The Florists^ Review 



Jolt 4, 1912. 



Everyone Thinks His Own Troubles the Worst 



Did you ever see a man who did not 

 think that his own business contained 

 more adverse conditions than any other? 

 How would you like to be the printer? 

 He claims that he loses money on every 

 order, and only the volume of business 

 keeps him up. Also, he says everybody 

 has to have a rush order. Everybody 

 is kicking all the time, and they say 

 that this is the worst season they have 

 had for a long time. They say that 

 every year. They have to; it has be- 

 come a habit. No one gets his money 

 easy but the coal man and the ice 

 man, and the florist has to pay tribute 

 to both of them. If we could get rid 



of these two fellows for a while all the 

 florists would be millionaires. When to 

 all the troubles that beset the florist 

 are added the annoyances that an in- 

 diflferent wholesaler can supply him, he 

 certainly has enough to worry about. 

 Why don't you trade with a house that 

 understands your needs and is willing 

 to go to a little trouble to make things 

 easy for you? Our customers get the 

 best service that is to be had in this 

 business. They don't have the worry 

 that a neglectful wholesaler can cause 

 a florist. We are always trying to 

 keep them in business instead of trying 

 to put them out of it.
