 at the store of Wietor Bros., August 1, 

 after spending an anxious week at the 

 bedside of his youngest child, a girl 

 aged 4. July 25 the tot was knocked 

 down by am automobile and suffered a 

 fracture of the skull. At the Swedish 

 hospital she hovered between life and 

 death for several days, but now seems 

 in a fair way to complete recovery.

Visitors. 



Irwin Bertermann and family spent

 home to Indianapolis after a holiday. 

 Mr. Bertermann took advantage of the 

 opportunity to call on friends in the 

 trade. 



J. A. Axell, the well known wholesale 

 florist of San Francisco, spent several 

 days in Chicago last week. Mr. Axell 's

 wliolesalc cut flowers. He was here 

 "just to look around."

 ton, 0., have been visiting relatives

 before him have been steady buyers in 

 tliis market. 



George H. Bancroft, of Joseph Ban- 

 croft & Sou, Cedar Falls, la., was in 

 town August 1 and 2, on a buying ex-

 unusually good this summer, a fact he 

 attributes to the heat and drought, 

 which destroyed garden flowers and 

 sent the flower lovers in unusual num- 

 bers to the florists.
