Chisholm, Minn. — Although only a 

 village, the park and boulevard sys- 

 tem of Chisholm ranks higher than that 

 of many a large city, considering in 

 the contrast the size of the city and 

 then applying the ratio. J. L. Phillips 

 is the man who is putting Chisholm on 

 the map in this respect. There is a 

 municipal conservatory 30x100 feet 

 that supplies the plants, shrubs and 

 trees for the park on Longear lake, and 

 shortly there will be thirty-five miles 

 of boulevards. Chisholm was completely 

 demolished by fire in 1910, but today 

 it is a garden village, thanks to Mr. 

 Phillips, park superintendent. 



Detroit, Mich. — John Breitmeyer 's 

 Sons were given a splendid write-up in 

 the Detroit Saturday Night of March 

 25. Two full pages were given to an 

 exhaustive article on the foundation, 

 growth, success and policies of the com- 

 pany. There were twelve illustrations, 

 giving views of the main store, known 

 as the House of Flowers, on Broadway, 

 the three branch stores and portraits of 

 John Breitmeyer, the founder, Philip 

 Breitmeyer, the son, Harry Breitmeyer, 

 the grandson, Albert L. Winckler and 

 Frank Danzcr, managers. The late 

 Elbert Hubbard came in contact 

 with the pew Breitmeyer store when he 

 was in Detroit for a lecture engage- 

 ment sonie time ago. Writing of his 

 experience afterward, Mr. Hubbard 

 called the store the "House of Flow- 

 ers" and spoke highly of the wonder- 

 ful interior. Philip Breitmeyer sub- 

 sequently adopted "House of Flowers" 

 as the name of his Broadway store.
