One day not so very long 

 ago a man stood for fifteen 

 minutes on a prominent 

 corner in New York City, 

 with a little stand, offering 

 five dollar gold pieces for 

 sale, one to each buyer, at 

 two dollars each. The crowd 

 looked on with suspicious 

 smiles, but did not buy. Dur- 

 ing the time there were three 

 pieces sold. Five minutes 

 after the sale was closed, the 

 crowd was enormous, for the 

 report had spread that the 

 coins were genuine. As a 

 matter of fact, they were 

 genuine and supplied by a 

 rich man who was curious to 

 know what faith the buying 

 public had on an occasion of 

 that kind. That's about the 

 only instance we know of 

 where a buyer was really 

 offered, in good faith, some- 

 thing for nothing, when 

 something for nothing was 

 not expected in return. Now, 

 there are a good many bulb 

 buyers looking for just such 

 snaps, something for nothing, 

 but, gentlemen, they are very 

 rare and when such oppor- 

 tunities do appear be sure the 

 goods are genuine. Horse- 

 shoe Brand Lily Bulbs are 

 not cheap bulbs and are not 

 offered at low prices, because 

 we can't afford it; but the 

 bulbs are genuine and are 

 well worth the money you 

 pay. Write for prices or 

 catalogue.
