HEADQUARTERS 



For Florists' Ribbons, Chiffons and Novelties 



for tlie rosuinption of activity on the 

 part of the Florists' Club October 9. 

 No ineetiiijj lia;^ bfoii held since June. 



It may be true that on the whole the 

 l)lanting of <'arnations for this ni.arket 

 are not heavier than last season, but the 

 Weiland-Riscli Co., Kvanston, will do 

 quite a little to relieve the shortage. 

 Twelve houses, one entire range, which 

 were in vegetables last season, have 

 been ]>lanted to carnations again this 

 year. 



H. Van (Jelder, iiicsident of I'ercy 

 Jones, Inc., has not enjoyed liis usual 

 good health this summer, not liaving 

 fully recovered from last year's attack 

 of the i\u, but feels his old time "pep'' 

 returning with the autumn. 



The Everette R. Peacock ('o., 4(111 

 Milwaukee avenue, has found the flo- 

 rists' branch of its business ofi'ered 

 such a good opportunity that the ad- 

 joining luiibliug has been secured, an 

 ai'chway cut, connecting the seed store, 

 and the flowei- business installed in the 

 new sTtace. An entire set of new llower 

 store fixtures has been installed and the 

 store made the largest and most up-to- 

 date on the northwest side. Herbert 

 Stone, for eight years manager for A. 

 Lange, recently was i'ugageil to run the 

 flower department. The double front 

 makes a good show, half being used for 

 tlowers and half foi' seed (lis))lay. 



J. P. Di'gnan. of Henderson 's Seed 

 Store, comments on the increase in the 

 average size of the fall sales. He say.s 

 the average of retail sales has more than 

 iloubled, com)»ared with any recent 

 year, an iniprovenient only jiartly ac- 

 cf>unte<l for l>y the increase in ))rices. 



Mike Freres, who rectMitly has had 

 charge of the store work for the Ohio 

 Floral Co., returned to the wholesale dis- 

 trict October 0, taking a position with 

 A. T. Pyfer & Co. 



That former florist and florists' insur- 

 ance broker, Charles Hunt, now is store 

 manager for the Booth Fisheries Co., 

 State and Lake streets. 



Heaton Nichols has entered the era- 

 ploy of T. C. Fogarty & Co., proprie- 

 tors of Friedman's and the Ohio Floral 

 Co. Mr. Nichols will have his head- 

 quarters at the latter store, where 

 Frank Einweck will be his assistant.

Visitors. 



Fred Ciear, the widely known Cincin- 

 nati retailer, was here last week to root 

 for the Reds in the World's Series 

 games. Mr. (Jear is a man who puts his 

 whole soul into whatever he does. Usu- 

 ally it is flower selling, in which case 

 nothing is too big for him to tackle, but 

 when it is recreation's day, he lays 

 aside all else. Baseball had its inning 

 last week. 



Hans Tobler and his son, Hans, Junior, 

 were here last week, on their way from 

 Traverse City, Mich, to Sycamore, 111. 

 They have been negotiating for the pur-
