Bernard J. Schmierer, proprietor of 

 the North Shore Floral Co., has recently 

 by act of court changed his name to 

 Bernard J. Sherman. 



An attractive book of 150 papes is 

 entitled "The Forest Preserves of Cook 

 County" and has a handsome portrait of 

 Peter Reinberg as the frontispiece. As 

 president of the board of county com- 

 missioners Mr. Reinberg also is presi- 

 dent of the Forest Preserve commis- 

 sioners of Cook county and it has been 

 largely due to his efforts that the Forest 

 Preserve district has been developed so 

 rapidly. In two years' time over 13,000 

 ^cres have been acquired at the low cost 

 of about $5,000,000, The tracts form a 

 perfect chain of woodland a few miles 

 outside the city and some day will con- 

 stitute a world's marvel as a public park 

 system. The commissioners serve with- 

 out pay and it has been Mr. Reinborg's 

 pleasure to devote a large share of his 

 time to the development of the system. 

 Those who are interested in the book 

 descriptive of the work thus far accom- 

 plished can obtain it without cost on ap- 

 plication at the offices in the County 

 building.

The Chicago Florists' Club will meet 

 December 5 at the Randolph hotel, Ran- 

 dolph and Wells streets, at 8 p. m. A 

 big meeting is looked for, as the election 

 of officers for the ensuing year will take 

 place and many papers of interest held 

 over from the last meeting will be read. 



Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich., 

 will send to A. T. Pyfcr & Co. several 

 of their late-flowering chrysanthemums, 

 which will be displayed at the Chicago 

 Florists' Club meeting December 5. 



The loop florists, including many of 

 the trade's leaders, have shown unusual 

 taste this week in their window decora- 

 tions and an inspection of the various 

 shops shows that the windows attract 

 the attention of many passers-by. 



Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, com- 

 ments on the rose situation up to 

 Thanksgiving. He states that his house 



never has realized such prices as those 

 of this autumn and that price does not 

 doter the buyers who want extra fancy 

 stock, particularly choice Russell and 

 Milady, which have brought as high as 

 60 cents apiece. 



O. A. & L. A. Tonner have taken ad- 

 ditional space on the fourth floor of the 

 Atlas block in order to carry enough 

 holiday supplies to handle their orders. 

 Miss O. A. Tonner says that the extra 

 space is only taken temporarily, but it 

 is hoped that business will continue so 

 that it can be kept permanently. 



F. J. Rioux, in charge of the refrigera- 

 tor department of the A. L. Randall Co., 

 reports that since the armistice has been 

 signed inquiries for new refrigerators 

 have been coming in heavily; there is no 

 doubt in his mind that a big business 

 will be done in this line from now on.
