Why should you \>o satisfied with second-rate 

 when the best Ribbons made cost no more than 

 second-rate qualities ? 



Pine Tree Ribbons are the best Ribbons, for 

 there is more Silk Value in them for the money than 

 in ordinary qualities. Most Ribbons must have a 

 profit allowance for the manufacturer and the 

 jobber. 



We are Manufacturers and sell direct, and ffive 

 the best Ribbon values on the market for the money. 



Let us send you samples of Taffetas, Satin 

 Taffetas and New Chiffons. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



that a funny joke about Mr. Reid being 

 like "William Jennings Bryan, because 

 the solid south is for him, you know!" 

 Happily, Mr. Shoch knew the story; he, 

 too, reads the Review, and though a little 

 startled, he was able to acquit himself 



creditably and reply it was a very fuimy 

 joke indeed. 



Now, the curious thing about this in- 

 cident was that the lovely lady should 

 have happened to mention this particular 

 joke to Robert Shoch. It was his pet. 



Mr. Heacock's Kentias. 



A brisk walk through the palm range; 

 bench after bench of small and medium 

 sizes; long beds of large sizes, with the 

 growingly popular tubs strongly in evi- 

 dence; the plants in perfect condition, 

 with the deep, lustrous green so clean 

 that merely looking over an occasional 

 leaf that has been missed by the hose is 

 all that is necessary before sending them 

 out — this is what you see at Wyncote. 



To describe the kentias of the Joseph 

 Heacock Co. would require a gifted pen. 

 It is quite beyond mine. A description, 

 to be adequate, should cearly convey to 

 the reader what the writer sees and wishes 

 to portray. A far abler writer, from the 

 middle west, once wrote a singularly 

 graphic paragraph that I think will an- 

 swer my purpose. The paragraph made 

 a great impression on me on account of 

 its clear, terse language, right to the 

 point, and because it appeared with the 

 name of a man whom I had believed to 

 be in heaven. Probably an able successor 

 to his business, of modest mien, had 

 coined or adopted the phrase. It ran as 

 follows: "Not the largest, nor the old- 

 est; just the best." 



This phrase aptly describes Mr. Hea- 

 cock 'a kentias. I 've seen larger kentias ; 

 I've seen older kentias; I've never seen 

 better kentias. I doubt whether better 

 kentias are grown to-day.
