 Paul Klingsporn says they foresaw last 

 week's market conditions and made a 

 special effort for the southern business 

 on that account. It is his belief, how- 

 ever, that the bulk of the southern de- 

 mand was filled this year by chrysanthe- 

 mums from the Pacific coast, and he 

 says they have encountered several con- 

 cerns wholesaling cut flowers direct 

 from the greenhouses who are not doing 

 anything to keep the value of flowers 

 on the level with the value of other 

 commodities. 



Emil Buettner believes there will be 

 a radically different market condition 

 before Thanksgiving. He says the 

 warm weather has rushed into the mar- 

 ket supplies of stock which should have 

 been spread over several weeks and 

 that the inevitable result will be a cor- 

 respondingly short supply a little later.

 last year's unprecedented record, but

When Peter Reinberg returned from 

 his recent rest at West Baden he 

 plunged at once into work for the bond 

 issue projects put up to the voters at 

 the election November 4. Mr. Rein- 

 berg devotes the greater part of his 

 time to local improvement matters, for 

 which a coming generation probably 

 will erect a monument to his memory. 



Frank Sedlacek is starting in busi-

 hardy plants and plans to build green- 

 houses later. 



Fred Simon, formerly employed by 

 A. L. Randall Co. and Percy Jones, Inc., 

 was one of the last of the trade's rep- 

 resentatives in the big struggle to come 

 home from France. He has just made 

 his reappearance in the market, not as 

 a worker in it, but as a salesman for 

 Fulton motor trucks.
