The Florists' Revkw 



NOTIUBEB 14, 1918. 



voted to name a representative. But 

 that's over now. 



Reports were made by several of the 

 committees, the most important of them 

 being from T. E. Waters, chairman 

 of the good-of-the-club committee, who 

 gave a review of the work accomplished 

 by the committee during the year. Mr. 

 Waters, while at Cleveland recently, 

 saw the club film showing all branches 

 of the florists ' , trade, and on behalf 

 of the Chicago Florists ' Club Mr. Waters 

 asked that the film be sent here, to 

 be shown at the next meeting. The club 

 gave its hearty approval. 



A "Victory" banquet was suggested 

 to be held during December for all mem- 

 bers of the club and their friends and 

 to be also a ladies' night. An exhibi- 

 tion of Christmas novelties from all 

 branches of the trade also was suggested 

 in conjunction with the banquet. This 

 was put to a vote, passed and turned 

 over to the sports and pastimes com- 

 mittee for action, it being understood 

 that expenses were not to be defrayed 

 by the club but by those attending. 



Applications were received from 

 Harry E. Neve, Grant Wiffin and X. 

 Wojtkiewicz, all from Des Plaines, 111. 

 Albert Berlin was elected a member. 



President Lautenschlager, due to his 

 good work during the Fourth Liberty 

 Loan drive as chairman of Division 19-B, 

 was asked by the officials of the Na- 

 tional War Work Campaign to act as 

 chairman of the entire division, but 

 felt obliged to decline. The club ap- 

 pointed Secretary Zech to act for the 

 florists and allied trades. 



Various Notes. 



It is reported that Anton Then has 

 sold his greenhouses to the American 

 House Wrecking Co., for removal from 

 the property. 



Chrysanthemum pot plants never sold 

 out so early in the season as they have 

 done this year, according to Frank 

 Oechslin. Mr. Oechslin is looking for 

 a record Christmas business this year 

 and had begun his preparations for it 

 long before peace was in prospect. He 

 has received a quantity of the Pacific 

 coast azalea plants, but not his full 

 order. 



C. J. Michelsen spent November 13 at 

 Richmond, Ind., looking over the Hills' 

 stock for Thanksgiving. 



Joy again reigns in the home of Ed- 

 mund Misiewicz, the Milwaukee avenue 

 florist, as a gold service star has turned 

 back to blue. Zygmund Misiewicz, his 

 son, was among the first of the boys of 

 the A. E. F. to arrive in France and 

 was wounded July 26, according to a 

 letter received from an army chaplain, 

 who stated that he had died and was 

 buried August 6. This report reached 

 his parents October 10, but some mis- 

 take evidently was made, as the regular 

 government notice was received by his 

 parents last week, with the information 

 that the boy is in a hospital in France. 

 He is well known throughout the mar- 

 ket. 



A prosperous looking gentleman en- 

 tered tlie store of W. J. Smytli one day 

 last week with the remark that he owed 

 a little bill and that it had occurred 

 to him to save a stamp by paying it in 

 person. Imagine tlie cashier's surprise 

 when it proved to be A. J. Burt, of 

 Spokane, Wa.sh. It was a telegrajih de- 

 livery order from Mr. Smvth's card in 

 the Pink Part of The Review. The 

 errand which called Mr. Burt to Chicago 

 was the consummation of a wedding.
