The Florists' Review 



August 28, 101$. 



WE ARE BASKET SPECIALISTS 



This is the reason why our exhibit 

 at Minneapolis attracted) so much 

 attention. We do nothing: but build 

 baslcets and build them right. Are 

 we acquainted with each other? If 

 not, we are both missing: something:. 

 You are missing: a chance to build 

 up a profitable business by means 

 of our basicets. We are missing: 

 your orders. 



Let's g:et tog:ether, Mr. Florist. Drop 

 us a line.

ing the time to look over a few figures 

 for other years, adds that this month 

 shows a decided improvement over any 

 August for the last four years. While 

 the attack of rheumatism still bothers 

 him once in a while, he says that he 

 feels better than he has for the last 

 six months. 



C. G. Anderson and Guy French, of 

 the Poehlmann force at Morton Grove, 

 arrived home August 25. Mr, Ander- 

 son was more than pleased with the 

 ^linneapolis exhibit of plants of which 

 he had charge, and says that for busi- 

 ness it was the best convention he ever 

 attended. 



Besides being a fisherman of no small 

 skill, .lohn Sinner is an amateur 

 photographer and incidentally a sailor. 

 When he could spare the time he was 

 one of the most enthusiastic patrons at 

 the big water carnival held off Grant 

 Park last week. Mr. Sinner says he 

 fully ai>proves of N. .T. Wietor's new 

 Locomobile, having enjoyed several 

 rides from P^vanston downtown since its 

 delivery. 



A. Miller was on hand at the store 

 August 25. after a week at Minneapolis, 

 where, with Guy Reburn, he looked 

 after the interests of A. Henderson & 

 Co. He was well satisfied with the Twin 

 Cities convention and says the business 

 done was fully up to expectations. 



Allie Zech, together with Mrs. Zech, 

 took a trip to The Dells in Wisconsin 

 after the convention and returned home 

 August 27. John Zech says he found 

 business I'ushing "for the last week and

 August 21 and 22, when the demand 

 waxed extra strong.

business continues dull in all lines ex- 

 cept funeral work, and even this fell 

 off during the last week. The retailers 

 were kept busy, however, finishing the 

 work of remodeling and altering their 

 stores so as to be ready for the fall 

 season, which should open with the 

 commencing of the public and private 

 schools next week. At the wholesale 

 markets things are moving along as is 

 usual in the dull summer months. 

 Stock of all kinds is plentiful. The 

 fancj' grades, which are few, clean up 

 daily, but there is always a lot of poor 

 stock left over, only to be dumped the 

 next day. There was a glut in asters, 

 tuberose stalks and poor grade roses. 

 There were daily receipts of fair 

 flowered carnations with short stems 

 last week. Gladioli have shortened up 

 considerably from local growers. Prices 

 are. away down, and in big lots buyers
