SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from pafife 46.] 



sick list as the result of overwork, but 

 she is expected back at the store again 

 in a few days. Meanwhile business is 

 reported good by her staff. A good 

 many chrysanthemums are still being 

 shipped daily and violet shipments are 

 gaining in proportions rapidly as the 

 season advances. 



The California Floral Co., on Cali- 

 fornia street, near Hyde, is looking for- 

 ward to an excellent Thanksgiving trade 

 and is making preparations accordingly. 



G. Kosaia, of Bosaia Bros., Seattle, 

 Wash., has returned home after spend- 

 ing a month in San Francisco. His 

 brother, P. L. Bosaia, with the Art Flo- 

 ral Co., in this city, was home for a 

 week taking care of other members of 

 the family down with influenza. He 

 escaped and is back on duty as usual. 



Julius Eppstein, who conducts the 

 flower stand in the St. Francis hotel, 

 expected to be called for army service 

 before this, but doubts now whether he 

 will even get to the training camp. 

 During the epidemic there was practi- 

 cally no call for flowers, he says, except 

 funeral orders, so it seems good to have 

 interest return in social work. He has 

 a nice wedding decoration for next 

 month. 



Mr. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, looks for a good Thanksgiving 

 business, on the assumption that people 

 have much to be thankful for this year 

 and will feel disposed to buy liberally. 

 He also anticipates a banner Christmas 

 trade. After the rush of funeral work, 

 he says it is a great relief to have con- 

 ditions return to normal. One day re- 

 cently his firm made five palls, besides a 

 large number of floral pieces. 



Everything is in readiness at B. M 

 Joseph's for a banner Thanksgiving 

 business. A specialty will be made of 

 fancy basket arrangements. 



A. J. Bossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., 

 says that while there are not nearly so 

 many funerals per day as was the case 

 for three or four weeks, there is still a 

 big call for funeral work, which he at- 

 tributes to the fact that burials are 

 not so rushed now, thus giving people 

 more chance to order flowers. He notes 

 a decided change in the attitude of 

 customers entering the store since the 

 turn in international affairs. There is 

 more inclination toward joyousness and 

 less inclination to curtail on expendi- 

 tures. Mr. Bossi looks for many parties 

 and other social events to take place 

 this winter, which will make for good 

 business for the florists ' trade. He says 

 the demand for flowers held up well 

 during the war times, but he does not 

 question that peace conditions are more

Black Coal 



Help Save the "White 

 Coal of Industry" 



The boiling hot water resulting from condensation in 

 your steam lines is worth money. You have paid for 

 it in terms of coal. It contains valuable heat units. 

 It is the "White Coal of Industry" — it should not 

 be wasted. 



And it need not be wasted. The Morehead Back- to - 

 Boiler System will save it for you by returning it to 

 the boiler at temperatures as high as 400 degrees 

 Fahrenheit. It reduces coal consumption an average 

 of 20%. At the same time your steam will be 

 "drier" and more efficient; your production speeded 

 up and profits increased.

 head System will do in your plant.
