EMPLOYMENT CONTBACT. 



Aoeording to the decision of the Penn- 

 sylvania Supreme court in the case of 

 Stolowitz vs. Roseman, 107 Atlantic Re 

 jjorter, 322, a written contract of em- 

 ployjncnt may validly provide that the 

 om{)loyeo will not for a period of one 

 year after the termination of his em- 

 ployment, cither directly or indirectly, 

 enter into business in competition with 

 the employer in the same city, nor with- 

 in such time or within such city enter 

 the employment of anyone engaged in 

 a similar business. The court says that 

 the agreement "is such a partial re- 

 straint of trade, being limited both as 

 to time and territory, as will -be en- 

 forced in a court of equity." S.

(Jeorge Wessenauer, of Sewickley, Pa., 

 had more to say for the benefit of the 

 organization and its members than any 

 other florist iiresent. His illustration 

 of tlie society lieing a ''grindstone,"' 

 where the florist can bring his axe for 

 >:rin(iiiig and get it sliar])eiied for the 

 bonetit of all, was much applauded. 



The ad\ertising committee li;is ofl'ered

OTHERS' AMBITIONS. 



Kveryone has his own ambitions, his 

 own otijects, that he hopes to achieve 

 in the future, but they are not always 

 based upon jiresent performances. They 

 may be dreams, built of air, without 

 foundation. Others' ambitions for us 

 are apt, on the other hand, to be based 

 on the things of which we have already 

 shown ourselves capable. For that 

 reason we often find others' hopes for 

 us come to pass, while not so often 

 those which we hold alone are fulfilled. 

 Others' ambitions for us, in short, are 

 based on jiast performance, on what has 

 been achieved, on demonstrated ability. 



8o it is with a publication, and on 

 that account there is something real for 

 others to read besides the hope ex 

 pressed in the following:
