new location is about as near Michigan 

 avenue as the old one was to Wabash, 

 but that one block makes a surprising 

 difference in the class of trade. Mr. 

 Lange states that the average sale is 

 almost ten times the average sale at the 

 old place. Herbert Stone, who is Mr. 

 Lange 's manager, points out that the 

 facilities are adequate for handling 

 more customers than could be waited 

 on at the old stand, so that the chance 

 for growth is gr^t. In addition to the 

 store and workroom on the street floor, 

 there is *« big shipping, storage and 

 working space in the basement. 



Mr. Lange returned last week from 

 a vacation at Mount Clemens. Mrs. 

 Lange and their son. Homer, remained 

 for a few days longer. 



Briefs from Randall's. 



It is stated that the August billings 

 in the supply department are 200 per 

 cent ahead of a year ago. They exceed 

 by a large margin any other month in 

 the history of the A. L. Randall Co. 



The company's import orders for 

 Paper Whites this season total l,2r>0,000. 

 It is expected delivery will fall short 

 about 300,000. 



In the cut flower department the 

 chrysanthemum season opened Au- 

 gust 29. 



F. M. Johnson returned last week 

 from a business trip of 1,200 miles by 

 automobile in Michigan. One of his 

 visits was to the refrigerator factory 

 of the Randall-Johnson Co., at Traverse 

 City. They expect to make close to 

 .'i0,000 refrigerators there in the next 

 year. At the 8. A. F. convention a 

 sample automobile refrigerator was 

 shown and sold to W. V. (iude for $12; 

 it pleased Mr. Johnson to find that Al- 

 bert Pochelon had one like it, from the 

 same factory before it came under the 

 Randall management, for which he had 

 paid $15. 



A. L. Randall has had a busy sum 

 mer. He started on his vacation Sep 

 tember 2, with his family in the Cadil- 

 lac, intending to drive to Mackinac 

 T land.

 part of the new commission-house law 

 referring to sending returns within 

 forty-eight hours; he was asked, does 

 it mean within forty-eight hours of the 

 receipt of tlu' consignment or of its 



sale? The ruling is that, unless other- 

 wise agreed between consignor and con- 

 signee, each shipment is to be consid- 

 ered a separate transaction and reported 

 on within forty-eight hours of receipt;
