WHOLESALE FLORISTS

CHICAGO, ILL. 





- i;; GEE,WHIZI 



Since going to press with the outside 

 form of this week's Review, containing, 

 on page 235, the advertisement of poin- 

 settias of C. W. Beimers, Louisville, Ky., 

 we are in receipt of the following letter 

 from Mr. Reimers: 



Gee, whir! Take my ady. out of your paper. 

 The florists took to it as the bankers did to 

 Mra. Ctiadwick. 



'The Louisville news letter this week 

 says that Mr. Reimers has three whole 

 • houses of poinsettias for Christmas de- 

 livery. 



VHCS YOUR COAL MAN ? 



The REViEiy has felt that the wholesale 

 dealers in coal were overlooking an op- 

 portunity to do business by not adver- 

 tising in this paper. We are confident 

 that it will pay them because we believe 

 they can offer better prices, more uni- 

 r form quality, etc., than can the local coal 

 dealers. 



W. S. Hal-man, 303 Dearborn street, 

 Chicago, from whom the J. D. Thompson 

 Carnation Co. and a number of other 

 florists buy their coal, has given us an 

 order for an advertisement to see if we 

 are right that the Retview will prove his 

 best salesman. The advertisement ap- 

 pears for the first time in this issue. 

 Mr. Harman sells several grades of bi- 

 tuminous coal in car lots and up. To 

 those who are in the market for coal 

 it is suggested that they get his prices 

 for comparison with those of their local 

 dealers. Then it is up to Mr. Harman. 



As a trade paper the Review is second 

 to none and I don't want to miss an 

 issue of it. — Feank Mokaison, St. f lairs- 

 ville, O. 



You may discontinue my advertisement 

 of cyclamen; have sold out and could 

 have sold as many more. — S. M. Habbi- 

 SON, Danville, Ky.
