Flowers that Bloom in the Spring, Tra-la! Do you remember, a few years ago, the shoe box that you received in the mail conveying some very, very dead flowers with a friend's card of greeting? The box was battered and musty, and in the inglorious state of the gift you certainly were forced to take "the will for the deed." Today you may telegraph flowers anywhere, and within a few hours they arrive, fresh, fragrant and eloquent. To enable you to do this, there exists a National Association of Florists. With the aid of the florist even the mute may be silver-tongued, for, whatever the occasion, we are being taught by advertising that we may "Say it with Flowers." The florists must "sell" an idea to the nation. Whatever the idea be, to eat more citrus fruit; to line our chimneys with clay or to use granite for monuments, that idea may be "sold" to an entire nation by national advertising. Advertising space in tlic Buttcrick publications is for sale through accredited advertising agencies.

When a crow has an errand to perform, it doesn't fly 'round and 'round in ever-widening circles until it reaches its destina tion. It flies direct to the point it wishes to reach, in a straight line, because "a straight line is the shortest distance be tween two points." We believe in the wisdom and efficiency of the crow's methods that's why we con duct our business along those lines. We bring your groceries to you by the same route that the crow chooses the shortest distance between two points. The first point is the point of produc tion, the farmer, the miller, the canner, the packer, etc., and the ultimate destination your table. t We are the connect ing link we bring your groceries to you direct from the pro ducer in a straight line iininus the ex pensive roundabout method of passing them through the hands of many middlemen, each one profit before passing them along. What is saved by our method of merchandising shows in the lower prices at which we are able to sell these goods to you. What would groceries be costing today were it not for the American Stores Co.?
