dition to the complete equipment
which they already have. they are
adding new lines continually and
improving their general service.
The suggestion by many that
prosperity is Bear at hand seems to
be a realization by the above Firm
and instead of waiting for that
time when Cotton will sell for
500 per baIe," as was recently pre-
dicted. they have pinned their
faith to immediate conditions and
have taken a new lease for period

anticipation for the demand of this
line the sale has been so brisk that
now new stocks are ordered weekly
until the demand is supplied.

the cultivation of more choice
flowers in our homes and help in
