The Market. 



St. Valentine's day was highly satis- 

 factory to both wholesalers and re- 

 tailers, the big fellow and the little fel- 

 low all sharing in the well-earned profits 

 of this popular holiday, which is sur- 

 passed only by Christmas and Easter 

 as a flower day. That the business, all 

 things considered, was more profitable 

 than that of last year is undoubtedly 

 owing to the return of so many of * ' the 

 boys" to the pursuits of peace, which, 

 it goes without saying, include the cele- 

 bration of this holiday, which has come 

 to be one of floral remembrances rather 

 than the old-time paper heart designs. 



Sweet peas and violets were the most 

 favored flowers of the day, violets being 

 restored to their old-time popularity for 

 the day. 



Ordinary business also has been satis- 

 factory, although there are not always 

 enough blooms tb go around, the demand 

 continuing strong, due to the continuous 

 funeral work and a few orders for social 

 affairs. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, who has been an 

 indefatigable promoter of War Savings 

 since the inauguration of the- movement, 

 has a self-imposed personal quota of 

 $25,000 for 1919 and confidently expects 

 to go over the top with it. Her window 

 display, however, is less conspicuous 

 than during the earlier days, owing to 

 the attempted robbery a few months 

 ago, when the thieves succeeded only in 

 breaking the plate glass, without getting 

 away with the War Savings' stamps. 

 Mrs. Sheaff, the wife of Mrs. Williams' 

 manager, Harvey C. Sheaff, is equally 

 enthusiastic in helping Uncle Sam to 

 meet his financial obligations. 



Miss Mary Catherine Thompson, a 

 student of the University of Pittsburgh, 

 who spent the Christmas holidays with 

 Randolph & McClements, has been per- 

 manently engaged for evening and holi- 

 day work.

 they now have a magnificent showing

On every side one hears expressions of 

 regret that George W. Marshall has 



severed his connection with Pittsburgh 

 and the McCallum Co. He was popular 

 with the western Pennsylvania trade, 

 both retail and wholesale, as well as 

 with the commercial traveling contin- 

 gent, and, what is better, he was con- 

 sidered an exemplary, all-around good 

 citizen, and the good wishes of his fel- 

 low townsmen follow him in his new ven- 

 ture. Mr. Marshall left February 15 

 for Okmulgee, Okla., where he will en- 

 gage in the retail florists ' business. Mrs. 

 Marshall, who has relatives there, re- 

 mained when she and her husband went 

 on for a visit shortly after the holidays-
