about 3,000 tons. On his contracts 2,000 

 tons remain for winter delivery, T^Ee 

 coal cost lo cents per ton more than 

 last year. 



The Chicago Florists' Club is sched- 

 uled to meet next week, August 7, at 

 San Souci park, on invitation of O. J. 

 Friedman, one of the owners. 



Maj'or Harrison has announced that 

 he will reai>point Peter Beinberg, whose 

 term as president of the school board is 

 about to expire. Mr. Reinberg some 

 time ago indicated that he would like 

 to retire, so that he could devote his 

 time to the greenhouses and his other 

 interests, but the Mayor says he can not 

 spare him. The office pays no salary. 



Charles Handel, who was operating 

 the Amelia Schaefer greenhouses under 

 lease at the time they were destroyed 

 by the big wind in September, 1911, is 



looking for another chance tp start in 

 business. The storm wiped out every 

 dollar he owned. Since then he has 

 worked as a grower, being employed at 

 present by Hoerber Bros., and has saved 

 up enough for another start. He is 

 negotiating for a lease of the Thomas 

 Allen place. 



In March the Hoskins Floral Co., Chi- 

 cago, was organized with $25,000 capital

 David J. Hoskins, John W, Harris and 

 Frank Amberg. The company has now 

 made a slight change in its capital 

 through reducing the par value per 

 share from $100 to $25 and increasing 

 the number of shares from 250 to 1000. 



William Wienhoeber and wife have 

 returned from a visit of five weeks with 

 friends on a ranch in Colorado, which 

 permits E. Wienhoeber to take things a 

 little easier, although he still comes to 

 the store almost every day from hia 

 home at Highland Park. 



The John C. Moninger Co., which has 

 been adding to its line until now it in- 

 cludes everything needed for the erec- 

 tion of a greenhouse establishment, has 

 taken hold of the Taylor syphon circu- 

 lator, an electrical apparatus for accel- 

 erating the movement of water in the 

 coils. 



W. J. Smyth makes his weekly trips 

 to the store, from his summer home at 

 Antioch, in his 6-cylinder Pierce-Arrow 

 car. 



The first of the week brought two of 

 the J. A. Budlong force back from va-
