AN UP-TO-DATE RIBBON HOUSE. 



When you say "ribbons" yon th nk 

 of Wertheimer, don't you? It is rare- 

 ly that one visits that busy place on 

 Broadway. New York, that he is not 

 shown something new, something bet- 

 ter for the florists' special use than 

 was ever offered before. Calling on 

 them a few days ago we were shown 

 two beautiful new productions — "Sil- 

 verine" ribbon, silver in effect and 

 tarnish-proof, and "Autumn-leaf" rib- 

 bon in all autumn tints, especially ap- 

 propriate for use during the next few 

 weeks. Then there's a radically new 

 chiffon, pattern 891, which as soon as 

 it is let out promises to be the talk 

 of the retail trade. Write and ask, 

 "What is it?" 



We were much interested in the 

 many devices for encouraging the 

 wearing of corsage flowers by ladies. 

 It is no small service these brothers 

 are doing for the florist trade — espe- 

 cially the growers of rare and high- 

 class flowers — in making possible a 

 revival of the time-honored fashion of 

 decking the gown with fresh flowers, 

 without injury to the fabric. Some 

 criticism was made over the award 

 by the S. A. F. of certificates of merit 

 j in the florists' supply department at 

 Baltimore, but there are several stand- 

 points from which to consider these 

 things and we can see how in award- 

 ing certificates to Wertheimer's cor- 

 sagette and "Werbro" corsage shields 

 the judges didn't go so very far wrong 

 even from the point of view of the 

 flower grower. The corsage shields are 

 transparent celluloid cut into proper 

 shape and with apertures for the in- 

 sertion of pin and ribbon. The cor- 

 sagettes are dainty, lacey things and 

 are provided in all colors, to match 

 dress, etc. There are no less than 

 fifteen different new styles of corsage 

 ribbon of indestructible waterproof 

 material and your lady customers only 

 need, like the man from Missouri, to 

 be shown.

CINCINNATI NOTES. 



Geo. Mack, who was seriously ill, is 

 reported as much better. 



Harry Sunderhaus is now with C. 

 E. Critchell's clerical force. 



E. G. Gillett and E. A. Foster went 

 to New Castle, Ind., on Tuesday. 



J. Chas. and Louis Murphy lost their 

 father by death last week. They have 

 the sincerest sympathy of their many 

 friends. 



Bloomhurst Floral Co. are cutting a 

 most excellent crop of Tafts. This 

 rose has surely demonstrated that it 

 is the best summer pink rose on the 

 market. 



I he Flower Show Committee have, 

 iii addition to their own efforts, the CO- 

 co-operation of the Cincinnati Conven- 

 tion Association, and the many rail- 

 roads running in all directions from 

 this city. The committeemen are very 

 confident of the success of the affair 

 and feel that all that is necessary now 

 to make it a success is the coming 

 out in force of exhibitors, for the 

 crowd and money is assured. Adver- 

 tising matter is being put out as fast 

 as it leaves the press.

THE NEW BREITMEYER STORE. 

 Following a cordial invitation of Mr. 

 Breitmeyer many of the Detroit flor- 

 ists availed themselves to visit and in- 

 spect his new store with their wives. 

 The store proper is entirely fireproof 

 and measures 44 feet wide, 73 feet 5 

 inches long, with a conservatory of 

 the same width and 37 feet 9 inches 

 long extending back to the alley. A 

 full sized basement gives still more 

 room for working and the storing of 

 the many things which make up his 

 full compliment of an up-to-date store. 

 Xo expense has been spared to make 

 the store attractive and practical to 

 turn out big work in a short time. The 

 store is occupied now but the official 

 opening will be Saturday, Oct. 7.
