From Every Standpoint 



The Perfect Delivery System for Florists 



It means money and reputation to a Florist to get 

 his plants and tiowers delivered quickly— an hour or two 

 of delay often means a loss of their first crisp freshness. 



When decorating a house or church it is most neces- 

 sary that the Florist and his plants should get there in 

 a hurry and back in a hurry. 



AN INTERNATIONAL CONNERCIAL CAR 



will make deliveries in one-third the time required with 

 a horse-drawn vehicle. It means better service— lower 

 cost of delivery — a larger territory- and as a result, more 

 business. 



The International Commercial Car is the most prac- 

 tical car on the market. The motor is simple, well built, 

 and economical in fuel consumption. The wheels have 

 solid rubberUires- no delays due to punctures and blow- 

 outs. The Ipternational Commercial Car is sold at the 

 lowest price consistent with high-grade materials and the 

 best workmanship. 



Write and tell us what conditions you have to meet 

 and We will be glad to furnish you with figures showing 

 the saving an International Commercial Car will make 

 for you— figures based on the experience of other busi- 

 ness men.
