until late in the evening. The attend- 

 ance, which included both Mr. Randall 

 and F. M. Johnson and their families, 

 totaled several hundreds. The sports 

 committee, headed by A. L. Rohn and 

 H, B. Dahlberg, had prepared a pro- 

 gram of fourteen events ranging from 

 races for the girls to tug-of-war and 

 baseball for the men. All were hotly 

 contested, but there are indications that 

 the white collar staff at "One-eighty" 

 proved no match for the Factory force. 

 The company furnished handsomu 

 prizes. 



The scene was White Eagle grove in 

 the Forest Preserve in the town of 

 Lyons. There were music, dancing and 

 refreshments for all. 



The arrangements were in the hands 

 of a committee of the workers headed 

 by: Chas. Roth, honorary chairman; 

 H. Goetz, chairman; H. A. Vanandaigue, 

 vice chairman; H. G. Wilkerson, secre- 

 tary and treasurer; Aug. J. Kohansky, 

 refreshments. 



Vaiious Notes. 



The wholesalers are paying $.jO a ton 

 for overissued newspapers for use in 

 packing. In the old days of plenty 

 they were to be had at $8.

 July 23, at John Robinson hospital, 

 Allegan, Mich. The youngstcy 's parents 

 are well known in the trade, the father, 

 Clarence Ellsworth, being a member of 

 the Kidwell Co. and for several years 

 manager of the Michigan avenue store. 

 The mother was Miss Marguerite Kane 

 McNulty, a capable member of Peter 

 Reinberg's staff before her marriage. 



A business proposition has brought 

 John P. Degnan back from the coast 

 rather sooner than he expected. 



John Poehlmann has returned from an 

 enjoyable outing at Nantucket, the first 

 he had spent on salt water. He spent 

 July 26 in the New York wholesale cut 

 flower district, informing himself on 

 the methods in vogue there.

IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO 



that we submitted to the commercial 

 flower growers a most feasible plan of conduct- 

 ing the wholesale COMMISSION business 

 "UNDER GROWERS' SUPERVISION." 



There was never any doubt in our mind 

 as to our making a greater success of whole- 

 saling "UNDER GROWERS' SUPER- 

 VISION," but we hardly anticipated the grow- 

 ers' almost unanimous approval of it. 



The fact is that our CUT FLOWER

 SIVELY more than TREBLED in the LAST 

 FOUR YEARS.
