New Year's holiday and between now 

 and Easter will dispose of a larger quan- 

 tity than in any previous season. 



Mrs. F. Stollery sustained injury Jan- 

 uary 9, when the car in which she, to- 

 gether with a party of friends, was rid- 

 ing, collided with a street car at Well- 

 ington avenue and Broadway. The im- 

 pact hurled the machine through the 

 window of a millinery store on the cor- 

 ner, bringing a load of broken glass 

 down upon the occupants of the car. 



F. M. Debois is now with F. Eonsley, 

 17 East Jackson boulevard. 



Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster, 

 is much pleased with his Marmon. He 

 has taken several long drives and says 

 the car is all he hoped for. 



Clifford Pruner has left the city to 

 resume his work on the road. 



The Flower Craft Shop, 1514 Hyde 

 Park boulevard, has a nice, new green 

 and gold light car for its deliveries. 



Another automobile for delivery pur- 

 poses is under contemplation by the E. 

 Wienhoeber Co. 



As an indication of how fortune has 

 smiled on R. Scheffler, who succeeded 

 E. T. Wanzer at Wheaton after nine 

 years in his employ, a few months after 

 taking possession he bought a 125-horsc- 

 power steam boiler and put steam 

 throughout the eight houses to help and 

 meet any emergencies in the heating 

 line. Upon completion of this improve- 

 ment, which also called for a couple of 

 traps and receivers, he found opportu- 

 nity to add another house 36x250. This 

 and several smaller improvements com- 

 pleted, also the peony acreage increased 

 to five, he decided a newer and more 

 modern home was needed, so a 10-room 

 residence was built, with all conve- 

 niences even to piping steam from the 

 greenhouse boilers, and the entire place 

 was electrically lighted. At present an- 

 other house 36x250 is being glazed and 

 will be planted to sweet peas. 



Paulus Bros., at the corner of Sunny- 

 side and Clark streets, had a pretty 

 window of azaleas and cyclamens last 

 week. Gee. Paulus says "Christmas 

 business a year ago was extraordinary, 

 but this last one had it beat a mile." 



Chas. Grabig, 1843 Irving Park boule- 

 vard, says December was the heaviest 

 he has had in funeral work. Mr. Grabig 

 has an especially good stock of cycla- 

 mens and ferns. 



Out of over 400 Christmas day de- 

 liveries only one order went wrong, says 

 Mrs. Williams, proprietor of the Atlas 

 Floral C6. 



Mrs. Mary Koeble, 1935 Irving Park

 larger business in 1917. She has the as- 

 sistance of her two sons and an excel- 

 lent location with no nearby competi- 

 tion. 



Victor Bergman is well satisfied with 

 the business at Friedman's for the first 

 week of the new year. He says it held 

 up even better than he hoped. 



Completing the balance sheet last 

 week, A. Henderson says he was ex-

 of increase in sales in 1916 over those 

 for 1915 by Henderson & Co.
