Hand, of the George Wittbold Co., for 

 roses and gladioli, and to the J. B. 

 Deam'ud Co., for a gladiolus named 

 Myrtle, on the table; also to Mr. Fried- 

 man for his hospitality.

Various Notes. 



C. D. Bradbury, of the Bradbury Co., 

 Boston, was in town last week. The 

 gentleman claims that his company has 

 registered as a trade mark with the 

 secretary of state the names Table 

 Christmas Tree, Little Christmas Tree, 

 Baby Christmas Tree, etc., so that no 

 one else has the right to use these 

 names in Illinois. Asked if he had any 

 court decisions as to the validity of his 

 trade-mark registration he said that it 

 bad not been tested in a Christmas tree 

 case but that many other similar cases 

 had been decided in favor of the par- 

 ties owning the trade marks. 



August Poehlmann can tell his 

 friends at the convention a few things 

 about the joys of automobiles. His trip 

 to Delavan, Wis., for the week end had 

 a number of features that were not 

 down on the program. Among other 

 things be rescned a lady^ and two chil- 

 dren from the chilly depths of Lake 

 Delavan, when a horse took fright at 

 his car and bolted into the water. As- 

 sisted by bis son Boland and brother 

 Adolph, who was following in his ma- 

 chine, Mr. Poehlmann waded in up to 

 his shoulders and carried the occupants 

 of the buggy to dry land. The horse 

 got into deeper water and Mr. Poehl- 

 nann swam out and piloted him to 

 nhore. The drive home in the darkness 

 and in wet clothing was accomplished

after they had lost the road and had 

 driven around in a circle for three 

 hours near McHenry, 111. Adolph Poehl- 

 mann also got lost and the climax of his 

 experiences came with a blow-out. He 

 then remembered that his tools had 

 been loaned to Brother August. August 

 F. Poehlmann and Adolph H. Poehl- 

 mann, together with their families, 

 started August 14 for Minneapolis via 

 automobile.
