 old store. It will be fitted up with 

 handsome fixtures. Large show win- 

 dows face Eighth street. 



The St. Louis district branch of the 

 National Flower Growers' Association

 cember 14 at publicity headquarters, 

 1316 Pine street, the office of the secre- 

 tary. 



The Saturday and Sunday hospital 

 fund collection days, November 27 and 

 28, created a considerable demand for 

 flowers to decorate the booths at the 

 various leading hotels and bank build- 

 ings. In one booth was a sign read- 

 ing: "You say it with a -Tag and we 

 will 'Say It with Flowers,' " and each 

 contributor was handed a flower.

 now being staged. 



The Washington avenue store of 

 Grimm & Gorly was a regular mum 

 show during Thanksgiving week and
