The Florists^ Review 



May 25, 1Q16. 



by the express drivers' strike Peter 

 Reinberg put his new light truck on 

 the road a little earlier than intended. 

 The Eeinberg trucks made several trips 

 to out-of-town junctions last week to 

 avoid strike-bound depots. 



Charles Erne says the peony growers 

 will be the chief sufferers from the ex- 

 press drivers' strike, many of their 

 shipments having been refused "by the 

 express companies, while others lay for 

 days in the local express offices without 

 notice to the consignee. 



One of the principal effects of the 

 strike of express drivers, according to 

 A. T. Pyfer, was a shortage of ferns 

 early this week. Incoming shipments 

 were lost sight of in the great accumu- 

 lation of freight in the express offices. 



There has been such a steady growth 

 in the business of W. L. Palinsky, 2865 

 Palmer avenue, that another and a 

 larger delivery car will be necessary, 

 according to Herman Wallace. Funeral 

 work in particular has been unusually 

 heavy. 



Strike or no strike, the E. C. Amling 

 Co. comments that its sales last week 

 exceeded those of a year ago by $3,500. 



An excellent demand for corsages in 

 which cattleyas figure is reported, by 

 O. J. Friedman, in the Congress hotel. 

 He also finds a ready sale for the more 

 expensive conservatory and sun parlor 

 accessories. 



War or no war, Winterson's Seed 

 Store had advices that its Belgian bays 

 reached New York May 19. They are 

 rolling westward now. 



C. W. . McKellar, while far from be- 

 ing himself again, is once more able to 

 be out. 



Work on the east half of the new 

 Wittbold apartment house is progress- 

 ing rapidly. The west half will follow 

 at once and will be completed during 

 the summer, so that by autumn the 

 Wittbold retail store will be in ex- 

 tremely fine new quarters. 



E. F. Kurowski, president of the 

 John C. Moninger Co., May 20 received 

 delivery of a new Cadillac motor car 

 that gives him and his son, E. E. 

 Kurowski, much pleasure. 



The floor space of the University 

 Florist, 1121 East Fifty-fifth street, 

 H. C. Mulder, proprietor, has been prac- 

 ticallj* doubled by the removal of a 

 partition. The depth of the store is 

 now seventy-five feet, with a separate 

 work room and cut flower room, while 

 new electric lighting fixtures add much 

 to the attractiveness of the place. The 

 surrounding neighborhood has been 

 building up rapidly during the last year 

 with high grade apartment buildings, 

 and Mr. Mulder reports an unusually 

 active general demand. 



A new, panel-topped Vim auto truck 

 belonging to the Everette R. Peacock 

 Co. has appeared on the streets. 



There can be no doubt that H. B. 

 Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros. Co., is 

 satisfied that the Saxon car is good, 

 as he bought his second last week. 



A new touring car adds to the pleas- 

 ure being derived from life by Joseph 

 Weis, 3445 Southport avenue. 



Complaint has been made that some- 

 one with a perverted sense of humor 

 has been annoying members of the re- 

 tail trade with counterfeit telephone 

 C. O. D. orders. So far, these fake or- 

 ders have been confined to cut flowers, 

 but even at that there is no joke in 

 delivering a box of cut flowers to a 

 residence only to be met with the state- 

 ment that no order had been given.
