CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Park Extension. 



At "Greater Lincoln Park," assured 

 to the north shore by the two-to-one 

 vote on election day that authorized 

 the $875,000 bond issue, an extra force 

 of men is at worl; on the extension 

 that practically will double the area of 

 the park and an attempt will be made 

 to have the bulk of the undertaking 

 completed before another winter sets 

 in. 



"The tremendous majority with which 

 the bond issue was passed is a strong 

 indication of the affection of the peo- 

 ple of the North Side for Lincoln 

 Park," said Francis T. Simmons, presi- 

 dent of the Lincoln Park Commission. 

 "Lincoln Park has been the people's 

 park as probably no other park in ex- 

 istence has been. It is within two 

 miles of the center of the city, while 

 all the other big parks are several 

 times as far away." 



Trade News. 



A. F. Longren is just back from a 

 southern trip for the E. H. Hunt sup- 

 ply house and leaves at once for an- 

 ther. Mi". Longren reports business as 

 good in the territoi-y he has visited. 



F. F. Lindsay and R. F. Stilling, of 

 Hiawatha Gardens. Minneapolis, re- 

 cently purchased a tract of land mid- 

 way between Minneapolis and St. Paul 

 and will put up 50,000 sq. ft. of glass 

 this spring. They visited Chicago last 

 week and purchased supplies. 



Since moving their office into Chi- 

 go, the business of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co. has increased materially. They 

 will move May 1st to their larger quar- 

 ters in the same building, where a 

 fine large ice box is being built. They 

 expect to build two new houses this 

 spring. Some splendid Mary Tolman 

 and Sangamo carnations were seen 

 there Monday. 



During his visit in Chicago last week 

 T. D. Smedly, of Fargo, N. D., said 

 business was good in the west. He al- 

 so has a store in Miles City, Mont., 

 and has found no difficulty in getting 

 his stock from Chicago through with- 

 out loss, during the coldest weather. 

 Mr. Smedley used 3500 carnations for 

 his Christmas trade and has ordered 

 his Easter flowers from Chicago.

 for the past week, is convalescing.
