florists' sons not following in their 

 fathers' footsteps; we are told the boys 

 prefer the automobile business, the coal 

 trade, moving pictures, or some of the 

 newer pursuits. But there's nothing 

 like that at Poehlmann's. The cor- 

 poration was organized by three broth- 

 ers. Now they have four sons in the 

 business and a fifth member of the sec- 

 ond generation will take hold next year. 

 John Poehlmann assumed his father's 

 place in charge of the city store inter- 

 ests. August F. Poehlmann's sons, Ro- 

 land and Earl, have come into the busi- 

 ness. Roland completed the course in 

 floriculture at the University of Illi- 

 nois last June. At present he is getting 

 the point of view at the store, but soon 

 he will join the other boys at the green- 

 houses. Of Adolph Poehlmann's sons, 

 Walter is assisting his father. Morton 

 is working in the store this summer, but 

 has still another year to spend at West- 

 ern Military Academy, Alton, 111., after 

 which he also will put his shoulder to 

 the wheel at Morton Grove. 



Morton Grove began cutting indoor 

 carnations August 5 this year, the new 

 crop coming on before the last of the 

 old crop was thrown out. 



Jottings at Randall's. 



Edward Galavan, sales manager of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., devoted a large 

 share of last week to a school for sales- 

 men. Twelve graduates were added to 

 the road staff this week. The week be- 

 fore, eight now men completed the 

 course of instruction and went out after 

 orders. Mr. Galavan now has forty- 

 five salesmen on the road. 



The company has opened a new sales- 

 room in the basement of the Lemoyne 

 building. 



F. M. Johnson returned August 16, 

 after spending a week with the Johnson- 

 Randall interests at Traverse City, 

 Mich., and a few days motoring for 

 pleasure. 



Arthur M. Anderson has just com- 

 pletei and occupied a 9-room residence

Various Notes. 



During the week Vincent Neil was 

 in New York for the A. B. ('. He dug 

 l,8(ifi cases of French bulbs out of 



7,000 cases dumped on the docks by 

 three steamers. Three cars were shipped 

 to Chicago, one to Cleveland and one 

 to Detroit for distribution, while the 

 balance were distributed direct from 

 New York. Several million cyclamen 

 seeds were dispatched from the Chi«a£^«
