GENERAL INFORMATION 
Terms 
You may have 30 days after receipt of invoice to make payment—more time than 
this if you need it. It is not necessary to send us a deposit on your order, if you can 
guarantee not to cancel at the last minute, leaving us with perishable items on our 
hands to ruin. We will allow you a 2 per cent discount if you send check with order, 
or by November lst.

Shipping Information 
Unless Evergreens are delivered direct to you by our truck, Railway Express is 
the only safe way to ship Evergreens, as Motor Freight is far too slow. For the past 
year we have found Express rates ridiculously high, and to save our customers 
money, we began delivering orders with our own trucks last year. If you can give 
us a large enough order to make a load, we will deliver your order at a great saving 
to you. Or, if several neighboring towns could give us their order for delivery when 
you want yours, working out a mutual delivery date, we could work out a route, 
delivering all orders at one trip, and let all of you share the delivery charges of the 
trip. However, to be able to do this, we must have PLENTY OF NOTICE in which 
to make our plans, and figure out a route so as to save you the most money on 
delivery charges. 
Delivery Date 
When shipping to you, we cannot guarantee goods to reach you any certain 
date. We will ship on the date requested, or the date we think it would be most 
likely to reach you when you want it. After placing your shipment with Transpor- 
tation Company, our responsibility ceases and all claims for lost or damaged goods, 
etc., must be taken up with the Transportation Company. 
Other Information 
DO NOT DELAY ABOUT. PLACING YOUR ORDERS UNTIL THE LAST 
MINUTE! We must have your orders early, or may not be able to serve you. All 
orders are accepted subject to conditions beyond our control, such as strikes, weather 
conditions, transportation delay, etc. It is best to place your order by September or 
October when possible—the earlier we have your order, the better we can serve you. 
WHY YOU SHOULD DECORATE YOUR CITY 
Chrismas is the time for decorating, and everyone is interested in your deco- 
rations. By decorating your town, many.people will come from miles around to look 
at your decorations who would not come otherwise, and while they are there, they 
will buy, thus increasing your Christmas trade. 
Many cities, who previous to 1949 had not decorated, and who did decorate in 
1949 were so pleased with the results of their decorations they would not think of 
leaving off their decorations in 1950, as they feel the decorations increased their 
business, in some instances as. much as 50 per cent. 
In our opinion, the evergreen roping and wreaths go hand in hand, each com- 
pleting the other. Don’t let your neighboring town get YOUR business this Christ- 
mas—Decorate your town with our lovely wreaths and roping for the most successful 
season you have ever had.
