ceived from Arthur Eiehel, Charles 

 Grabig, B. E. Gould, Richard J. Gould, 

 Peter Hoefeld, D. F. Simonds, John 

 Curres, Michael Kedden, Eoy White, F. 

 W. Elverson and Miss Florence Keenan. 

 Miss Keenan is the first lady florist to 

 ask for membership in the club and it 

 ■was decided to accept her application 

 and that of any other lady in the trade 

 who cares to become a member. In fact, 

 it is the view of many that it would be 

 to the advantage of the club, as there 

 are ladies in the trade who are leaders 

 in the profession. 



New Stores. 



It is reported that A. C. Eocca and 

 Miss Lewisi who have been members of 

 John Mangel 's force, have leased a store 

 in the Cable building, on Jackson boule- 

 vard, and will go into business there as 

 soon as the quarters can be fitted up. 



H. Shaeffer will open a new retail 

 store at 5518 West Chicago avenue about 

 March 22. The refrigerator and fix- 

 tures are now being installed by the A. 

 L. Bandall Co. 



Oeorge Willens Comes Baxik. 



George Willens, who first was doing 

 war work and then was drafted into the 

 army, has come back into the florists' 

 trade. As before the war, he will do 

 business as the Willens Construction 

 Co. In addition to supplying greenhouse 

 material and taking greenhouse erection 

 contracts, he will deal in various acces- 

 sories. Among other things he has a 

 dealers' agency for a hot spot for Ford 

 delivery ears which is proving a good 

 seller among florists. 



Various Notes. 



It is the opinion of Ed Enders that 

 the retail end of the flower business has 

 profited least of all by the conditions of 

 the last five or six months. He believes 

 the retailer who has made a good living 

 has done well, but that the growers have 

 \>een able to add materially to their 

 reserves. 



The first Japanese lily bulbs of the 

 1918 crop to reach Chicago were re- 

 ported last week by the American Bulb 

 Co. While the bulk of the shipment was 

 auratum and speciosum, it is intimated

POINTS

 SECOND-The organization of the CHICAGO WHOLESALE CUT FLOWER ASSOCIATION. 

 THIRD -The organization of the CHICAGO RETAIL FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION. 



FOURTH— THE FINAL TRIUMPH of an organization, about to be formed, of CUT FLOWER 

 GROWERS shipping to the Chicago MARKET— 



This completes the chain for the RIGHT KIND of COOPERATION. 



The above program is formulated in the demands made in the FAMOUS 

 GROWERS' PETITION of 1916, whose resolutions were THEN as NOW. 

 EXCLUSIVELY accepted, endorsed, enforced by us, contributing our 

 share towards the progress made.

 SALE HOUSE of the FUTURE." of 

 which the IXORISTS' EXCHANGE 

 says in part: "Let us hope that the 

 work of the night will not cease with

 TURE,' not alone In Chicago, but in 

 other civic centers."
