ANNOUNCEMENT 
The American Bulb Company, true to its tradition "WATCH 
US GROW", announces with pleasure consolidation of inter- 
est and activities with the 0. M. Scott & Sons Company. 
Mr. Abe Miller, founder and president of the American Bulb 
Company and American Florist Supply Company, is joining 
with Charles B. Mills, president of the Scott Company 
in making public the successful completion of long term 
negotiations looking forward to this merger. 
Active operations of both companies will continue indepen- 
dently and in the same manner as before. Abe Miller, who 
founded the Bulb Company in Chicago in 1916, will continue 
as president working with the present personnel and with 
an expanded organization to be set up to greatly enlarge 
the scope of operations of the American Bulb Company. 
The activities of the American Bulb Company will continue 
to center around their Chicago and New York offices. It is 
anticipated that other offices and warehouses will be estab- 
lished in the important selling areas of the country in 
the near future. In some instances these will be associated 
with branch operations of tne 0. M. Scott & Sons Company. 
The American Bulb Company has already inaugurated through 
their New York office a stepped-up program in packaged 
bulbs for distribution through the florists. This opera- 
tion should grow rapidly with the help of the Scott Company 
because of its broad distribution of packaged items sold 
through nurseries, garden centers, and hardware stores. 
Plans call for an expansion of the sales and services of the 
American Bulb Company, in particular the services to green- 
house operators and growers. Opportunities will be available 
for experienced salesmen in territories not being presently 
covered by American Bulb Company sales representatives. One 
of the important phases of the expansion program will look
