It is a most significant fact 

 that for the year 1908 our 

 business shows another 

 very substantial increase 



THE FACT IS THE MORE REMARKABLE 



when it is taken into consideration that 1908 was an off year — a year in which almost 

 all wholesale florists went backward. 



It speaks for the solid foundation underlying our progress that in the off year 

 — the year of money panic, of idle factories, of protracted drought ; the year that

accumulated 1158 degrees excess heat, the presidential 

 year, the year that all records were lowered save those 

 of business failures — our own sales made another 

 increase — an increase over 1907, the year that stands 

 as the record in the flower business. We feel this 

 splendid achievement is a matter of public interest 

 R^r^iiici^ every buyer of cut flowers should 

 OCCctUbC ^igji to know WHY our sales increase 

 so steadily year after year, through good times and bad. 

 Our success is founded on two factors : 

 1st. Strictest business integrity and best business 

 methods. 



2d. By concentrating our energies on selling cut 

 flowers only, we are able to handle each consignment 

 so carefully that every flower not only goes out in the 

 best possible condition, but actually in better condi- 

 tion than when received from the growers. 



Our Facilities for 1909 



are greater than ever. Our policy of business-building has 

 gained for us the support of a list of growers in which we take 

 the greatest pride — good growers, one and all. Our present sup- 

 ply is the greatest in our history, the average quality the best, 

 and our store force adequate to give new customers the kind of 

 service that has held the old.
