The Florists^ Review 



JuLX 20, 1922 



as he is forever trying something differ- 

 ent from the rest. Otto Benthey is the 

 greenhouse superintendent and is turn- 

 ing out excellent summer roses. 



That there is money in the florists' 

 business for those who wish to accumu- 

 late it, is shown by the announcement 

 that John Fuhrman, 3164 North Clark 

 street, is investing $4,"),000 in another 

 building project. lie has secured a 

 building permit and let contracts for 

 3-story stores and apartments 50x142 

 and 50x80 at 3223-25 North Clark street. 

 H. N. Bruns had an order for funeral 

 flowers to the value of 6,000 marks to 

 deliver in Berlin last week! He cabled 

 at a cost of $21. 



Eric Johnson is one of those well sat- 

 isfied with the summer business. He re- 

 ports the Randall cut flower sales have 

 made a new high record for July to date. 

 Mr. Johnson says that, while prices are 

 moderate, it seems possible to move 

 larger quantities of flowers than in any 

 j)revious July. 



That the building ))oom which is cre- 

 ating business activity in Chicago will 

 be of short duration is the opinion of 

 H. Van Gelder. Mr. Van Gelder oper- 

 ated successfully and rather extensively 

 in real estate during the boom which 

 followed the war. 



The A. B. C. has formosums afloat on 

 the Pacific and Paper Whites on the 

 Atlantic. 



A. J. Zech says he believes the supply 

 of flowers this summer, especially of 

 roses, exceeds all previous records for 

 this market. He thinks growers may 

 find they have increased the summer 

 crops too fast.

 staff of A. T. Pyfer & Co., is vacation- 

 ing at Ephraim, Wis. 



John Poehlmann returned last week 

 from a pleasant trip to Atlantic City 

 and other points east. Next day he re-

 sedan and says it is tlie nicest plaything 

 he ever has had. 



The three Tonner sisters and their 

 mother are driving to Aberdeen, S. D., 

 where they have relatives, and will be 

 absent for a month. In the interval tlie 

 sales end of the Tonner business is be- 

 ing well looked after by Harry Arnold 

 .and the ofTice is being looked after l)y 

 Miss Augusta Harper. 



After a highly enjoyable six weeks' 

 vacation, C. A. Alles has joined the staff 

 of Peter Reinljerg, Inc. He was for 

 many years in the office and store of 

 Wietor Bros. 



Announcement is made of the lunr- 

 riage of Herbert F. Youngquist, who 

 conducts the North Shore Flower Shop, 

 on Irving I'ark boulevard. The wed- 

 ding took ]i]ace July 8. His bride was 

 Miss Lorr.aine Hall. They spent their 

 honeymoon at Twin Lakes, Wis. 



P. C. Schupp has returned from his 

 trip to Atlantic City with the Elks. He 

 had a highly enjoyable outing, but says 

 that Chicago never looked better to him 

 than it did on his return. 



Mr. Parker and Miss Burkhart. chief 

 assistants to Marshall X. Tyler, in the
