Fred Kiel, manager of the Florists' 

 Supply House, has had the reputation of 

 being a good salesman, but here's one 

 that beats all records: While passing 

 the market house the other evening, 

 Mr. Kiel stopped to buy a watermelon 

 from a tired, weak-voiced huckster, who 

 had a whole truckload of melons left. 

 While making the transaction, the 

 huckster complained of having been 

 there all day, selling less than a dozen 

 melons. "You don't go at it right," 

 said Mr. Kiel, and proceeded to show 

 him. He soon had a large crowd around 

 him. "Right this way, ladies and gen- 

 tlemen; taste this melon, sweet as 

 sugar," as he sliced out a generous 

 piece. "Let me pick you out a goad 

 one," as he thumped one, then put it 

 back for the next customer and thumped 

 another. They sold like hot cakes and 

 in an hour and twenty minutes the 

 truck was empty. The farmer shook 

 his head. It was too deep for him. 

 But we all agree with him that Fred 

 Kiel is "some salesman." 



John Grande, Jr., has gone on a motor 

 trip to Niagara Falls, Buffalo, New 

 York, Washington, D. C, and other 

 points. He expects to be gone about 

 three weeks. 



Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson has arrived 

 for the F. T. D. meeting and is at the 

 Claypool hotel. 



Edward Grande has just returned 

 from a five weeks ' fishing trip in Minne- 

 sota, where his luck was better than 

 ever. To prove this, he brought home a 

 number of fine specimens. 



John Grande and William Hack are 

 cutting some of the first pink chrysan- 

 themums. 



Indianapolis and vicinity were visited 

 by the first frost of the season, Septem- 

 ber 30. Outside stock that was not 

 killed was badly damaged, so that gar- 

 den flowers are now practically a thing 

 of the past. 



The plan to straighten Illinois street 

 at Sixteenth street has now been 

 adopted. This will necessitate consid- 

 erable alteration at the store of the
