Downtown Leaders. 



Z. D. Blackistone is proprietor of an- 

 other of the prominent local establish- 

 ments. Ho is located at Fourteenth 

 and H streets, northwest. His store has 

 recently undergone extensive improve- 

 ments and has been made most at- 

 tractive. 



Diagonally across the street is the es- 

 tablishment of Marche & Co., managed 

 by George White. This concern grows 

 some of its own flowers, having some 

 greenhouses in Hyattsville, Md., the 

 home of Mrs. William Marche. The 

 latter is the daughter of Chris Schell- 

 horn, a retired florist. 



J. H. Small & Sons, of New York and 

 Washington, are known nationally and 

 even internationally. Located at Fif- 

 teenth and H streets, northwest, they 

 4ire in the heart of the downtown busi- 

 ness section, within a stone's throw of 

 the Treasury, White House and State, 

 War and Navy building. This store is 

 headed by J. H. Small III, son of the 

 late J. Henry Small. Here are also 

 located "Jimmie" Dalgleisli and Frank 



E. Miller, well known in the trade. 

 There are only two flower shops on 



<j street, one near Thirteenth street, 

 operated by O. A. C. Oehmler; the other 

 at Ninth street, operated by Frederick 



F. Leapley. 



Fred H. Kramer, at 016 F street, 

 northwest, has a combined palm garden 

 ^nd flower shop. This is a rather novel 

 establishment; the retail flower busi- 

 ness is in the front, and at the roar, in 

 what was formerly a greenhouse, is a 

 palm garden where ice cream, sodas, 

 soft drinks and other delectables are 

 dispensed. This is a gathering place 

 for after-theater crowds. Mr. Kramer 

 operates his own greenhouses in Ana- 

 ■costia, which supply flowers for the 

 store.
