MICHELL’S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST, JULY AND AUGUST, 1917 
BUSINESS TERMS 
We especially invite Charge Accounts. A charge account is 
more convenient tlian to remit for each order at the time it is 
sent us; you pay no more for your goods by reason of this 
accommodation. As to our responsibility, we refer you to Dun’s 
or Bradstreet’s Mercantile Agency. 
Wlicn sending your first charge ordqr, refer preferably to 
some one in either your own or our line of business with whom 
you have a charge account. Tliis frequently saves delays. 
NET CASH ITEMS 
Grain, Clover, Bird and Farm Seeds, also Fertilizers, are 
liandled on very close margins and are sold with no cash 
discount.

On bills for Flower, Vegetable Seeds and Bulbs, a discount of 
2% for payment 10 days from date of bill may be deducted, if 
cash accompanies the order 3% may be deducted on such items. 
All otlier goods are strictly net, as are also bills for goods suj)- 
plied under special quotation unless otherwise agreed upon. 
All contracts and acknowledgments are contingent upon crop 
failures, partial deliveries by growers or manufacturers, strikes, 
or other unavoidable causes beyond our control, also unsatis¬ 
factory credit standing. AU quotations are subject to market 
changes and goods being unsold on receipt of order. Henry F. 
Michell Company endeavors to send out only the very best

or crops. If customers do not accept goods on the above con¬ 
ditions, they can be returned to us within ten days. 
TRANSPORTATION ADVANTAGES POSSESSED BY 
PHILADELPHIA 
Freight—Philadelphia’s transportation facilities are unsur¬ 
passed by any other city in the U. S. The Pennsylvania R. R., 
Philadelphia & Reading R. R., Lehigh Valley R. R., and the 
B. & O. R. R. all have terminals in Philadelphia. These lines 
offer special facilities and quick transportation to any part of 
the U. S. Several of them touch with their own linos extreme 
North, South, East and West. Where they do not run direct, 
they have trallic agreements with connecting lines. 
Boat Connections—The Clyde Line S. S. Co. and the Mer¬ 
chants & Miners S. S. Co. sail direct from Philadelphia for 
points as far south as .Jacksonville, and the connections they 
have with the Mallor 3 ' Line serve other extreme southern points. 
The Merchants & Miners Line also sails direct from Philadel¬ 
phia to Boston, from where it serves points in New England. 
Boat transportation affords one of the quickest and most eco¬ 
nomical waj’s in existence to-day for shipping goods. 
Express Service—Philadelphia is served by express service of 
the Adams, Wells-Fargo, and American Express Companies, 
which reach every part of the U. S. Goods consigned to any 
point on their lines can bo forwarded without transfer. Express 
rates are extremely moderate, compared to what they were, and 
we recommend this service, where quick delivery is wanted and 
especially for the transportation of plants and other perishable 
goods. Seeds, Plants and Bulbs enjoy a special express rate, 
lower than what is demanded for carrying general merchandise. 
PARCEL POST 
This method provides a quick, reasonably safe and inexpen¬ 
sive transportation of such goods as will bo accepted by Parcel 
Post, such as flower, vegetable, grass and field seeds and many 
sundries; liquid preparations cannot be mailed with safet\'.
