at the golden anniversary were Mrs. 

 Frank Laird, Mrs. Robert Folwell, whose 

 husband is well known as the University 

 of Pennsylvania football coach; Casper 

 Pennock, Herbert A. Pennock, Samuel 

 S. Pennock, George L. Pennock, J. Led- 

 don Pennock and Henry S. Pennock. All 

 these sons are connected with some 

 branch of the florists' business, for 

 which their father has done so much. 

 Long may he wave! 



Florists' Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held June 5 in the club room 

 of Horticultural hall. The event of the 

 evening was a lecture entitled "The 

 King of the Rails," describing and illus- 

 trating by means of thrilling motion 

 pictures the electrification of one of 

 the northwestern railroads. 



The Methods of Frank M. Ross. 



A business woman walked briskly into 

 the H. Bayersdorfer & Co. place one 

 afternoon this week. She wanted to 

 have a bluebird stuffed and mounted. 

 All three members of the firm gathered 

 around her. This looked interesting. 

 Evidently the lady was a personage. 

 Possibly she came from Thorley. In- 

 quiry revealed the identity of this busi- 

 nesslike personage. She was Miss 

 Mosta, who manages one of the Frank 

 M. Ross stores, the one on East Girard 

 avenue.

Further thought and inquiry brought 

 the information that Mr. Ross is rapidly 

 forging ahead. A friend asserts that 

 he prides himself on not knowing how 

 to make up a design! Just think of it, 

 the proprietor of three successful stores 

 says that! Possibly it is meant to be 

 taken in a Pickwickian sense, the idea 

 being to bring out the point that in 

 order to make the stores succeed he 

 must work with his brain, letting others 

 work with their hands. This friend 

 further states that Mr. Ross is a won 

 derfuUy clever buyer who never fails 

 to grasp an opportunity, that he believes 

 in advertising and that he treats his 

 people liberally but demands of them 

 absolute fidelity.
