HOTELS AT NIAGARA FALLS. 



It seems fair that it should be made 

 known to the members of the S. A. F. 

 <& O. H., that exhibition hall, meeting 

 hall, business office, space for outside 

 display, and music and refreshments 

 for the President's Reception have all 

 been furnished to the Society by Mr. 

 Isaacs, free of charge. These accomo- 

 dations which he has furnished us, 

 the writer believes cost over $1000.00 

 last year, and have cost very large 

 sums in almost every place where the 

 Society has met before. The amount 



of profit of the Society from the trade 

 exhibition last year was only a little 

 over 1100.00, but through the gener- 

 osity of Mr. Isaacs this year, it will 

 be at least $1000.00 more than that. 



Mr. Isaacs is the manager of the 

 Prospect House, Cataract House and 

 t!ie International Hotel. 



Mr. McClurc and Mr. Cutler assure 

 us of fair treatment and reasonable 

 rates, and the writer feels it his duty 

 to urge upon the members of the 

 Society to give these houses the prefer- 

 ence, so far as they can do so without 

 inconvenience to themselves. 



All indications point to a large at- 

 tendance, one of the largest trade ex- 

 hibitions ever held, and a most suc- 

 cessful convention in all respects. 



W. N. RUDD, Secretary. 



LADIES' SOCIETY OF AMERICAN 

 FLORISTS. 



The Ladies' Society of American 

 Florists will meet Wednesday and
