Putterittg is lost motion 



It is to the commercial world what 

 lost motion is to the mechanical world 



It implies not only loss of motion, power and time, but a '' jarring," " tliumping," " pounding," which 

 raclcs the *' whole machine." 



One Icind of commercial puttering is *' home-made" collections. 

 Time and energy misdirected— lost. Some people have surplus energy. 



But is that any reason why that surplus should be wasted— misdirected, lost I ^ ..^ 



T ) But who has a surplus of time ! Where is the business man who can afford to waste time ! 



We maintain one big Department for the special 

 handling of delinquents for Florists and Nurserymen 



jiIVow, instead of laboring, fussing, fuming (all of which amounts merely to trying) , give us your delin- 

 quent accounts to collect— actually collect. 



Don't wait until you have uselessly spent a lot of valuable time. At the first suggestion that an ac- 

 count is "going to be hard to collect" give it to us. 

 Then the work and worry and trouble is all ours.

The Market. 



The last week was one continued 

 glut. Stock of all kinds was abun- 

 dant and prices were correspondingly 

 low on everything. However, the frost, 

 so long looked for, came October 28, 

 and there will be no more outdoor 

 stock for this year. General condi- 

 tions, therefore, should shape up bet- 

 ter and prices should stiffen. The 

 weather this week is ideal for green- 

 house stock, for, while it is quite cool, 

 the sun is shining brightly and stock 

 is already showing some improvement. 

 The retail stores are all doing well, 

 with no unusual developments, but a 

 nice, quiet business going on all the 

 time and everybody in good humor. 



Various Notes. 



The A. W. Smith Co. had a Hal- 

 lowe'en decoration in one of the win- 

 dows which was specially attractive. 

 Among the decorations was a pumpkin 

 with a face carved on it and colored 

 so perfectly as to be unusually striking 

 and characteristic. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, were busy with 

 medium sized decorations all last week. 

 Their east end shop contains an at- 

 tractive showing of chrysanthemums. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. report trade as 

 all they could expect for their first 

 month in business. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is 

 sending out an attractive catalogue of 

 florists' supplies. 



Bandolph & McClements say there is 

 nothing doing, but their large force of
