HERMAN W. BOGEBS. 



WHEN a wealthy woman died in Detroit last autumn it changed the course of a 

 popular Chicago florist 's life — for his wife was the only heir. Herman Rogers 

 was born in Detroit, but has spent his business life in Chicago. He began with his 

 brother, Thomas C. Rogers, with whom he remained, except for a year spent at the 

 World's Fair with M. F. Gallagher, until the outbreak of the Spanisli-Anierican war. 

 Returning from service in the 32d Michigan regiment, he joined Walter Ritzer & Co., 

 but since 1904 has been with Weiland & Risch. In 1901 he married Miss Ella Evans, 

 of Pentwater, Mich. They have a son, Bernard, now 13 years of age. In leaving 

 Chicago for his old home at Detroit, where his wife's inheritance lies, there is the 

 possibility that the trade is not losing him, as his activities have been centered in it 

 so long he may find it difficult to change the habits of years. 



pletcd. A short talk was made by J. F. 

 Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., which 

 was followed by a buff"et luncheon. 



AT CHICAGO. 



Letter from President Amling. 



The meeting of the Chicago Florists* 

 Club, held at the Morrison hotel Janu- 

 ary 4, was better attended than any 

 in some time, over seventy-five mem- 

 bers being present. The most important 

 business was the installation of new 

 officers, which took place after the re- 

 tiring officers had rendered their respec- 

 tive reports. President W. H. Amling, 

 who is just recovering from an illness, 

 was unable to be present, but sent the 

 following letter, which was read by 

 Vice-president Paul Klingsporn, as 

 chairman for the evening: 



It is with deep reprot that I am missinff this 

 meetinjr. Althouph I am Rettinj; along nicely 

 and have good chances for an early recovery 

 from my late Illness, my physician would not 

 grant my request to let me go to the meeting 

 tonight, but called it imwise and urged nie to 

 wait another month. Since the pen is mightier 



than the sword and the doctor stronger tlian the 

 l)atioiit, I iTiust siiliniit to his ruling. However, 

 if I cannot Xto with you in jxTson I am witli 

 you in soul and spirit and wish the club as such, 

 and each nienil)er individually, good health and 

 a very happy and prosperous New Year and an 

 enjoyable time for the evening. I hope that all 

 the rest of the officers elected for the coming 

 year come well prepared with a goo<i long speech, 

 so that you will not miss the chairman. Espe- 

 cially our new secretarj-, who is world-renowned 

 for his talent in speaking, has something up his 

 sleeve and is loaded to the brim. Get it nut of 

 him. And I know that the vice-president elect, 

 with his jilcasant face and melodious, touching 

 voice, will do such credit to the chair tluit the 

 club will be more than pleased. 



It l>elnR the duty of the chairman to appoint 

 certain standing committees, I would beg the fol- 

 lowing gentlemen to serve for the year: 



Committee on Good of the Club — G. Asnius, 

 G. French, Fred Lautenschlager. 



Committee on Simrts and I'astimes — Pete 01- 

 sem. Fre<l Price and Joe Einweck. 



Committee on Transportation — M. Barker. 

 (Mr. Barker to appoint the otlier members him- 

 self.) 



Sergeantat arms — Michael Fink. 



The other new officers were present, 

 as follows: Vice-president, Paul Kling- 

 sporn; secretary, Allie Zech; treasurer, 

 Otto Amling; trustee, W. J. Keimel. 

 Miscellaneous Business.
