PORTLAND, OREGON 



Fillippi, of the Weslerii Evergreen Co. 

 of this city. Upon his return Mr. Jaeger 

 was pleased to find that business held 

 up well while he was away. 



Mrs. Copeland, who conducts the for- 

 mer Hannon establishment in Sutter 

 street, reports good business for this 

 time of the year. She already has some 

 nice orders booked for Fleet week. Her 

 '*^"g^ter, who is associated with her in 

 the business, is just recovering from a 

 serious illness. Mrs. Copeland says her 

 greatest difficulty at present is to get 

 experienced help. 



Julius Eppstein, proprietor of the St. 

 *ranei9 hotel stand, has just returned 



from a month's vacation, during which 

 he made a long automobile tour taking 

 in Yosemite valley. Lake Tahoe, Boise 

 Springs and other points of interest. 

 Miss Crosswaite, who serves the trade at 

 this stand, reports business fine and 

 says the patrons of the hotel are spend- 

 ing money more freely for flowers than 

 for several years. Mrs. Beecher is away 

 on her vacation. 



P. V. Matraia, of the Art Floral Co., 

 says business leaves nothing to be de- 

 sired. Summer trade has shown an in- 

 crease over last year's and all indica- 

 tions point to an excellent fall and 

 winter demand. 



Walter Hbff, of the MacRorie-Mc- 

 Laren Co., is expected back this week 

 from an automobile trip, which had as 

 its objective point Crater lake in south- 

 ern Oregon. Fred Bertrand, manager of 

 the retail end of the MacRorie-McLaren 

 Co., is devoting much time to prepara- 

 tions for Fleet week, which he thinks 

 will stimtilate business generally and 

 create quite an extra demand for cut 

 flowers, especially at the stand in the 

 Palace hotel. He is having a large sup- 

 ply of new baskets put in readiness for 

 early September orders and is making 

 improvements in the appearance of the 

 hotel stand.
