Dear Sir:— We are interested in your Classified advertisement (3 lines, costing: 30c per week), offerlngr a single lot of 

 bulbs at 1600.00. It seems to us that a sale for $500.00 would justify a half-page advt., set in big type that couldn't be 

 overlooked. Half a page costs only $16.00. Hoping to be favored with your order, we are, 



Very truly yours, Flobists' Publishing Co,

Dear Sirs:— I note what you say in your letter of Oct. 22. It may interest you to know that the first insertion of the 

 80-cent Classified adv. brought inquiries from Iowa and Missouri, and several other points nearer. I am' sure I will do 

 business with some of them. This will not be the first large quantity of bulbs I have sold through small Classified 

 advertisements. I am pleased to say that all the Classuied advertiaements I have had In the Revle'w have 

 brouerht result* that were aatlafaotory. Very truly yours, 8. Huth.

 Mr. S. Huth, Cuyahoga Falls, O. 



Dear Sir:— We note your advertisement offering 200,000 gladiolus bulbs for $500.00 has not been renewed. We should 

 very much like to know if you succeeded in selling $600.00 worth of stock as a result of three insertions of a 80-cent 

 adv. in the Review. , Very truly yours. Florists' Publishing Co.

Dear Sirs:- Answering yours of the 13th. we did not sell quite all of the 200,000 lot, but sold enough of other grades to 

 those who answered the adv. to more than balance up. We also have promise of several nice orders for spring, and 

 inquiries are still coming. What we wanted was to move a lot of bulbs this fall, as we did not have room to store them. 

 Toward spring we will advertise again. Good stock, reasonable prices, fair tre atm ent and the Revle\ir 

 are a combination that does business. Very truly yours, 8. Huth. 



Cuyahoga Falls, O., Nov. 22, 1908.

Dear Sirs:— Answering your inquiry of November 20, certainly you can use what we say. The Revle\e has al^rays 

 done so w^ell for us that we take pleasure in doing what we can for it. Very truly yours, 8. Huth.
