Work of demolishing the old Frank- 

 lin McVeagh building preparatory to 

 putting up another modern structure 

 just north of the Atlas block, the busi- 

 ness home of nearly a score of floristS; 

 has revived the peAwinial discussion 

 as to how long it will be before the 

 trade domiciled there will have to seek 

 new quarters. A. C. Spencer has it 

 figured out that it will be some years 

 before there is need for a modern build- 

 ing where the Atlas blocK stands.

 an addition to his greenhouses at 

 Clark and Byron streets.. 



According to report there are two 

 opportunities for someone with money 

 to acquire good downtown flower stores, 

 both within a few feet of the corner of 

 Wabash avenue and Monroe street. It 

 is said John T. Muir wduld like to 

 concentrate his business at the stand at 

 Grand boulevard and Forty-seventh 

 street and would sell the Monroe street 

 store and nine years' lease if an ac- 

 ceptable offer were received. Also, 

 Lubliner & Trinz would entertain an 

 offer for their handsome new Wabash
