FLOWERS SEEK TO RULE. 



Weeds may crowd out flowers, but the 

 illustration shows flowers crowding out 

 the other departments in the shop of 

 Laura H. Hubble, Springfield, Mo. 

 Her original business interest lay in 

 hand-made blouses and various novel- 

 ties relative to the needle-and-thread 

 side of domestic art, but a short time 

 ago she added flowers to her business. 

 The picture tells the story. The natural 

 tendency of all people to "Say It with 

 Flowers," to use the living blooms as 

 their colorful messengers, affected her 

 trade as it has affected other similar 

 enterprises. The flower side of the house 

 is growing daily. 



USINGER'S UTTERANCES. 



W. ]■:. V. w eber, of Sault Ste. Marie, 

 Mich., is getting ready for his annual 

 camp in the woods in search of deer. 

 Business has been a little slow during 

 the last two months, but a noticeable 

 increase has been apparent in the last 

 week or two. The greenhouses are in 

 good shape and some fine stock is being 



cut.

Mr. Freyling, of the Wealthy Avenue 

 Floral Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., has for 

 many years designed gardens and es- 

 tates for the people of that city, but at 

 present he is busy constructing one of 

 ins own, in the rear of his residence. It 

 is to be an Italian garden and will ad- 

 join the side entrance of the store. This 

 will be an attractive feature for this 

 store and incidentally be a good adver- 

 tisement.

"Business is going strong," com- 

 mented Arthur Crabb, of Grand Rapids, 

 "both in funeral work and social func- 

 tions." Mr. Crabb recently welcomed 

 the third member to his household, a 



girl.

A fine display of cut flowers was seen 

 in the store of Henry Smith, Grand 



Rapids. The continued rush of busi- 

 ness keeps everyone in the store busy.

Crabb & Hunter, Grand Rapids, have 

 recently moved into the Pantlind hotel 

 building. The store has a large window 

 display at the main entrance of the 

 hotel ;ni(| a good view can be had from

 windows.

G. H. Harrison & Son, of Cheboygan, 

 Midi., Iiave no worries on account of

 heart of the forest, he has little trouble 

 in getting it. w. T. U.
