 or twice for a few minutes. His friends 

 were much alarmed lest the bad cold 

 should develop into pneumonia. 



It was fifty years ago March 17 that 

 C. F. Olaussen & Sons started in business 

 at Fifty-second street and Western ave- 

 nue. They are pickle packers, but C. 8. 

 Claussen is the silent partner in Bon- 

 valiet & Co., who were the largest ship-

 of flowers was gone. 



In spite of misfortune of the double- 

 barreled variety, Jensen Bros., ;?33r) Lin- 

 c(dn avenue, are not downhearted. One 

 member of the firm is in a hospital and 

 the concern is just recovering from a 

 fire at the store two weeks ago, which 

 did damage estimated at $400. The loss, 

 however, was covered by insurance. 

 (George W. Jensen says tliat business has 

 changed wonderfully, and for the bet- 

 ter, in the last six months. He adds 

 that the firm's Valentine day business 

 increased seventy-five per cent. Jen-

 wants to receive The Review with a view- 

 to getting back into the trade as soon 

 as he gets honu', whicli may })e in two 

 months, or six. The official designation 

 of his unit is 100th Aero Scjuadroii, 2d

 Boys, not far from his place. At times 

 lie has had as many as fifteen of the

 Under careful supervision he found tlu'ui 

 capable workers and quick to res])on(l 

 to good treatment. Now that the war

 go back on the boys who want to work.
