Change of Management. 



TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL FLORISTS' 

 BOARD OF TRADE. 



GENTLEMEN: 



Owing: to the pressure of other important matters I have not been 

 able for some time past to give as much attention to the business of 

 the board as I desired, and I have had under consideration chang:es 

 which would bring into the work some efficient helpers. 



I am very glad to be able to inform the trade that I have 

 made arrangements by which the requisite time and attention 

 will be given to the details and management of the business 

 by Mr. John E. Walker, 56 Pine street. New York City, 

 who has been elected secretary and treasurer of the 

 company. I shall do everything I can to further the 

 interests of my friends in the National Florists' 

 Board of Trade, but Mr. Walker will look after 

 the details of the management. He is a well- 

 known attorney, and a man of high standing 



the New York Bar, and under his man- 

 agement the work will be accurately and 

 thoroughly done. Records heretofore 

 kept at 27 J Broadway have been trans 

 ferred to the new office at 56 Pine 

 street, and the same experienced 

 employees will be in charge of the 

 books and papers. 



The new arrangement brings a 

 further accession of legal strength 

 into the board by the election of 

 Messrs. William A. Moore and Charles 

 J. Dunlap, both members of the New 

 York Bar. Mr. Moore is the assistant 

 district attorney of Westchester county. 

 Mr. Harris H. Hayden, who has accepted 

 the presidency of the corporation, is a business 

 man of wide experience, having been the treas- 

 urer and manager of several well-known com- 

 panies doing business in this city. His advice and 

 assistance will be of great value to the board, and we 

 are fortunate in securing his services in the important 

 office of president. 



It is the intention of the board, as reconstituted, to push 

 the business vigorously, and they hope to make the service 

 more valuable in the future than it has been in the past. Any 

 suggestions in this direction that you can make will be gladly 

 received and most carefully considered by the new directors and 

 officers, who will be very glad to have the pleasure of meeting 

 members of the Trade whenever they are in New York City. 

 I bespeak for the new directors and officers the same cordial co-opera- 

 tion which the members of the board have always accorded to me, and 

 with thanks for past favors, I am, 



Yours faithfully, 



CORNELIUS S. LODER. 



New Office, 56 Pine Street, New York City. 



HAYDEN, President. 



WILLIAM A. 



MOORE, Vice President. 



JOHN E. WALKER, Secretary and Treasurer.
