been of quality and reliability, rather 

 than of price. But in spite of P. T. 

 Bamum's celebrated assertion that the 

 public likes to be humbugged, people 

 wake up sooner or later to the fact 

 that low prices mean low quality in 

 the end; they do not like to be hum- 

 bugged along the same line all the time. 

 It is not hard to convince buyers whose 

 previous purchases of stock have not 

 come up to their expectations that the 

 expenditure of a little more money 

 would have proved a greater saving in 

 the end. The way to put the business 

 on a permanently profitable basis is, 

 therefore, to educate the buying pub- 

 lic to an appreciation of the value, 

 financial and otherwise, of first-rate 

 quality and of reliability. The buyers 

 must be made to forget the phrases of 

 the irresponsible sellers whose sole idea 

 was to get money while they had the 

 chance, without a thought to the good 

 of their business or their fellow- 

 tradesmen's business in after years. 

 Make quality the first consideration of 

 the public, not price. 



Various steps have been taken in this 

 direction and one of the best is the usel 

 of the reading columns of the various' 

 agricultural papers throughout the 

 country. An article entitled "First- 

 class Nursery Stock, " by J. W. Stuben- 

 rauch, the nurseryman of Mexia, Tex., 

 which appeared in Farm and Eanch, an 

 agricultural journal of Texas, for July 

 25, was an effort along this line. The 

 opening statement, that " 'strictly first- 

 class' trees could not be produced and 

 sold at current prices of nowadays and 

 leave the nurseryman any profit what- 

 ever," serves as a text for a sermon
