ive members. At the meeting named for 

 February 16, nine directors will be 

 elected, each branch of the trade in the 

 meantime nominating three men it de- 

 sires as its representatives. 



Progress since the first meeting was 

 more rapid than had been expected un- 

 der the existing conditions. The rush 

 of work allowed few retailers time to do 

 much canvassing. Yet over 100 new 

 names were reported. Some of the dis- 

 trict captains reported that they had 

 obtained signatures of 100 per cent of 

 the florists called upon. The territory 

 is divided into districts as follows:

The plan proposed for Chicago fol- 

 lows closely that in operation in Mil- 

 waukee, save that the wholesalers will 

 contribute one per cent of their com- 

 missions and be paid for the extra ex- 

 pense of bookkeeping from the general 

 fund, with the provision that such ex- 

 pense shall not be more than one-half 

 of the wholesaler's contribution. The 

 allowance for bookkeeping expenses was 

 decided upon after some discussion, the 

 original plan of one per cent plus book- 

 keeping being considered too heavy a 

 share for the wholesalers, although that 

 was the decision of their committee re- 

 ported by Paul Klingsporn and Eric 

 Johnson to the meeting. 



The allied trades will be called to a 

 conference by Fred Lautenschlager to 

 determine the basis for their payments.
