Mrs. William Hutchinson, who has 

 conducted a successful store at 2136 

 West Harrison street, has removed to 

 better quarters at 2208 West Harrison. 



The real estate investment of Louis 

 and Fred Wittbold rapidly is rounding 

 into shape. Buckingnam apartments, 

 as the building is called, is nearing com- 

 pletion; in fact, only that part adja\ 

 cent to the store awaits the finishing 

 touches and thirty-three of the thirty- 

 eight apartments are occupied. The 

 splendid light and air have made them 

 easy to rent at prices that are expected 

 to make the investment pay twelve to 

 fifteen per cent. The flower 'store, 

 leased to the George Wittbold Co., is in 

 a separate section of the building, with 

 ■workrooms below, a splendid show 

 house at the back, offices on the right 

 and apartments above. This section is 

 fireproof, for the only wood in the store 

 is the furniture; the walls are brick, 

 the floors concrete and the window 

 frames steel. The store will be one of 

 the finest in the city. 



The chrysanthemum shows are in 

 progress at the parks and are attract- 

 ing large crowds. With three annual 

 big free shows of this character, one 

 on each side of the city, it requires 

 something out of the ordinary to get a 

 crowd at a flower show where 50 cents 

 admission is charged. 



While Wietor Bros, each season try 

 out one or two novelties, N. J. Wietor 

 thinks the carnation list now so satis- 

 factory that it will take extra good va- 

 rieties to displace any of the present 

 leaders. His choice of white is Match- 

 less, with White Enchantress for quan-

The proprietor of the University 

 Floral Co., which opened a month or 

 two ago at 6302 University avenue, is 

 George P. Gerasimos. He is pushing 

 hard and expects to build up a good 

 business in the midst of the nest of

The upbuilding of the district around 

 the Belmont avenue station of the 

 Northwestern "L" has made John 

 Schoepfle's investments there a great 

 success. His store was one of the first 

 structures in the neighborhood, where 

 he acquired several lots, now all built 

 on. One of his tenants is Uncle Sam, 

 for a branch postoffice.
