Pfogressiveness in every succesEful buBiness 

 house means the ability to better serve their 

 customers, better methods, better quality goods, 

 better service, more courteous attention from the 

 employees, in fact, everything for the betterment 

 of the business. 



Shorter hours, in other words, concentration 

 of energy, have proved beneficial whenever tried 

 by the prosperous firms of today. 



After weighing the matter very carefully, we 

 have decided to close at 6 p. m., believing we 

 can better attain these results by eliminating 

 long and enervating service and closing at this 

 reasonable hour, thus enabling the energies of all 

 concerned to be crisp and efficient at the busy 

 time of the day, when most needed. 



Open from 7 a. m. 

 to 6 p. m.

Various Notei. 



To the growers: Give one hour next 

 week to going carefully over the whole- 

 sale commission houses and going over 

 the various grades of the different varie- 

 ties of flowers, comparing them with your 

 own. 



Among the visitors to the Bising East- 

 ern Market recently were Miss Mooney

 Weir, The Little Flower Shop, Wilkes-

Charles Henry Fox was pleased with 

 the interest manifested in his exhibit at 

 Cincinnati. By the way, Mr. Fox deco- 

 rated a cotton men's dinner with the 

 genuine thing last week, some of which 

 may be seen at the Sign of the Eose. 



A man of about 60 years of age, giv- 

 ing his name as Stewart Brown, was ar- 

 rested in the store of the Johnson Seed 

 Co. for attempting to pass a worthless 

 check. He was held for $1,500 bail in 

 the City hall. It seems that this same 

 man brought another check bearing, like 

 the other, the endorsement of A. J.
