LORD & BURNHAM COMPANY'S 



NEW PHILADELPHIA 



MANAGER. 



On Nov, 10. 1911. D. T. Connor, who 

 has been associated with Lord &, 

 Burnham Company's Philadelphia of- 

 fice for the past few years, resigned 

 his position. 



As we announced in these columns 

 a month or so ago, Mr. Montague C. 

 Wright, who for the past seven years 

 has been, associated with Lord & 

 Burnham Company's New York of- 

 fice, was at that time made manager 

 of the Philadelphia office and south- 

 ern territory. Mr. Wright, as an old 

 Philadelphia boy, was for several 

 years in the employ of P'rederick H. 

 O'Neill, who was then sales agent in 

 that section for Hitchings & Com- 

 pany's greenhouses. Mr. Wright is a

ICiURES state facts, and 

 when we say we have sokl 

 217 houses in the Phila- 

 delpliia and the soutliern terri- 

 tory in the last year or so, it 

 sounds decidedly convincing to 

 you. 



It's a lot more interesting and 

 convincing than that old moth- 

 eaten statement, " \N'e build 

 houses from Maine to Califor- 

 nia." One in Maine, one in 

 Chicago and one in California 

 could answer to that claim. 



But still you say, "Anyone 

 can give figure facts: what we 

 want to know is who tliese 217 



are. 



7j 



And that's exactly what we 

 want you to know. 



Call at our Philadelphia ottice 

 and we will sliow you tlieir 

 names and tell you just the kind 

 and size of houses they built 



If you haven't the time to do 

 this just now, then let us send 

 you the names of some of these 

 customers that are in your par- 

 ticular territory wlio have 

 houses — houses that it will pay 

 you to go and see before you de- 

 cide who is to build your next 

 house. 



If w^e can do satisfactory work 

 at a satisfactory price for these 

 2 1 7 in this territory, for exam- 

 ple, we can do it for you, no 

 matter in what territory of the 

 United States or Canada you are. 



Come and see us if you can. 



If you can't, then be sure to 

 write us.

 news note about our I'hlladelphia ottice when it

 papers, we reproduce it here.
