 and Julius Dilloff, the ribbon salesman. 

 New annual members are W. A. Hansen 

 and Albert Cole. 



The J. F. Kidwell Co., on Michigan 

 avenue, is getting everything done at 

 once. Everybody gets a vacation while 

 the store is in the hands of decorators. 

 The establishment is being brightened 

 up in every nook and corner. Just 

 enough attention is being given to busi- 

 ness to take care of the orders that come 

 in over the phone. 



A. Lange is on a two weeks' vacation 

 at Mount Clemens, Mich. He was right 

 handy to the Detroit convention. How- 

 ard Lange, the son, is in charge of the 

 store during his father's absence. 



The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.- 

 has added four new men to its force, 

 including two draftsmen, one corre- 

 spondent and a field man. 



Philip Schupp left August 19 for De- 

 troit to attend the convention and also 

 make a visit. He will be away about 

 two weeks. 



The J. Bombenger greenhouses at 6431 

 Woodlawn avenue are being dismantled. 

 It marks the passing of one of the old- 

 est florists' stands on the south side. 

 There were greenhouses there even be- 

 fore Woodlawn was a part of Chicago. 

 If Mr. Bombenger had hung on another 

 couple of months he would again have 

 been making money there. 



W. C. Florentine, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., left August 18 for Benton Harbor, 

 where he will stay a few davs. 



A. J. Zech left August 17'for the con- 

 vention. 



John Poehlmann left August 18 to at- 

 tend the convention. The company lias 

 a large display there. 



The news was received in the market 

 last week, from a concern in San Fran- 

 cisco, that the San Francisco commis- 

 sion florists are already sending daily 

 reports to the growers and are not per- 

 mitted to reconsign their shipments. 



C. L. Washburn and wife left August 

 18 for Detroit. Mrs. Washburn intends 

 to play in the golf tournament to be 

 held at the Detroit Golf Club. 



E. Meuret, of Des Plaines, was not able 

 to go to the convention at Detroit as he

 While in riiicago they received a tele- 

 gram that Mrs. Kerr's venerable father 



had been taken quite ill at their Texas 

 h6nie and Mrs. Kerr returned at once, 

 instead of going on to the convention.
