Within a few days Papes Brothers, Florists, will open to the public.
This Shoppe of Flowers, the largest in the city, will inevitably become
one of Detroit's show places.

Its equipment is faultless; the interior arrangements are a marvel of
decorative artistry. Quietly rich backgrounds will contrast the colors
of massed flower displays.

The Shoppe is located just across Parsons from Orchestra Hall, on
Woodward Avenue, a location where, we believe, it can best serve
its entire patronage.

To do this properly is its sole aim. Detroit people enjoy a splendi d
service from the many excellent shops of the city. To uphold this
standard, to improve it where possible, is a worthy ambition.
