Shown here is a 1923 ad for H.E. Cannon Greenhouse.

Rarely do you see an ad from over 100 years ago for a small business that is still operating today. Founded by Horace Edgar Cannon (1871–1941) in 1893 in East Texas, he moved his operations to Arlington in 1921. It’s been part of the community for over a century, though today they sell flowers and plants (and are known as H. E. Cannon Floral) instead of trees and shrubs.
