The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 15, 1914. 



tomera and of ourselves. We do this 

 simply for the reason that our experi- 

 ence since the zone rates went into 

 effect has been entirely satisfactory to 

 us and, apparently, to our customers. 



"When a man gets a catalogue he 

 wants to know exactly what the goods 

 are going to cost him delivered at his 

 post-office. He does not, even for the 

 sake of saving a few cents, want to 

 work out an extended problem in arith- 

 metic before he knows what the goods 

 are going to cost him. Based on our 

 own experience, we certainly urge on 

 all catalogue houses to stick to the old 

 basis of price, for if they do not we 

 fear they will find themselves involved 

 in a mass of error and resulting cor- 

 respondence that will practically over- 

 whelm them in the busy season. 



"You can say as a matter of in- 

 formation that our experience has been 

 based on the handling of an average 

 of 600 to 700 orders a day for nearly 

 three months, with an average dis- 

 tribution covering, approximately, the 

 fourth zone. 



"We place this before the trade as 

 of interest to those who issue cata- 

 logues and at the same time wish to 

 call attention to the fact that uni- 

 formity of action on the part of the 

 catalogue houses is greatly to be de- 

 sired."
