that you can afford to watch good profits wither 

 away because of poor refrigeration and ambitious 

 ice bills? 



You can make your money cover a lot more 

 ground than it ever had a chance to do before by 

 holding down heavily on the use of ice and the 

 spoilage of flowers. 



You can do this if you install a 



M^CRAY 

 REFRIGERATOR 



The continuous circulation of cold, dry air in 

 a McCray is what will turn the trick. Because of 

 our patent system of arranging cold and warm air

Wheta should we start Chinese lilies 

 in the sand and water and how should

 vation since about 1820 and is found 

 in a wild state in the tropics of both 

 hemispheres. W. H. T.
