The Rortsts' Review 



January 26, 1922 



consequence of this fact that the move 

 is to be taken, and partly because the 

 idea, advanced when national pub- 

 licity was first discussed, that produc- 

 ers should pay for the general advertis- 

 ing done in the trade's behalf, has been 

 gradually winning its way. A week be- 

 fore the meeting, the board of directors 

 of the Commercial Flower Growers of 

 Chicago and representatives of the prin- 

 cipal wholesale houses met to discuss this 

 project. Another similar meeting will 

 shortly be held to make preparations 

 for the change March 1. 



Despite the exceedingly cold night, a 

 fair representation of growers — as grow- 

 ers' meetings go — gathered at the Ho- 

 tel Randolph. Discussion as to a dele- 

 gate to the National Flower Growers' 

 Association at Hartford, Conn., January 

 26, led to the selection of President 

 Peter Pearson for that position. If 

 other duties permitted, W. J. Keimel, 

 who is president of the national organ- 

 ization, expressed his intention of at- 

 tending. George J. Ball, vice-president 

 of the local organization, had given 

 word that he also planned to go, al- 

 though a severe cold compelled his ab- 

 sence from the meeting last week. 

 ' February 9, the Commercial Flower 

 Growers will meet jointly with the Chi- 

 oago Florists' Club and assist in making 

 the annual novelty night of the latter 

 a .success. The following Thursday, 

 February 16, the growers will hold a 

 mleiting on their regular night, for 

 wEIch a luncheon and entertainment 

 ^vtll be provided. 



Foley's Fire. 



Early in the morning of January 20 

 the factory and offices of the Foley 

 Greenhouse Manufacturing Co., at 3160 

 West Thirty-first street, were visited by 

 fire. The building was gutted, but the 

 stock of lumber in the adjoining yard 

 was not damaged. "While the fire was 

 bad enough, reports which have gone out 

 in the trade exaggerate the loss. No 

 lives were lost, though some of the daily 

 papers so reported. James B. Foley, 

 treasurer, makes the following state- 

 ment: 



"Our two vaults, containing our 

 standard drawings, records and corre- 

 spondence, were not destroyed. The fire 

 loss in our warehouse was very slight 

 and only a small portion of our lumber 

 yard has been destroyed. Our shipping 

 facilities remain unimpaired. 



"We are now installing a temporary 

 office in our warehouse. Within a short 

 time our temporary factory will be in 

 operation, where we can handle orders in 

 a thoroughly satisfactory manner during 

 the restoration of our main plant." 



Mr. Tyler's Appointment. 



August F. Poehlmann, president of 

 Poohlmann Bros. Co., announces the ap- 

 pointment of M. N. Tyler as manager of 

 the florists' supply department of that 

 company. Mr. Tyler assumed his duties 

 January 23. 



Mr. Tyler came to Chicago last year to 

 join the forces of the American Bulb Co. 

 He was for eight years with the Botzum 

 Seed Co., of Cleveland and Akron, and 

 is well acquainted with the trade.
