I have laid down my hoe and 
taken up the sword in active de- 
fense of our country. I am over- 
seas in a combat zone. My busi- 
ness has been discontinued for 
the duration. Much of my best 
stock and the names of my 
friends and customers have been 
turned over to Mr. Stancer. He is 
a swell fellow to deal with and 
his Michigan grown stock is of 
the best. 
Beauty is one of the things we 
are fighting for, so buy some 
flowers from him. 
Thanks and best wishes, 
Paul Brandon, 
Formerly of Bend, Oregon.
