Every year the retail floiist who would be successful must add the r.ewest novelties to his stock. 

 We make it a point to carry everything that the trade demands. 



More than that we manufacture baskets, wire designs and novelties, and prepare magnolias, cycas and oak leaves 

 in our own factories, so you are assured of getting practical things that your customers will want. 



Visitors Are Always Welcome 



POELHMANN BROS. CO. ""i^SlcAcJi^^ " 



The Foley Mfg. Co. furnished the 

 material for the new 300-feet house 

 just being completed tor Frahk 

 Oechslin, at his Harlem avenue place. 

 Many of the largest vegetable forces 

 of the country are now using Foley's 

 houses and this branch has developed 

 fast in recent years. Foley has also 

 erected conservatories for four uni- 

 versities in nearby states recently. 

 James P. Foley, eldest son of Presi- 

 dent Philip J. Foley, is secretary and 

 Philip, Jr., is also connected with the 

 business. Since the company was re- 

 organized, a new factory has been 

 completed and modern ma'liinery in- 

 stalled. Philip J. Foley will probably 

 Tje at the Xew York Convention. 



A. A. Ainoiu, p» eoiue.it n^ llie A. 

 A. Arnold Paper Box Company, is 

 spending two weeks in the East, en- 

 joying some of the good fishing to be 

 found there. His son C. li. Arnold, 

 secretary and manager of the busi- 

 ness, says there is a great demand for 

 the mist — gray flower boxes, the deli- 

 cate neutral shade being particularly 



attractive with the bright colored 

 flowers. The manufacture of paper 

 boxes was begun by A. A. Arnold 

 twenty-five years ago and the busi- 

 ness has steadily grown, until now 

 they have a fine new building, with 

 tour stories and basement and are 

 still growing. Mr. Arnold has seen 

 he paper flower box change from a 

 florists' luxury to a positive necessity 

 in the modern retail store. 



The J. A. Budlong Co.'s customers 

 are supplied by the product of the J. 

 A. Budlong Co., the L. A. Budlong Co. 

 and their several consignors, totaling 

 over 2,000,000 sq. ft. of glass area. 

 The name Budlong goes back to the 

 earliest days of Chicago when two of 

 the four brothers left the East and 

 bought land just north of the then In- 

 dian trading post, Chicago. The busi- 

 ness has grown with that of the city 

 and while the originators have long 

 since passed away, capable hands 

 have strengthened and guided it till 

 it lias become one-of the largest ship- 

 ping houses in Chicago. In 1904 Philip 



Schupp, son-in-law of J. A. Budlong, 

 took active charge of the wholesale 

 store and to him is due the successful 

 management of the sales department. 

 His son, Roswell Schupp, is one of the 

 rising young men in the business, and 

 is actively engaged with his father. 



The J. C. Moninger Co., which is 

 the pioneer greenhouse manufacturing 

 company in Chicago, was founded by 

 the man whose name it bears when 

 those now in the business were in their 

 cradles, but the policy of the company 

 has never changed and the original 

 ideal and aim to meet the needs of 

 the commercial and private grower 

 has been steadfastly adhered to, The 

 new five-story factory and warehouse 

 are now practically completed, replac- 

 ing the old ones that were burned last 

 .lanuary. The lower story is 17 ft. 

 high, of structural steel work, and 

 will have cranes in addition to the 

 regular machinery, punch presses, etc., 

 making a much l)etter equipment, so 

 the firm is in better position than ever 

 before to handle its business. R. E.
