Another man has been added to the 

 force of the J. A. Budlong wholesale 

 -establishment. April 30, Roswell Schupp, 

 aon of Manager Philipp Schupp, was a 

 boy, but May 1 he became 21 years of 

 age. He celebrated the occasion by 

 taking a position higher up in the busi- 

 ness. His old place as shipping clerk 

 is now held by Henry Zwettler, former- 

 ly with the Great Northern Express Co. 



The florists were represented in the 

 -5-man team c(mtest of the Illinois state 

 fcowling tournament by the following 

 veterans of the game: Fred Price, Al-

 was sufficiently incapacitated to forego 



his weekly visit to the offices of the 

 Chicago Flower Growel"s' Association. 



Of course every seedsman sends out 

 calendars and catalogues, but D. D. P. 

 Boy entertains the idea that a catalogue 

 or an ordinary calendar will, in the 

 course of events, be misplaced or de- 

 stroyed, so, starting out with May, he 

 is mailing a monthly art calendar to his 

 customers. 



The vacancies in the palm department 

 of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton 

 Grove, will soon be filled, as the com- 

 pany is expecting a large shipment of
