We Have a New Address

We have left our old stamping
ground, where we dispensed trees
and goodwill for thirteen years,
and have taken larger quarters!

For several years we have been
cramped for room at Riverside and
Monroe Streets, and it has been
worse the past season than ever
before .

We are now in an ideal location,
though a bit farther from the busi-
ness district.

You will find us on the South-
east corner of East Sprague and
Haven Streets, three short blocks
from the entrance to the Interstate
Fairgrounds.

Right on the East Sprague car-
line, and only a few moments ’
ride from Howard and Riverside,
the business heart of our Spokane,
by either street car or auto.

H ere we have plenty of room for
autos to park, lots of sunshine and
ample space to display our Trees
and Shrubs, Evergreens and Roses
to the best advantage.

Come and see us! We will be
glad to have you call at the little
white office with the green roof.
