side his store, but he has numerous 

 friends in the trade who remembered 

 that December 15 is his birthday an- 

 niversary. He is 51 years of age. 



One of those who make daily trips to 

 the market to purchase stock is J. C. 

 Wolf, of the Armitage Tlower Shop, 

 and, judging from the amount of stock 

 he carries away with him, business in 

 his neighborhood is excellent. Mr. 

 Wolf says that, although he is located 

 in a neighborhood where the people are 

 not wealthy, they pay the price for what 

 they want and do not quibble. 



Emil Buettner was 62 years of age 

 December 14. 



Joseph Ziska & Sons are greatly 

 handicapped during the present rush of 

 holiday business by the Spanish in- 

 fluenza having invaded their establish- 

 ment, laying up five of their wire work- 

 ers besides Joseph and Eaymond Ziska. 

 Eaymond's condition is said to be seri- 

 ous, while his brother expects to be back 

 at work soon. 



Fred Felsch, the surviving partner of 

 Felsch Bros., Maywood, is in ill health 

 and will sell out, seeking the chance to 

 get well again. The location is a good 

 one. 



Visitors. 



Buyers from a distance continue to 

 throng the market. There have been 

 more trade visitors in the last two weeks 

 than in any other like period in the his- 

 tory of the market. 



Among the week 's visitors was Julius 

 Snyder, of the B. A. Snyder Co., Boston. 

 He says his visit was purely one of ex- 

 ploration, because his concern does not 

 normally do business y?est of Rochester. 

 Mr, Snyder liked the looks of the Chi- 

 cago market, even under the present 

 condition of scarcity, remarking De- 

 cember 16 that one of the several prin- 

 cipal wholesalers here seemed to him to 

 have handled as many roses that day 

 as the Boston market will handle in a 

 week this season. Accused of not be- 

 ing literal, Mr. Snyder affirmed that he 

 meant it, every word of it. 



Gust Eusch, of the wholesale cut flow- 

 er and supply house of Milwaukee which 

 bears his name, came here last week to 

 look into the market condition for 

 Christmas.
