the death of her husband, Elmer Sig- 

 walt, has decided to sell the property, 

 which has just been released by the 

 Probate court, unless she can find a com- 

 petent working manager. Mrs. Sigwalt 

 has demonstrated her ability as a busi- 

 ness woman, but she has three small 

 children who need her attention. The 

 glass is in roses. 



Something approaching a record has 

 been made in starting the business of 

 the Weiss-Spandikow Co., at Rhodes, 

 just north of Maywood. It was not 

 until late March that the organization 

 was completed. Construction was be- 

 gun in April, on four houses, each 36x- 

 400. The place is finished, in model 

 shape, planted to roses and cutting will 

 begin early in October.

 days at the Dells of Wisconsin. Mr. 

 Erne drove his car, going by way of 

 Lake Geneva. They returned Septem-

P. C. Schupp returned September 16 

 from a long vacation trip which did 

 him much good. 



John Poehlmann is at Three Lakes, 

 Wis., having left Stone Lake on ac- 

 count of the poor fishing. He now is 

 catching a lot of fish. 



T. E. Waters, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., left September 13 for a few days' 

 business trip. He went to Minneapolis, 

 St. Paul and other points in the vicinity

 Chalmers car.

 interests with which he has been iden- 

 tified for some years. 



Mr. Williams, of Williams & Co., was 

 here last week to order stock for the 

 largest wedding decoration ever put up 

 in South Bend. His shipments from the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 September 15 and 16 exceeded $1,500.

WHAT EVERY GROWER WILL DO 



A grower who is fair and impartial and not restricted 

 in his judgment in choosing a wholesale cut flower 

 commission house will endorse our NEW SERVICE. 



No supervision, no regulation, no protection was 

 adequately provided to a grower in the old practices 

 of commission wholesaling. 



OUR REPORT OF SALES ANSWERS ALL 

 QUESTIONS, and is proof of 'highest prices." It 

 substantiates the lowest and the highest selling prices 

 within the CHICAGO MARKET. It tells just what 

 every grower ought to know. If for no other reason, the 

 statistical value of our SALES REPORT alone is 

 sufficient to encourage consignments to us.
