"Mr. Allen" Beappears. 



In The Review of September 9 Max 

 Schling, of New York, warned the trade 

 against one Arthur A. Allen, alleged to 

 be seeking employment by giving Mr. 

 Schling as reference and abusing the 

 confidence of those who trusted him. 



"William A. Allen recently was in the 

 employ of Harry 0. Eowe at his new 

 store on Sheridan road. Mr. Eowe has 

 a document bearing Allen 's signature in 

 which the siguer admits that he took 

 certain and various sums to which he 

 had no claim, but Mr. Rowe did not 

 cause Allen 's arrest, although he traced 

 the man's recent past and helped make 

 it impossible for him to obtain employ- 

 ment in certain other Chicago stores. 



Mr. Schling 's warning to the trade 



concluded : 



A •trong notice »hould be printed In such a 

 way that It will attract the attention of florists, 

 to the effect timt they should not engage a miin 

 who lii not known to the trade in their own city, 

 except wlien luformiition Is first obtained about 

 blm. The trade chould be protected as much ai 

 poaaible. 



Probably the next time "Mr. Allen" 



applies for a job it will be under some 



other name. 



Various Notes.

 of the veterans, is reported in this

William Collatz was in from May-

 rose plants in the ranges of the Albert 

 P. Amiing Co. rapidly are going off
