Look at this photo! See what Godfrey Aschmann, the Araucaria King^, will do to favor his 

 customers. He wants to make you a Christmas present and for the holiday trade he will charge you only 

 half price on his Araucarias, and, as in photo, when the tree is cut its branches will sob and 

 droop, so shall his prices when slaughtered one half. This is your last chance to buy Araucarias at 

 ONE-HALF PRICE. 



Can't be Helped, down they go. Why, we have houses full of the choicest and lead the 

 country in Araucarias. Have been in the lead in the past and am in the lead now and shall be in the 

 lead in the future. 



He is Boss. Who is Boss ? The man that makes a specialty of a certain thing and 

 can give you 100 per cent more in value is boss. Don't you believe this? If not, make the experiment 

 Try somewhere else and be convinced of facts and see what an immense bargain is offered to you in our 

 specialty, that so well-known and admired decorative novelty Araucaria Ezcelsa. To make it 

 possible for everybody to buy one of this evergreen Christmas novelty to glitter in their houses for 

 Christmas, we decided to cut the prices in half, so low that it will beat the world's record and people will 

 say Godfrey Aschmann must have lost his reason. He will quote you an Araucaria as big as an elephant, 

 for 50c to 60c; a jumbo for 75c to $1.00 and a holy terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50.
