A short distance north of

on Bladensburg Road, ten
greenhouses of the Guide
Bros. Co., the florists, are 10
Gated. Four of these houses
were erected in 1913 and
1914, an indication of the
steady growth of this firm.
These, together with the 80
houses on Good Hope road,
make a total of 43 green
houses operated by Guide, re-
quiring over 100000 feet of
glass to cover.
Here are nurtured and
grown the nationally famous
American Beauty Roses, re-
peatedly prize winners at flor
al exhibitions; the stately
chrysanthemums, in almost
endless variety; the beautiful
carnations in a veritable riot
of color; the asters, the gar
denias, the violets, and the
many other blossoms of rare
beauty which have gained
such an enviable reputation
for Guide Bros. CO.
The Guide store is located
at 1914 F Street northwest
where prompt delivery is
made to all parts of the city.

marked new order of things

The steadily increasing pat

indication of its success.
Still another is Whelan's
Cash Market at 1117 H St.

we'll deserved patronage.
This store has inaugurated a
free delivery system to every
part of the city-for it daily

substantial money-savings by
trading there.
Mr.. Whelan is one Of
northeast's Invest and most
progressive citizens and has
always taken a deep interest
in affairs looking to the ad-

store is always completely
stocked with the best the
market affords in both, grocer

displayed among the mos

high rentals to pay-no ex.
orbitant operating expenses
to meet, and, enjoying the
liberal patronage of the citi-
zens of that section, they are
beyond competition.
AS a striking example of
the progress made, take the
one block square on H Street,
between nth and 18th SITS.
Here almost side by side will
be found the modern North
east Market and the firSt-class
stores of The Sanitary Groc-
cry Co. and Whelan'S Cash
Market, a combination ii
would be hard to excel.
Since the recent order by
the District Commissioners
permitting the placing of
stands on the sidewalks by
the farmers and raisers of
country produce, the North
east Market has proven the
mecca for thrifty buyers.
Buying direct from the grow
er makes it possible for the
consumer to substantially de-
crease the high cost of living.
The interior of this splen-
did market is nothing short of
a revelation. Handsome tiled
stands, spick and span, have
supplanted the unsightly
wooden stands of former
days, and modern illuminat-
ing facilities have made pos
sible the perfect lighting of
every portion. No dark cor

of the splendid patronage,
many of the farmers are ask

Courtesy is the watch
word at all times prevailing
here. The principle of
prompt, polite service has
been inculcated in every en-
ploye, so that it is nothing
short of a pleasure to deal
here. Another noteworthy
feature is the system of free
delivery which has been in
stalled.
Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday, truck farmers from
the neighboring States of
Maryland and Virginia drive
in and place their produce on
sale. Fresh vegetables and
fruits plucked that very
