The Rorists^ Review 



Juke 30, 1921 



followed were enjoyed by all. Wednes- 

 day afternoon the trip through the 

 Shaw, or Missouri Botanical, garden 

 was interesting and instructive. On 

 the way to the garden the party was 

 conducted through the place where 

 Budweiser useu to grow; each member 

 of the party was presented with a cool 

 bottle of the new drink made by the 

 Anheuser-Busch Co. For Wednesday 

 night there was a vaudeville entertain- 

 ment, and dance given by the firms 

 which had exhibitions at the conven- 

 tion. This was thoroughly enjoyable 

 and was a great get-together-and-get- 

 acquainted feature of the convention. 



Thursday afternoon the women of the 

 convention were taken to the Sunset 

 Hill Country Club and entertained at 

 cards and a dinner. They say they had 

 a fine time. Thursday night the an- 

 nual banquet was held. After an excel- 

 lent dinner, speakers held the floor. A 

 banker of St. Louis and two members 

 of the Missouri Department of Agricul- 

 ture told about general business and 

 the seed business. The banker said that 

 he did not look for things in the busi- 

 ness world to be any brighter before 

 1922. 



Newsy Notes About the Visitors. 



Charles Dickinson, of the Albert 

 Dickinson Co., Chicago, dropped in at 

 the convention Wednesday evening. 

 Dropped in was just what he did. He 

 demonstrated the practical use of the 

 aeroplane by flying down Wednesday 

 and going back Thursday morning. The 

 trip down was made in a little over 

 three hours, as there was a stop on the 

 way. 



Among the exhibitors' booths was 

 one showing the products of the Vay- 

 eide Chemical Corporation. Tliis cor- 

 i;oration is owned and operated by the 

 G. B. McVay & Sons Seed Co., of Bir- 

 mingham, Ala. The booth was deco- 

 rated with several cleverly drawn post- 

 ers, wliicli were from the pen of George 

 B. MeVay, Jr. George, Sr., was the 

 nftendant at the booth and was ready 

 to give everyone that stopped a talk 

 about insecticides and chemistry, which 

 Mr. McVay lias studied for years.
