 old fashioned kinds that our mothers carried when they were flower-girls or graiiuat«»8. Give us your ideas and let us 

 send you a sample order to have in stock when your customers call. They are most attractive and reasonable in price. 



With the baskets you will want other things for your wedding work.

light from the rear, where supplies can 

 be brought in from Walnut street. A 

 brick vault at one side suggests po&- 

 sibilities for floral' work made up but 

 not ready to deliver. Mr. Fox proposes 

 to rent the upper floors. 



The style of the new Sign of the Eose 

 is to resemble closely the old English 

 style first introduced by Mr. Fox, with 

 its handsome mantels, rich carving, an- 

 tiques of great interest, and with its 

 lack of commercialism. This last feature 

 Mr. Fox has found it necessary to modify 

 somewhat. Work on the new Sign of_ 

 the Rose will commence about July l' 

 and, it is expected, will be finished early 

 in the fall.
