Otto W. Frese, Jr., 2-year-old invalid 

 son of O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., is suffering from rheumatism which 

 seems to have set in as the result of 

 two broken legs, which injuries he re- 

 ceived some time ago. The boy was 

 born invalid, never ha\ing received the 

 use of either arms or legs, and the frac- 

 tures which he sustained in his legs 

 were the result of falls caused by his 

 helpless condition.

Visitors. 



G. Brunner, Price Hill, Cincinnati, 

 left Chicago, November 2, after spend-

The Market. 



Politics has been red-hot in this 

 town and has not benefited the flower 

 business; nor has the fact that Mich- 

 igan street has been blockaded for 

 weeks, while car tracks were relaid, 

 been to the advantage of the three re- 

 tail stores of the city, all located on 

 that thoroughfare. But trade has gath- 

 ered volume steadily in spite of these 

 handicaps and now is expected to go 

 ahead at a pace stronger than ever.

 than ever, factories having many war 

 orders, so that buying power is higher 

 than usual. That there are only seven 

 florists in this city of nearly 60,000 

 I)eople is explained by the fact that 

 there are more private greenhouses than 

 florists and that the area of private 

 glass nearly equals the area of com- 

 mercial glass. None of the branches 

 of the three leading families of the city 



patronizes the florists except on rare 

 occasions. Consequently the calls for 

 flowers, while numerous, are at moder- 

 ate prices. 



Various Notes. 



The Beyer Floral Co., occupying the 

 entire building at }'M North Michigan 

 street, has about 9,000 feet of glass in 

 the outskirts of town. A few carna-
