But the man w^orth while, is the man 'who will smile when everything^ g^es dead wrong." 



One had to be a philosopher to do much smiling in the season of 190S. But "there's a 

 good time coming" and "the sun is always shining somewhere." Browning said the real 

 man was "one who never turned his back, but marched, breast forward, never doubting 

 clouds would break, holding that we are baffled to fight better." So we look ahead 

 hopefully to the sure prosperity the future promises, with our eyes to the front, always. 

 "The habit of looking on the bright side of things is worth more than a large fortune." 

 "Don't worry over tomorrow; take care of today; tomorrow will take care of itself." Worry 

 is time wasted. The past is dead. "Let the dead and the beautiful rest." There is no 

 lasting foundation for any business that is not based on square dealing, liberality and fair 

 consideration of a customer's interests. On these cornerstones we have established our 

 business record and we are building higher every year.

 heart disease October 16. Mr. Harrison

 large Chevy Chase subdivision there. His 

 age was 42 and he was greatly esteemed 

 by all who knew him.

The Market. 



Business has increased lately, but not 

 to any great extent. A number of wed- 

 dings and funerals have kept things mov- 

 ing along about normal. We have not 

 had a killing frost yet, so there are some 

 outdoor flowers still in evidence. Boses 

 are plentiful, but carnations are scarce. 



Variotjs Notes. 



A visit to the Wm. Blackman Floral 

 Co. greenhouses showed everything in 

 fine shape. The dark pink, Ught pink 

 and white Enchantress are fine gro\<fth 

 and full of buds. A house of Beacon 

 is especially fine, with a great crop com- 

 ing on for Christmas. A field of carnfli- 

 tioqs outside is still producing nearly 

 1,000 blooms a day. A batcl^ of fine 

 stevia was noted.,, .Jhe- chrysanthemums 

 are excellent and show plenty of bloom. 

 A bench of Princess of Wales violets gives 

 promise of doing well. The roses are 

 showing up well also. Mr. Fischer, the 

 carnation man, is a great phonograph en-
