Everette E. Peacock Co., 4013 Milwau- 

 kee avenue, has been remodeled and en- 

 larged. The president, treasurer and 

 secretary now have separate enclosed 

 offices fronting on North Cicero avenue 

 and the office force has new quarters 

 and appointments in the part formerly 

 used for storing seeds, etc. The store 

 has been refitted with new shelving and 

 counters and a store manager's and 

 cashier's office has been placed in front, 

 commanding a view of the entire store. 

 New stock is being placed on the shelves 

 for Christmas and altogether the prem- 

 ises take on the appearance of greatly 

 improved facilities for handling in- 

 creasing business. 



R. E. Kurowski, manager of the John 

 C. Moninger Co., states that since No- 

 vember 20 no day has passed without 

 his concern booking at least one order 

 for materials for greenhouse construc- 

 tion. The orders are not large, but in 

 the aggregate they represent the heav- 

 iest booking the company ever has done 

 at this time of year. 



Quoting C. J. Michelsen: "For Christ- 

 mas there will be more flowers than 

 some people think." 



The "flu" has invaded the office of 

 Kennicott Bros. Co., keeping two of the 

 force at home. 



After serving nearly a year in the 

 navy, stationed at the Municipal pier, 

 B. J, Delinke has been released and is 

 back in civilian clothes. Mr. Delinke 

 owned a store on West Chicago avenue 

 before entering the navy, selling out be- 

 fore he went into the service. He in- 

 tends opening a new store in the spring. 

 Peter Schousboe, foreman of the 

 Peter Reinberg greenhouses, says he is 

 well pleased with the crops cut so far
