CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Important Move Anticipated. 



A meeting of the stockholders of the 

 Flower Growers' Market was held 

 Sunday, Jan. Sth, and their location 

 after the 1st of May discussed. A prop- 

 osition to occupy a new huilding at 

 the northwest corner of Lake and Mar- 

 ket streets, to be completed by Sept. 

 1st, was submitted to them and the 

 same will be presented to the whole- 

 sale florists and commission men in 

 the Atlas block during the present 

 week. It is generally l;nown that the 

 Atlas block which now houses fourteen 

 wholesale! s, is to be torn down in the 

 near future, thereby making a new 

 location necessary at some time. 

 Should the proposed location be ac- 

 cepted the shipping facilities will be 

 even better than at the corner of Ran- 

 dolph and Wabash, which has been 

 the stronghold of the wholesale flor- 

 ists for many years. Meanwhile some 

 suitable location in the old neighbor- 

 hood may present itself, as the build- 

 ing east of Randall's and Amling's, 

 but this would hardly accommodate 

 all likely to seek new quarters in the 

 near future.

Sunday, Jan, Sth, by the hurricane 

 which swept over the city, the wind 

 blowing continuously for five hours, 

 and reaching a velocity of 62 miles. 

 When the large plate glass windows of 

 the stores are blown in it is really re- 

 markable that no more serious damage 

 was done to the areas of glass in and 

 about the city. Cranston seems to 

 have suffered most though all places 

 have not yet been heard from, Bas- 

 sett & Washburn, at Hinsdale, had 

 considerable glass to replace, and the 

 Batavia Greenhouse Co. kept a force 

 of men employed all day to repair 

 damage. The intense cold made quick 

 work necessary to protect stock. 

 Frank Beu had a pile of sash held 

 down by a heavy iron door which the 

 wind carried away with the loss ot 

 but one sash, and Miss Gunterberg, 

 commission dealer, having no green- 

 houses to be demolished, had to sur- 

 render her eye glasses to the gale. 

 Among the more serious results was 

 the injury to .James Smith, employee 

 of Peter Reinberg, whose head was so 

 severely cut when he was hurled to 

 the icy wallc that a physician took 

 several stitches in the gash. 



Cold Storage Facilities. 



At a meeting of the wholesalers 

 held Tuesday afternoon a proposition 

 was submitted by representatives of 

 the University of Chicago to erect 

 such a building as florists would find 

 most convenient and equip with cold 

 storage, etc. The site is to be the 

 S. W. corner ot Lake and Market 

 streets, and has a frontage of 200 ft. 

 on the river and 200 ft. on Market 

 street. 



After some discussion it was de- 

 cided to call frequent meetings and 

 reach a decision as early as possible. 

 All interested are invited to attend. 



Trade News. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiv- 

 ing a car load of cannas from the A. 

 T. Boddington Co. this week. Their 

 new catalog will soon be out. 



The business of the firm of Canger 

 & Gormley will hereafter be assumed 

 by .Tohn Canger. The death of his 

 partner John J. Gormley was an- 

 nounced last week. 



Last week the E. Wienhoeber Co. 

 had a table decoration which called 

 for ISO white orchids and but two days 

 in which to get them. A telegram to 

 the east secured these favorites and a 

 man was sent with them to assure 

 their safe arrival. Mr. Wienhoeber 



regards the present season as rather 

 above the average in business. 



Personal. 



Chas. McKellar's condition is still- 

 quite serious, blood poisoning having 

 developed in both hands. 



A. F. Longren and C. W. Johnson, 

 representatives of the E. H. Hunt 

 supply house, are both started on their 

 first trips of the new year. They 

 found trade excellent on their last 

 trip and the house reports a larger 

 business than ever before in its his- 

 tory.
