CHICAGO NOTES. 



The report of the Chicago Fire Com- 

 mission has indirectly broushi to light 

 the plans to tear down sum.' of the 

 down-town buildings in the earlj spring. 

 Among those named in the i 

 is the Atlas Block, the stronghold of 

 the wholesale Horists, qoI less than 

 ten having quarters there. The mat- 

 ter nun be tided over as II »;is two 

 years I cor- 



ner, Randolph strei hash ave- 



nue, has long been regarded as too 

 valuable for it six-story building and 

 the event cannot he far in tht future 

 at any rati'. An effort to bl 



concerted action among aolesale 



florists last spring, that should assure 

 them a suitable building that would 

 he a permanent home \. mpted, 



but did not succeed. 



One of the changes of the week is 

 that of the acceptance of a place in 

 the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion by Chas. Erne, one of the best 

 and most favorably known men in the 

 wholesale trade. 



The salesmen for the E. H. Hunt Co. 

 are in and leave again at once for an- 

 other trip. They report business as 

 brisk and a good outlook for the holi- 

 day season.

 employ of Harry Rowe.

 very ill, has partially recovered and 

 been brought home from the hospital.

 cago Flower Growers' Association of- 

 fice force is recovering from a severe
