 panied by Mrs. Edgar, and will be 

 foreman for Frank Oechslin. 



A lease to run ten years has been 

 signed by Lubliner & . Trinz for the 

 store at 41 South Wabash avenue, 

 where they will open October 15. The 

 location is one that is much favored 

 by florists. Being the first store north 

 of Monroe street, it is only a stone's 

 throw from the establishments of John 

 Mangel, Bohannon Floral Co., the Will- 

 iams Floral Shop and the present store 

 of Harry Eowe. It is stated by Joseph 

 Trinz that the present store on Wash- 

 ington street will be operated for a 

 a time as a branch and that another 

 store soon will be opened in addition 

 to the new Wabash avenue place. 



D. A. Kobertson, of the Adams-Eob- 

 ertson Co., has been on a trip to his old

 absence he paid visits to Baltimore, 

 Washington and Pittsburgh.

 Western Springs cut the first Cattleya 

 labiata September 22. 



Ernest Farley, with A. L. Vaughan 

 & Co., organized a bowling team of 

 florists that has entered in the North 

 Chicago Bowling League. The mem- 

 bers of the squad are W. Wolf, E. E. 

 Farley, John Huebner, Wm. Graflf and 

 Fred Price. 



The Bohannon Floral Co. says there 

 is no complaint on the way business 

 has picked up since the beginning of 

 September. Weddings have brought 

 in considerable work and a number of 

 club decorations have added to the 

 usual fall trade. 



Chairman William Lorman, of the 

 Cook County Florists' Association's 

 committee on sports, called a meeting 

 for the purpose of organizing the bowl- 

 ers, for September 23 at Zech & Mann 's 

 store. 



A. Miller, of Henderson & Co., left 

 September 19 on an eastern trip. 



Harry Manheim, with Hoerber Bros., 

 is tied up for two weeks, on jury serv- 

 ice in the local courts. Last year, just 

 as the season opened, F. C. Hoerber 

 was drawn for the same duties, so it is 

 no longer considered a joke.

 chine Co., of Kenosha, also is one that 

 will appeal to florists who are inclined 

 to be progressive. The show, which is 

 being held in the auditorium at the 

 Union Stock Yards, closes October 1.
