The Florists^ Review 



March 10, 1921. 



This is what you 

 get for a Dollar— 



and you get some change back 



This is the box of thread as you receive 

 it. Eight full spools, guaranteed 1 lb. 

 of thread in each box. Smooth, even 

 and tough texture. The best thread we 

 have ever offered for the money. 



Old Hickory Thread 



Old Hickory Thread is guaranteed to 

 please you. Money cheerfully refund- 

 ed if you are not pleased in every way. 

 Hundreds of Florists have said "It's a 

 real bargain" and we know you will 

 say the same thing. 



A Full Pound of Thread for 99c 



FULL 

 SPOOt 



"Don't worry. Son; it's Old Hickory." 



Note the smallness of the cone and the liberal amount of thread on each spool. You will be agree- 

 ably surprised with the quantity as well as the quality of the goods you get. You will appreciate 

 this wonderfully low price that only "America's greatest supply house" can quote. Order NOV/.

hard it punctured the houses without 

 shattering many and the plants were 

 not badly cut up. They at once fired 

 up the reserve boilers and called for all 

 the help they could get to repair the 

 damage. Next day 25,000 yards of 

 muslin were obtained from Mar.shall 

 Field & Co., with which the roofs were 

 covered temporarily. Mr. Washburn 

 estimates his loss at $10,000 to $15,000. 

 He is fully covered as far as the insur- 

 ance of the Florists' Hail Association 

 goes and is fortunate in having about 

 2,000 boxes of glass on hand, salvage 

 from the dismantled Hinsdale houses. 

 At Downers Grove the storm hit 



Welhvorth Farm Greenhouses, growing 

 roses, and J. F. Kidwell & Co., growing 

 plants. In the former range the loss 

 was about 2,000 panes of glass, while 

 at the older Kidwell place fully seventy- 

 five per cent of all the glass was 

 broken. C. V. Wolf and J. Gollans, both 

 at Downers Grove, were hard hit. 

 These are small places^ but their loss 

 was relatively heavier than with their 

 larger neighbors. On the other side 

 of Hinsdale, at Western Springs, 

 Vaughan's Greenhouses escaped with- 

 out a scratch. 



At Kiver Forest Ernest Oechslin lost 

 4,000 panes of glass scattered through 



his dozen or so houses, all of which 

 are in pot plants mostly finishing for 

 Easter. He sent an S. O. S. call to some 

 of his customers in the city and had 

 help in closing his roofs against the 

 storm. George Wienhoeber and his staff 

 worked there until midnight, it is said. 

 Gus Swanson, also of River Forest, and 

 the Forest Park Floral Co., not far 

 away, each lost about 200 panes and 

 there were many others who lost a few 

 lights. 



The New City Floral Co.. at Sixty- 

 first and Throop stri'cts. lost about 

 1,000 panes of small glass.
