The Florists^ Review 



July 6, 1916. 



The outing was the largest ever held by 

 this firm and everyone agreed that he 

 had a "big time." 



The crowd from the store and the 

 range on Humboldt avenue was taken 

 to the grounds in the big auto trucks 

 of the firm and the musicians em- 

 ployed for the occasion made things 

 lively coming and going, as well as 

 at the grove. At the time of leaving 

 some little trouble was experienced in 

 starting one of the trucks, but this 

 difficulty was soon overcome. 



Following are the prize-winners in 

 the various contests: 



Potato race, lor ladles — Miss D. Jens, first; 

 Miss Z. Brayer, second. 



Nail-driving contest, for ladies — Mrs. Ileuer, 

 first; Mrs. G angler, second. 



Ladies' race— Miss D. Jens, first; Miss D. Uo- 

 senau, second.

 second.

The kettle contest for ladies showed 

 three with equal credits, who re- 

 ceived prizes of the same value. They 

 were: Miss F. Schneider, Mrs. F. 

 Berndt and Miss Louise Dickow. One 

 of the main events of the day was a 

 ball game between the Brown Deer 

 team and the city team. The city boys 

 carried off the honors, winning by a 

 score of 11 to 9.
