John P. Banasik reports business as 

 unusually satisfactory with the West- 

 ern rioral Co., 2347 West Chicago ave- 

 nue. 



This has been a busy month for An- 

 ton Then, Jr., who rides the city routes 

 for his father. The wagon makes daily 

 trips taking orders and making de- 

 liveries. A big lot of bedding stock 

 has occupied attention since the Easter 

 plants were cleaned up. A new motor 

 truck will soon replace the horse and 

 wagon. 



The filling of window boxes and 

 planting of bedding stock is keeping 

 all hands busy at the establishment 

 of Geo. Wittbold Co., on Buckingham 

 place. The demand for geraniums is 

 fast eating up the large stock on hand. 



Mrs. Carrie A. Maher, nee Eiseman, 

 wife of John T. Maher, died May 21 at 

 the Wesley liospital following an oper- 

 ation for appendicitis. Besides her hus- 

 band, she is survived by a little son, 

 John T., Jr. Before her marriage, Mrs. 

 Maher was for a long time employed 

 by the Atlas Floral Co. 



A new concern has been organized 

 under the name of the Chicago Feed & 

 Fertilizer Co. The incorporators have 

 all been identified with the fertilizer 

 trade of Chicago for many years and 

 are as follows: President, John P. 

 Bowles; vice-president, F. 8. Markey; 

 secretary, W. K. Love; treasurer, Chas. 

 Goepper; manager, F. E. Moore. F. 8. 

 Mavkey was formerly identified with 

 the Farmers' & Florists' Tankage Fer- 

 tilizer Co. He states that John Tip- 

 lady, formerly gardener for A. B. Dick 

 at Lake Forest, has been appointed 

 sales manager and will assume his du- 

 ties June 1. 



The sidewalk in front of the store of 

 W. W. Barnard Co., on West Madison 

 street, presents the appearance of an 

 old-fashioned garden. Bedding stock 

 of all kinds is displayed and the ad- 

 vertising value is well demonstrated by 

 the crowd of buyers coming and going 

 all day long. 



One of last week's visitors was Irvin 

 Ingels, of La Fayette, 111. He placed 

 an order with the Foley Greenhouse 

 Mfg. Co. for a house 27x200.
