Detroit, Mich. — At most establish- 

 ments we find one or more on their 

 annual vacation. Unfortunately we 

 have not yet arrived where we would 

 feel like closing the store on the day 

 of the annual outing and consequently 

 the attendance was again slim but 

 very joyous. All entertainment fea- 

 tures were highly appreciated and 

 many enthusiastic athletes nursed sore 

 muscles for several days. 



The Indianapolis florists held their 

 annual picnic at Bertermann's Grove, 

 on August 4. The leading retailers 

 closed their stores for the afternoon 

 and the attendance was very large.
