TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



The industrial unrest has not as yet 

 made any depression in the trade here. 

 Everyone seems to he optimistic as to 

 the coming season. There is little hope 

 that jirices will drop to any extent in 

 other lines. 



Various Notes. 



.\t a sjiecial meeting of the Toledo 

 Florists' Association a resolution was 

 l)assed according to which all flower 

 stores are to keep their doors locked 

 on Sunday, but it will be permissible to 

 hook phone, wire or othe"r'orders taken 

 outside of the store for future delivery. 

 But no flowers or plants are to be de- 

 livered or given away or to leave the 

 premises on Sunday. Max Spanner, 

 Frank Schramm and Walter Crause were 

 appointed a committee to call on those 

 not represented. In case a unanimous 

 opinion does not prevail, the matter will 

 be taken to the mayor and city council, 

 to make the resolution a city ordinance. 



Scottwood Greenhouses reported a 

 wedding of unusual proportions last 

 week. House, church and a tent on the 

 spacious lawn were lavishly decorated. 

 For this 1,000 chrysanthemums from the 

 coast were a great help, since the home- 

 grown mums are not ready. Thomas 

 Magee was fortunate in getting the as- 

 sistance of Lorin Hicks from Metz & 

 Rateman. Mr. Hicks is leaving shortly 

 for Los Angeles, where he expects to 

 make his future home. 



Max Spanner gains considerable trade 

 through his well kept windows. Busi- 

 ness seems to be steady and on the good 

 side here. 



Metz & Bateman have redecorated 

 their entire store and moved some coun- 

 ters and cases to give more room. They 

 are well pleased with their new loca- 

 tion. Since their advent here the sur- 

 rounding leaseholds have all been taken 

 up, principally by corporate interests, 

 so that future prosperity is assured. 



Charles M. BalluflF, at J. B. Free- 



man's, reports four large weddings for 

 November and believes that this season 



will surpass all previous marks for this 

 firm. H. E. K.
