WE DON'T PRETEND 



TO COMPETE WITH THOSE WHO FEATURE PRICE INSTEAD 

 OF QUALITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME OUR PRICES NEVER

cember 21, which was Sunday, funeral 

 work aggregating nearly $2,000 was 

 taken in. Most of it was at the Audi- 

 torium at 3 p. m., when the memorial 

 service was held, although a part was 

 not wanted until the funeral the next 

 morning. There was a casket cover and 

 several unusually large wreaths. 



A large storage refrigerator was in- 

 stalled, by the Central Eefrigerator & 

 Equipment Co., in the Atlas block store 

 of Frank S. Ayres, just in time for 

 Christmas. 



The Cook County Forest Preserve, of 

 which Peter Eeinberg is president, is 

 developing a splendid natural park belt 

 in the district in which many growers 

 are located. Within the last few days 

 the commission has purchased forty 

 acres in the township of Elk Grove. 

 Salt creek winds through it. It is south- 

 west of Arlington Heights. In Niles 

 township sixty-one acres have been pur- 

 chased. The land is between Niles and 

 Morton Grove. 



N. J. Wietor has concluded that Pre- 

 mier is the greatest rose of the lot. It 

 will be much more extensively planted 

 next season by Wietor Bros. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co., the largest of 

 the local orchid growers, reports that

 something, according to A. J. Zech, but 

 he says his firm has attained it at a 

 material saving in money. Mr. Zech re- 

 fers to the Krpeschell ice machine which 

 has been in operation about six months. 

 His books show that an average ex- 

 pense of $100 per month for ice has 

 been reduced to about $60 per month as 

 the cost of ice for boxes and operating 

 the machine to cool the refrigerators. 

 The figures include interest on the 

 $2,000 invested. 



The American Bulb Co., having 



cleaned up on fall bulbs, is taking in- 



"Ventory prior to the arrival of two cars 



of cannas, caladiums and tuberoses 



now rolling. 



While W. Abrahamson, of the store 

 fixture department of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., was in Cleveland the other day he 

 booked the order of Paul Hahn, a live 

 retailer, for a large combination display 

 and storage refrigerator to take the 

 place of two boxes now in use.
