PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Mr. Faust of the Pennock-Meehan 

 Co. has not y"t (12th inst.) reached the 

 crisis of the typhoid attack, but is re- 

 garded by his physicians as having a 

 good chance to weather it. 



Lent does not cut so much of a fig- 

 ure here as it used to. There are 

 plenty of weddings and other functions 

 in sight to keep the trade busy. After 

 the first three or four days things get 

 back to normal. 



Mr. Peacock states that the report 

 of the fire at his home last week was 

 incorrect. On further investigation we 

 find the disaster was at the house of 

 his partner. Our expressions of sym- 

 pathy are therefore just as much in 

 order. 



Jno. H. Dodds, the superintendent at 

 the Wanamaker country home, was in 

 town when the fire broke out. The 

 mansion was completely destroyed, 

 causing fifteen hundred thousand dol- 

 lars' damage. The strenuous life led 

 by Mr. Dodds in getting home and the 

 exciting work following would fill a 

 volume to recite. It was a case of 

 salvage: no water; plugs all frozen. 



Wra. C. Smith disagrees with J. D. 

 Eisele of Dreer's in regard to Boston 

 and Scotti ferns. As I remember it. 

 Mr. Eisele could grow 25 per cent, 

 more Scotti in the same space. Mr. 

 Smith says he can grow more Bostons 

 in the same space without losing their 

 leaves. This is an interesting problem 

 and according to the rules of debate 

 Mr. Eisele has the first say, but he has 

 to give particulars. After that Mr. 

 Smith can follow with his points. 



The Dumont store has been rented 

 by Berger Bros. Messrs. Berger will 

 refit and improve the interior and ex- 

 pect to move in by March 1st. With 

 the well known energy and enterprise 

 of Messi-s. Berger things ought to hum 

 once more at 13th and Filbert — 

 having been pretty dead there since 

 the removal of the market to Pennock's. 

 The event of this week in wholesale 

 circles has been the opening of the 

 new Niessen store. They have been 

 visited by hosts of old friends and 

 customers to wish them good luck and 

 to admire the up-to-date airangements 

 for the efficient dispatch of business, 

 from the ice making plant in the base- 

 ment to the offices and supply depart- 

 ments on the upper floors. The ad- 

 dress is now 1209 Arch St.
