Various Notes. 



The friends of Edwin R. Armstrong, 

 who is doing nicely in his retail store 

 at 2.810 North Clark street, will learn 

 with regret of the death of Mr. Arm- 

 strong's father, Richard R. Armstrong, 

 at Alexian Brothers hospital Septem- 

 ber 24. He had been in that institution 

 since June 12 and his death was a re- 

 lease from great suffering. 



Paul Richmond, formerly with C. A. 

 Samuelson and W. J. Smyth and well 



known in the trade in the east, left 

 September 30 for Salt Lake City, where 

 he will take charge of the retail store 

 of the Miller Floral Co., one of the 

 largest and finest in the country. 



L. R. Bohannon and wife have re- 

 turned from a trip to the Pacific coast 

 which the popular president of the Re- 

 tail Florists' Association describes as 

 the most delightful vacation and most 

 interesting trip he ever has had. He 

 says much of the pleasure was due to 

 the way they were taken in hand by 

 members of the trade in the places 

 visited, particularly at San Francisco 

 and Los Angeles. Coming home by way 

 of Kansas City, where Mr. Bohannon 



holds an interest in a prosperous flo- 

 rists' business, they were accompanied 

 by Mrs. F. R. Hills, formerly of May- 

 wood and well known here, who now 

 lives in Los Angeles. 



The greenhouses at 4309 North Fran- 

 cisco street have been operated under 

 a lease by George Bakaitis, the title 

 having been acquired by the Like 

 View State Bank under foreclosure. 

 • bank has found a purchaser for 

 the real estate and Mr. Bakaitis is sell- 

 ing out his stock and equipment. 



R. C. Riddell, of Louisa, Va., says he 

 ships $10,000 worth of boxwood sprays 

 to Chicago each season. 



John Poehlmann says that the scar-
