CHICAGO. 



The condition of John Poehlmann, 

 president of the Poehlmanu Bros. Co., 

 is extremely serious. 



H. Schiller, of Schiller's North Store, 

 is enjoying the beauties of National 

 Park, Montana, with a hiking party. 



August Lange is just waiting for 

 the S';mmer lull in business before he 

 starts for Mt. Clements and the baths. 



Ed. Vilter. with Zech A: Mann, has 

 the sympathy of the trade in tlie loss 

 of his mother whose funeral took place 

 last Tuesday. 



Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Moravek, 3220 

 Ogden avenue, left Saturday for a trip 

 to Yellowstone Park. They expect to 

 be gone two weeks. 



C. \V. McKellar, whose continual ill 

 health is regretted by his many friends, 

 is spending most of his time resting 

 at his home in Niles Center. 



Geo. Asmus and family are touring 

 the East in an auto. They will stop 

 at all the principal cities Imt longest 

 at their home town Buffalo and in 

 New York. 



Mrs. J. Simpson reports a good 

 business at both stores during the 

 spring and does not regret the 

 quiet to be expected in July. Week- 

 end motor trips are taken in prefer- 

 ence to one more extended and are 

 found even more restful. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wulbraudt will 

 indulge in an extended vacation, visit- 

 ing their pecan orchard in Georgia 

 where they will erect a cottage. They 

 will probably take in the convention 

 at Houston. After this the Yellowstone 

 Park and a visit in Lincoln, Neb., will 

 complete their time of recreation. 



A number of promising young flor- 

 ists from "down state" are spending a 

 few days here. They were all out to 

 Poehlmann Bros, at Morton Grove, 

 Tuesday. Among them were Ray J. 

 Dills, now with N. Bommersback, De- 

 catur, 111. After leaving Chicago he 

 will visit his brother-in-law, F. H. 

 Meier, a wholesale and retail florist at 

 Vandalia. 111. 



Frank Oe« hslin is building an addi- 

 tion to his Harlem avenue greenhouses 

 recently purchased, consisting of four 

 houses, 19 x i RO feet, and a service 

 shed, 20x^ti feet, oesides making con- 

 siderable improvement in the houses 

 now on the place. When completed 

 this place will make a fine addition to 

 b'" already large establishment. 



lies Cole, of Springfield, 111., is get- 

 ting new ideas by calling on the trade 

 while spending his vacation here. Mr. 

 Cole was formerly wn;h Gullett & Son, 

 but two years ago started into business 

 for himself at the state's capital, where 

 the store has already been rebuilt and 

 made up to date with new fixtures. 

 Mr. Cole is a rising young man who 

 seems to be making good in the busi- 

 ness. 



The colonial style of brides' bouquot 

 still holds first place here, made with 

 either all lily of the valley or with 

 lily of the valley and roses or sweet 

 peas, and without shower. Miss 

 Schiller, whose skill Is often the envy 

 of her friends, uses several rows of 

 maline as a background and none of 

 the usual paper accessories. For the 

 bridesmaids the conventional pink 

 roses are supplanted by Ophelia wit!; 

 l3lue maline.
