Suggestion No. II 

 From the Advertising 

 Suggestion Department 



T. W. Hfgginson once said, "Originality is 

 simply a pair of fresh eyes," — or words to 

 that effect. 



By this same token, any "originality" we 

 arc able to infuse into the advertising sug- 

 gestions, furnished free to our patrons, is due 

 to the fresh light in which we see the products 

 to be advertised. Our service is of value to 

 the advertiser, because, figuratively, we are 

 looking at his goods through the eyes of our 

 readers; i. e., we go a shopping for them, not 

 to buy, but to present in an attractive way 

 the thing they may wish to buy. 



Knowing our readers, we are equipped to 

 tell what is interesting in a manner to prompt 

 their attention. 



If you are a new, old, or a prospective ad- 

 vertiser, little or big, in The Garden Magazine, 

 and feel that our help will benefit you — it is 

 yours for the asking.

 ature, etc., etc., to Jay Vee Lamberton, also
