and green bunting arranged perpendicu- 

 larly on their building, and by Shrine 

 window decorations. 



Podesta & Baldocchi had a mammoth 

 Shrine fez placed on each of the large 

 box trees which stand outside their 

 building. 



r. G. Jaeger & Son transformed their 

 window into an "oasis," which had real 

 desert atmosphere, the waste of sand 

 being redeemed by a lake of mirror 

 glass with real cactus growing around 

 it and a camel drinking. A procession 

 of kewpie Shriners, linked by the tradi- 

 tional rope, formed a caravan wending 

 its way toward tents and pyramids. 

 The Shrine emblem was done in red and 

 white roses and yellow marigolds. Both 

 the Jaegers are members of Islam Tem- 

 ple and were busy all week, welcoming 

 incoming visitors at the ferries and 

 joining in parades. 



A distinguished Shriner visitor was 

 Charles H. Grakelow, of Philadelphia. 

 Mr. Grakelow was registered at the St. 

 Francis hotel. He is looked up to with 

 great deference, even by Shriners who 

 do not know his fame as a florist. In 

 four years, it is stated, Mr. Grakelow 

 will be Imperial Potentate. 



Tommy Luke, of Smith's Flower Shop, 

 Portland, Ore., a member of Al Kader 

 Temple, called on his many friends. 

 "I'm looking out for business, too," 

 he said. "Portland is the rose city, and 

 I'm arranging for some stock for our 

 rose show, which takes place June 23." 



Samuel Lundy, Denver, visited San 

 Francisco with the Shriners. 



W, A. Miller, of the W. L. Bock 

 Flower Co., Kansas City, arrived with 

 the Sunflower state delegation and 

 called on Pelicano, Rossi & Co. and 

 other friends. 



"Everybody's busy celebrating with 

 the Shriners, and no one is worrying 

 about business," said J. A. Axell, in 

 commenting upon the glut in the mar- 

 ket. 



"This kind of thing makes for a holi- 

 day," declared Frank Thatcher, of Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co. "Who wants to say 

 that they've been busy with funeral 

 work when the Shriners are here?" 

 And, without further comment, Mr. 

 Thatcher continued sticking carnations 

 into a fine "Rest in Peace" offering. 



Brown & Kennedy had the order to 

 decorate the headquarters of the 

 Knights of Columbus during Shrine

Fred Bertrand had the busiest week 

 of his career during the Shriners' visit. 

 He is a high-up Mason and a Shriner; 

 so the duties of hospitality had to be 

 attended to. Also, after twenty years 

 of married life, Mrs. Bertrand presented 

 him with a fine son and heir, and con- 

 gratulations were showered on the for- 

 tunate couple. As if that were not 

 enough, Mr. Bertrand virtually closed a 

 deal for a new store which he plans to 

 open in Fresno, July 1. The store is 

 23x73 feet, which makes it the largest 

 flower store in the Raisin city, if not in
