When Considering 
The Purchase of Raffia 
If you were offered a grade of goods at a low price and 
the quality was guaranteed to be first class, you would not 
hesitate to try the goods if you needed them, would you ? 
Certainly not. There would be no risk and no reason why 
you should. 
That’s just what we offer on RED STAR Brand Raffia 
which is sufficient reason for you to try it, but we will go one 
better and offer you the recommendation of nearly every 
nurseryman in the United States and Canada. They use it 
and continue to use it. The books in which all sales of RED 
STAR RAFFIA are entered show the same names last year 
as they did the year before and again this year the same 
ones as last year and many new ones. 
When men buy your goods and continue to buy them 
year after year, in these days of keen competition, and wide 
awake business men, wouldn’t you consider that an honest 
recommendation ? 
When you buy Raffia do you order RED STAR ? If 
not, then why not ? Others find it to their advantage to use 
it. You should at least investigate it. Send for a sample 
and prices. They are yours for the asking. We are head¬ 
quarters. Large stock on hand at all times. Shipments can 
be made promptly or will be reserved for shipment any time 
you may instruct. Prompt attention given all orders. Place 
your order for this season’s supply now.
