The plain lesson to the trade is not 

 to cut the time too close at Christmas. 



Bandall's Seimion. 



The convention of the salesmen of 

 the A. L. Bandall Co., an annual affair, 

 was held December 29 and 30. There 

 were fifty-five salesmen present, some 

 coming from such distant points as Bos- 

 ton, Los Angeles and Galveston. The 

 business conferences, two a day, were 

 held in the big display room on the 

 third floor of the Lemoyne building. 

 One of the special purposes was to 

 acquaint the salesmen with Bandall's 

 sources of supply and as a means to that 

 end Sales Manager Edward Galavan 

 had prepared a stereopticon lecture a la 

 Burton Holmes, entitled, "A Trip 

 Through Randall Land." The slides 

 showed the company's connections in 

 France, Italy, Holland, China and 

 Japan, the outfit in the Wisconsin moss 

 swamps and the five factories outside 

 of Chicago now operated by the Randall 

 interests. While most of the time was 

 devoted to serious consideration of sales 

 problems, recreation was provided in 

 the form of a theater party at the 

 Palace, December 29, and a banquet 

 during the evening of December 30 in 

 the Crystal room of the Hotel Sherman. 

 About 175, including salesmen, depart- 

 ment heads and assistants, were present 

 at the latter event. 



Us In the Association of Commerce. 



The Chicago Association of Commerce 

 held an election the other day, each 

 one of the fifty-five business sub- 

 divisions electing representatives on the 

 ways and means committee of the 

 association. The florist and seedsman 

 members of the organization are grouped 

 together in subdivision No. 22. The elec- 

 tion to the ways and means committee

Various Notes. 



An attempt was made to further the 



community advertising plans by means 

 of a meeting of committees representing 

 retailers, growers and wholesalers, 

 called for the afternoon of December 

 27, at the office of H. V. Swenson & Co.
