Always mentioii the Floriata' Review when 

 wiitiiig advcrtisen. 



The other day the writer was un- 

 ceremoniously racked over the coals 

 by a florist who complained of the 

 price he paid us for a case of Paper 

 Whites. He said he had bought a 

 case of 1250 bulbs from a Dutch- 

 man for $8.70 for the case. Pro- 

 duced the order blank and had an 

 invoice, both reading $8.70 for the 

 case. For a while the air was 

 dense, but after things simmered 

 down a bit, and the matter was 

 investigated, we found the Dutch- 

 man had drawn advance charges 

 on the freight bill of $4.00 on the 

 case, and 75c for freight and cart- 

 age, making the actual cost of the 

 box over $13.00. The good old 

 Scotchman had forgotten all about 

 his freight bill — and many others 

 do, too. Every florist should look 

 over his freight bills carefully; see 

 that his goods are not over- weighed, 

 and that there are no advance 

 charges against him. This "water- 

 ing" of freight bills is not uncom- 

 mon, and much profit is made by 

 foreigners on rebates from this 

 source. When comparing prices, 

 always add your freight charges to 

 your invoice costs, if you want to 

 know the real cost — that's only fair 

 to yourself. This "advance charge" 

 racket is very misleading, and in 

 many cases nothing more than pure 

 and simple swindling. Look at 

 your freight bills. Figure it all up, 

 and then send for the Horseshoe 

 Brand catalogue, with prices f. o. b. 

 cars New York.
