It's a pun.
春夏冬=there is no autumn
in japanese →akinai aki=autumn nai=no
akinai is business or commerce in japanese.

Please think twice before do that!
You didn't explain the second part.
「二合半」=
「枡(ます)、枡(ます)、半枡(はんしょう)」(1, 1, half) =「益々繁盛」
They cheated with the last word as 半枡 はんしょう is not quite 繁盛 はんじょう but close enough apparently.
