minutes and word was sent out around 

 town. The man tried unsuccessfully to 

 sell the Beauties in several places be- 

 fore the way he got them was known, 

 but when he offered them to Andrew 

 Chronis, at the Fair, that gentleman 

 had been informed and contrived to 

 hold him until the Kandall people ar- 

 rived. He proved to be a man who has 

 worked for florists in other cities and 

 who knows something of the trade. 

 Having ' recovered the stock, YtwaH 

 Johnson was disposed to let him go, 

 until it was found he carried an ugly 

 looking pistol. His arrest followed. 



Frank Johnson and Eric Johnson, of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., are in the east 

 on a business trip, 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has placed an 

 order for two 2-ton Stromberg motor 

 trucks to ply between the plant at 

 Morton Grove and the city. The trucks 

 are to have panel bodies and can be 

 used in the coldest weather. It is 

 planned to make all the city deliveries 

 for the plant department and to haul 

 more or less of the cut flowers that 

 now go to the city store by express. 

 Another innovation at the Morton 

 Grove plant is telephone service to the 

 various departments in Plant A. Every 

 section of that plant can now be 

 reached by telephone from the general 

 office. A new system has been put in 

 eflfect to help the bookkeeping depart- 

 ment and a time clock is doing service 

 in Plant A. 



A new drip pan for florists' ice boxes 

 has been perfected by Buchbinder 

 Bros. The new device has been 

 placed in the Erne & Klingel storage 

 box and, according to Mr. Erne, it is 

 possible to maintain the desired tem-

Constantine Boukidis, who does busi- 

 ness in Indianapolis as the Claypool 

 Hotel Florist, was in town October 20, 

 buying stock. He is a brother of the 

 senior partner of Boukidis & Eemains, 

 who have leased two loop stores at a 

 combined rental of $16,500 per year. 

 The two brothers once ran the Busy 

 Bee store on State street, where they 

 paid $1,000 per month rent. 



A glance at the souvenir program of 

 the St. Gregory Parish bazaar is all 

 that is needed to convince one of the 

 abilities of John Zech as an advertis- 

 ing solicitor. St. Gregory's parish has 

 many of the north side growers among 

 its members and the trade is well rep- 

 resented by advertisements. Mr. Zech 

 sold over $300 worth of space in the 

 book.

ARTmCIAL 

 CAPE FLOWERS 



On account of the high prices of

 and are used in designs by florists. 



PRICE 

 $1.80 per pound or box. 



Can be had in white, red, pirk, 

 lavender or green.
