CHICAGO NOTES. 



Severe Storm. 



A very severe rain storm, accompa- 

 nied by a high wind, visited Chicago 

 and vicinity on the night of the 22nd. 

 It is too early to get a full report at 

 this writing, but it is quite probable 

 that much damage was done. Many 

 trees were torn up by the roots in the 

 city streets and the trees in Lincoln 

 Park suffered greatly. C. A. Samuel- 

 son, 21st street and Michigan avenue, 

 lost some glass in his conservatories 

 when a large sign came crashing down 

 and considers himself fortunate that 

 the damage was not greater. 



Trade Notes. 



There seems no question as to the 

 outcome of the summer's business. As 

 the last week of August comes many 

 of the retailers longest in the busi- 

 ness declare it to be one of the best 

 summer seasons they have ever had. 



Hoerber Bros, of Desplaines think 

 their troubles with water all over for 

 they have a fine flow from their well 

 at a depth of 1133 feet. The drouth 

 has delayed the planting of their car- 

 nations till now, but their stock is fine, 

 having stood the weather in good 

 shape. 



Bassett & Washburn's Hinsdale em- 

 ployees and their families, to the num- 

 ijer of 150, held a successful picnic on 

 the 19th. They were given a half holi- 

 day and the firm generously donated 

 all the prizes for the various games 

 which numbered something like two 

 dozen. So enjoyable was the occasion 

 that it was decided to make the picnic 

 an annual event. 



Fischer Bros., of Evanston, have just 

 completed the glazing of three new 

 greenhouses 28 x 130 ft., and a show 

 house 36 x 60 ft. They are now en- 

 gaged in remodeling their retail store 

 on Dempster street, and when com- 

 pleted they will have a fine up-to-date 

 place. The greenhouses formerly used 

 belong to the father, Fred Fischer, and 

 are now used for forcing vegetables. 



Personal. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett sailed 

 from Southampton, England, on the 

 19th on the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. 

 They will spend some time in the East 

 before returning to Chicago. 



Chas. McKellar and party reached 

 Chicago safely Sunday morning after a 

 six weeks' automobile trip covering 

 over 4,000 miles. No accident marred 

 the trip and Mr. and Mrs. McKellar 



both look well and hearty after their 

 long ride. 



Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brooks again 

 have the sympathy of the trade. Their 

 little son, who was lately sent home 

 from the Augustina Hospital, where he 

 had been confined many months with 

 an injured knee, has shown symptoms 

 of being worse and has again been 

 taken to the hospital. 



Fred Sperry has returned from Min- 

 nesota, where he went to seek rest 

 and health, successful in both. During 

 his absence, Lloyd Vaughan was taken 

 ill from the same cause and this firm 

 is now looking for an attachment to 

 their icebox that will keep the flowers 

 cool without chilling the salesmen.
