Charles Ostertag, is taking charge of 

 the business during his abseiu'e. Mr. 

 Ostertag, who visited some of the 

 wholesale houses with V. A. Thatcher, 

 of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., expressed 

 himself as being much impressed by the 

 way in which tlowers grow in Califor- 

 nia. "You don't have to work!" de- 

 clared Mr. Ostertag to an interested 

 circle of listeners. "The tlowers just 

 grow for you.'" "We work harder, 

 for we have to give more than you." 

 replied Mr. Thatcher, who studied the 

 business in several eastern cities. "We 

 are not so well coniniercialized as you 

 in the east, but we are learning." 



B. E. Gillis, i)rcsident of the Park 

 Floral Co., Denver, Colo., haa been 

 visiting the trade here and has now 

 gone to Carmel, Monterey county, to 

 spend a short time with friends. 



Two visitors last week were F. 

 Lichtenborg, of Los Angeb's, and .T. A.

George K. T^no, until recently man- 

 ager for Bailey & Sons, Salt Lake City,

 Orleans on a business trip. 



J. A. Axell is making a slower sched- 

 ule on his eastern trip than was an- 

 ticipated. He is visiting Denver, Salt 

 Lake City, St. Louis and Chicago. At

 partner, Ferrari Bros, are experiment- 

 ing with a new material for destroying
