Betallers Organize. 



The organization of the Chicago Re- 

 tail Florists' Association was completed 

 at a meeting held at the Congress hotel 

 November 19. Officers were elected as 

 follows: 



President — L. E. Bohannon. 



Vice-president — A. Lange. 



Secretary — William Wienhoeber, 



Assistant Secretary — F. S. Webb, 168 

 North Michigan avenue. 



Treasurer — W. J. Smyth. 



The association starts off with twenty- 

 four charter members, the membership 

 fee being $25, and the list includes the 

 recognized leaders in the business. It 

 is planned to hold weekly meetings, prob- 

 ably during the luncheon hour, to dis- 

 cuss the general welfare of the retail 

 florists' business in Chicago. 



Various Notes. 



August Juergens sent the first Paper 

 Whites of the season to the market No- 

 vember 14. Their unusually early ar- 

 rival, following so closely on the heels 

 of the delivery of the French bulbs, at- 

 tracted unusual attention. The explana- 

 tion lies in the fact that the bulbs 

 forced were grown on Mr. Juergens' 

 own farm in Mississippi and reached 

 Chicago months ago. 



W. J. Smyth supplied 1,200 bouquets 

 this week for an affair at Medinah Tem- 

 ple, 600 on Tuesday evening and the 

 same number again on Thursday. 



Miss O. A. Tonner, of the firm that 

 bears her name, is of the opinion that 

 out-of-town trade fears a shortage of 

 supplies, which she says is evident by 

 the large number of Christmas supply 



orders already received, for immediate 

 shipment. 



Fred Nichlas, Jr., formerly with Peter 

 Reinberg, has gone into business for 

 himself, opening a cut flower and supply 

 house in the Atlas block. 



Those former florists, Lubliner & 

 Trinz, are still extending their moving 

 picture interests. November 18 they 

 took over the lease of the Lakeside thea- 

 ter, 4730 Sheridan road, for a term of 

 five and one-half years at a reported an- 

 nual rental of $12,100. The theater has 

 a seating capacity of about 1,000 and 

 is the eleventh in the Lubliner & Trinz 

 string. 



F. M. Johnson says he is looking for- 

 ward to the greatest buying season the 

 florists' supply trade ever has known. 

 While business has been good daring
