 which all of us were very much 

 pleased. I don't know how many 

 were used, but Mr. Blank assured 

 us that they were of the best qual- 

 ity, and they looked it. When the 

 Wreath arrived at the Stones' home 

 it was sagging down on one side, 



simply awful. It was practically 

 impossible to stand it up. 



"It doesn't make any difference 

 what quality of flowers are used, if 

 the piece won't stand up the whole 

 effect is spoiled. I came here, be- 

 cause I am disgusted with the work 

 Mr. Blank turns out." 



After the two women had placed 

 their order and left, the old man 

 continued his conversation with the 

 store manager. 



"Did you hear that? It proves 

 my point. I tell you, you can't af- 

 ford to use a poor grade of Wire 

 Work, too much depends upon it. 



"If you place an order for the 

 season 's requirements with Kenni- 

 cott Bros., you can get rock bottom 

 prices and, at the same time, be 

 assured of a high standard of 

 quality. ' ' 



Do you appreciate the soundness 

 of the old man's judgment? If yon 

 do, the opportunity is open to you. 

 Special contract prices will be quo- 

 ted upon application. Address Ken- 

 nicott Bros. Co., 163 N. Wabash 

 Av., Chicago.
