Double-Glass 



Double Profits 



The old single layer hot-bed sash are 

 far better than none; but they must 

 be covered with mats, boards or shut- 

 ters every evening and uncovered 

 every morning. They are wasteful. 



The new SUNUGHT DOUBLE 

 GLASS SASH, with two layers 

 of glass enclosing an air space, 

 are COMPLETE IN THEM- 

 SELVES. They eliminate all extra 

 covers; they wipe out half the labor 

 cost; they admit all the light by 

 day to store warmth in the bed and 

 then save the warmth at night. 



They make plants earlier and 

 stronger. Theydouble final profits. 



Every practical gardener or florist 

 will see the value of this. 



And it is good business for you to 

 get our free catalog for full infor- 

 mation. Write your address plainly 

 and send it today; the hot-bed 

 season is not far off. Prof. Massey's

AUTHGEITY. 



S<)iiie men love authority because 

 they think it makes other men bow the 

 knee to them. 



It is a sort of human instinct to rule 

 instead of being ruled. 



It should be the pride of every man 

 in authority that he holds authority 

 because of his ability to govern intelli- 

 gently, instead of holding his job 

 through inheritance or marriage. 



To have more authority than ability 

 should make a man humble instead of 

 puflfed up. 



It is no credit to be given the posi- 

 tion of pipe organ player if you can't 

 pl»v a pipe organ. 



. This kind of a pipe organ player may 

 think that his audience looks up to 

 him because he holds that position, 

 when in fact they are laughing at him 

 behind his back. 



The correct use of authority by men 

 capable of using it is worthy of study 

 and thought. 



The owner of a greenhouse or flower 

 store can increase or diminish his 

 profits by the right or wrong use of 

 authority.
