Mantlon The H«t1cw wh>n ysn write 



resulted in Mr. Eandall and associates 

 taking over the establishment of the 

 Traverse City Refrigerator Co., at 

 Traverse City, Mich. Manufacturing 

 conditions there are thought to be much 

 better than at Chicago and the deal 

 puts them in possession of a fully 

 equipped factory with ample opportu- 

 nity for expansion. It is planned to 

 raise the output, first to fifty and then 

 to 100 refrigerators per day. Edward 

 Soderberg has gone to Traverse City to 

 take charge of the financial manage- 

 ment. 



July Weather. 



The summer has been bad for growers 

 of outdoor stock, which includes car- 

 nation growers, whose plants were or 

 still are in the fields. Following the 

 hottest June on record, July was warm 

 and dry. The mean temperature was 6 

 degrees above that of July, 1918, and 

 nearly as much above normal. The pre- 

 cipitation was only 1.59 inches, almost 

 all on the last day of the month, con- 

 stituting a record for dryness for thirty 

 consecutive days. There was eighty-six 

 per cent of the possible number of 

 hours of sunshine, or fifteen per cent 

 more than normal, adding nothing to the 

 joy of life under glass. 



Various Notes. 



Frank McCabe was buried August 1 

 at the old home of the family at Mt. 

 Sterling, 111. There were services for 

 Chicago friends, in a chapel on North 

 Western avenue, the evening before, at 

 which there was a large attendance and 

 a display of flowers which spoke elo- 

 quently of the high esteem in which Mr. 

 McCabe was held. In the party which 

 escorted the remains to Mt. Sterling 

 were five of Mr. McCabe 's associates 

 with the A. L. Randall Co., Eric John- 

 son, George Haase, W. C. Florentine, 

 Cassimir Gouza and Fred Nordley. John 

 and Ned Gannon also were there. When 

 last week's Review brought the sad 

 news of Mr. McCabe 's drowning to his 

 old customers in all parts of the coun- 

 try the Randall concern was in receipt 

 of many expressions of sorrow and sym- 

 pathy to be sent on to his mother and 

 the family.

For YOUR Consignments — 



A business-like statement is presented to the COMMER- 

 CIAL GROWER. 



THOSE who have made a comparison of our SALES RE- 

 PORTS were astonished at what our figures will show and 

 all that it has to tell about the prices on everything they 

 grow. 



It embodies also our sincerity towards the grower that this 

 Commission House is conducted on a real CO-OPERATIVE 

 BASIS that distinguishes it as being TRUE to NAME. 



For REAL CO-OPERATION, co-operate with US.
