BUSINESS TROUBLES. 



Seattle, Wash.— C. Melby, florist, 

 voluntary petition in banlvruptcy. 



Buffalo, N. Y. — J. Benson Stafford, 

 florist, 72 West Cliippewa St.; assets, 

 18,783.37; liabilities, $25,700.03. 



Various things have contributed to 

 financial difficulties in the handling of 

 the property known as the Schuetler 

 greenhouses at Wilmette, 111., bought 

 two years ago by Pyfer & Olsem. The 

 financial backing was furnished at that 

 time by H. E. Philpott of Winnepeg 

 and he is now located at the green- 

 houses where he will devote his time 

 to steering the business with smoother 

 waters. 



Charlotte Megchelsen, who sold her 

 store at 47th street and Grand Boul., 

 Chicago, to A. J. O'Leary on contract 

 early in January, filed a petition in 

 bankruptcy Jan. 19th, with liabilities 

 placed at $2,612.84 and assets at 

 $1,218.00, the petition subject to the 

 contract. The referee appointed a 

 trustee who has some complications 

 to straighten out, O'Leary claiming 

 the store by right of purchase and 

 Miss Megchelsen including 4t in her 

 assets. 



W. H. Kidwell, prominent south 

 side florist in Chicago, for twenty or 

 more -years, filed a petition in bank- 

 ruptcy Jan. 31st. His liabilities are 

 scheduled at $29,147.16 and assets at 

 $22,214.61. Mr. Kidwell started in the 

 florists' business with his brother 

 John at 3806 Wentworth Ave. when 

 only a boy and about eighteen years 

 ago he started for himself at 924 Forty- 

 third street where he has been ever 

 since. A few years ago he purchased 

 the Wentworth avenue place from his 

 brother ?,nd placed his son in charge. 

 The assignment co^'ers both places. 

 Many of the wholesalers are on the 

 list of creditors and some to an extent 

 that makes the failure a serious matter 

 to them.

 origin which broke out at 2.15 o'clock 

 on the morning of January 25 in the 

 building at 107 West Market street, 

 occupied as a florist shop by Frank W. 

 Durand, damaged the structure to the 

 extent of $4,000 and also caused a 

 total loss of the contents which were 

 valued at $4,000 and was only partly 

 covered by insurance. The place was 

 opened for business in 1878 by the

 1902. Since that time the business has 

 been conducted by Frank W. Durand, 

 who married a sister of Mrs. Rawson. 

 It was the only place of its kind lo- 

 cated in the heart of the city, and has 

 always been regarded as one of the 

 most up-to-date establishments of Its 

 kind in Southern New York
