The Rorists^ Review 



July 14, 1021 



ert Wilson, chauffeur, was close by and 

 rescued many baskets rolling down the 

 street. Mr. Smyth's loss was entirely 

 on stock and interruption of business, 

 as the windows were fully insured. 



The Pageant of Progress. 



There was an attendance of twenty- 

 seven members of the trade at the Ran- 

 dolph hotel July 7 for further discus- 

 sion of the trade's participation m the 

 Pageant of Progress. The committee 

 has been handicapped by the necessity 

 of changing secretaries through the un- 

 fortunate illness of J. E. Pollworth. 

 H E. Larsen, who stepped into the 

 breach when Mr. Pollworth was com- 

 pelled to go to the hospital, has too 

 many other business interests to be able 

 to look after this one as is required. 

 He therefore asked to be relieved at 

 the earliest opportunity and the ap- 

 pointment was tendered W. A. Hansen, 

 of the E. C. Amling Co. The organiza- 

 tion of the committee, therefore, now 

 stands as follows: 



Chairman — George Asmus. 



Treasurer— W. J. Smyth. 



Secretary — W. A. Hansen. 



It has been found necessary to mod- 

 ify the enthusiastic plans originally 

 made. The time of year during which 

 the pageant will be held has been found 

 to deter. many of the trade from par- 

 ticipating as they gladly would do at 

 another season. As a result, the plan to 

 take an entire section in the exhibition 

 has been abandoned. Those who wish 

 to make exhibits will be asked to pur- 

 chase space at the regular rate charged 

 all exhibitors, while those who merely 

 wish to lend assistance without exhib- 

 iting will be asked to contribute to the 

 fund necessary to pay for the space 

 used for the competitive flower show. 

 The committee, divided into sub-com- 

 mittees, aims to call on each member of 

 the trade during the next few days to 

 ascertain the extent to which each con- 

 cern will participate and the allotment 

 of space will then be made in accord- 

 ance with the support which develops. 



"Professor" Meuret. 



Edward Meuret, yfho sold out last 

 year, spent a winter in California and 

 has since been looking for a place 

 to buy, has reentered the trade in a 

 rather unexpected way. He has taken 

 charge of the greenhouses of St. Mary s 

 Training School, at Dcs Plaincs. There 

 are about 40,000 feet of glass, which is 

 being planted to carnations. Here Mr. 

 Meuret not only will grow flowers for 

 the market, but will train the younger 

 generation, mind and hand, in green- 

 house work. 



Various Notes. 



Krowka Bros., who have been suc- 

 cessful with the greenhouse establish- 

 ment at 4938 North Western av«nue, re- 

 cently bought the Andrew Koike place 

 at 5442 North Western avenue. The 

 two places will be run together, with 

 headquarters at the old address. 



John Michal has been making steady 

 progress since he took hold of the 

 greenhouses and unique store at 7045 

 Stony Island avenue. He is developing 

 a large retail business and has ar- 

 ranged for a complete new outfit to be 

 built by Buchbindcr Bros. The new re- 

 frigerator will be one of the largest in 

 Chicago, divided so that the front will 

 be used for display and the back will 

 contain a large compartment for stor-
