Our Platform 



Is AT THE OPENING of a CAMPAIGN, each great 

 political party declares its principles in a ^^ Platform/^ 

 so do we, at the approach of another season, make 

 known the position from which we shall seek the continued 

 support of the Trade. ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^ 



THE PAST. 



From an humble beginning, starting smaller than almost any wholesaler in Chicago 

 ever did start, we have built up in eight years of steady growth, a business which 

 warrants us in maintaining the largest and best equipped place in the city. 



By careful, conservative management we have worked our way to the front. 



We have taken good care of every flower shipped to us and earned the confidence 

 of our growers that we are at all times working for their interests. 



We have carefully studied the wants of our customers and proved to their satis- 

 faction that we can be relied on at all times to furnish anything that is to be had in this 

 market, and in addition we make SPECIAL EFFORTS to SUPPLY NOVELTIES 

 or SPECIALTIES NOT ALWAYS TO BE HAD ELSEWHERE. 



THE FUTURE. 



In the coming season we shall conduct our business along the same lines as here- 

 tofore. We shall stand on our record— but we shall push harder than ever. 



We shall have the stock — both quality and quantity — to do a larger business 

 than ever before. We have a strong force of the most experienced and efficient 

 employes, both in the selling and shipping departments, and they are fully alive to 

 the fact that YOUR interests are the interests of this house. 



We solicit the continued patronage of those who have been dealing with us, and 

 we ask for the business of those with whom we have not yet done business, on this 

 pledge : That in the future, as in the past, WE SHALL GIVE FAIR and SQUARE 

 TREATMENT TO EVERYONE WITH WHOM WE HAVE DEALINGS.
