Besults bring advertising. 

 The Review brings resuSs. 



Olean, N. Y. — E. A. Llewellyn reports 

 that, despite the alleged panic, his sales 

 December 16 to 28, 1907, exceeded his 

 sales in the corresponding two weeks of 

 1906 by nearly sixty per cent. His sales 

 for the year 1907 show an increase of 

 about thirty-three per cent. This, he 

 says, would be very encouraging, if 

 wholesale prices had not been so high, 



but the retailer has not been able to dis- 

 pose of his stock at a corresponding ad- 

 vance in price. 



Richmond, Ind. — The Gift Floral Co. 

 had a good Christmas trade, better than 

 in 1906. Everything was sold out clean, 

 and more cut flowers could have been dis- 

 posed of. Prices were about the same. 

 Less holly was handled than formerly.
