the "flu." Mrs. Reburn has been in 

 the American hospital for two weeks 

 with double pneumonia. 



John A. Michal intends to resume 

 control of the greenhouses at 7045-47 

 Stony Island avenue, leased for the last 

 two years to his brother, Joseph Michal. 

 He will continue the retail business and 

 grow for the wholesale market as well. 



It was August Poehlmann's lot to 

 spend the holidays in bed, with the 

 "flu." He has not been dangerously 

 ill, but it is the doctor's orders that he 

 take things easily for a while. 



That 1918 was the best year in the 

 history of the Weiland and Risch inter- 

 ests, either partnership or corporate, is 

 the report of John P. Risch. He says, 

 however, that the first nine months were 

 poor and that he attributes the profits 

 of the last quarter to the disaster which 

 overtook the country in the form of an 

 epidemic. He figures that peace was 

 only of secondary influence on the sale 

 of flowers. 



Mary Garden, whom we scarcely need 

 designate as "of" or "the," has a 

 pleasant little habit in line with our 

 trade slogan, "Sa^ It with Flowers." 

 Each time she receives an invitation in 

 society she sends a dozen Beauties. The 

 store that enjoys her patronage was one 

 of the biggest buyers of Beauties dur- 

 ing the holidays.

I A SERIOUS QUESTION | 



E Did you ever ask yourself the question why your business E 



= does not grow? If you have, you will find that your weakest E 



E point is your not knowing where to buy your merchandise at E 



E the lowest possible prices. If your profits are cut down your E 



= business will go down. S

E both of the quality and the price? = 



I WAX FLOWERS | 



E Mr. Florist, we have spent a fortune in perfecting our wax flowers so E 



E that tbey will look like the natural ones. Many successful florists have E 



S written us of the great aid these flowers give them in these times when nat- E 



= ural flowers are so high in price; and florists all over the country today are E 



E combining the naturalflowers with our artificial ones. ' If you have not learned E 



= this combination, why don't you just try to work in a few artificial Roses, E 



= Carnations, Sweet Peas, Callas, Easter Lilies, etc., along with your natural E 



E flowers in your floral pieces? In many cases you are really making a satis- E 



= fied customer. For your own sake just give us a trial order amounting to E 



= $25.00 or less and watch for results. S 



E Then again you should have some of our Wax Designs, Pillows, Crosses, = 



= Anchors, Sprays, Magnolia Wreaths, etc., just to make a display in your E 



= shop. If you have no display you will have no call for goods. A good dis- E 



E play means you are creating a demand for your goods. s 



E We guarantee that our prices are the lowest. E
