George Willens, of the Willens Con- 

 struction Co., has been spending his 

 summer vacation superintending the 

 construction of L. Buckendorf 's green- 

 houses in Norfolk, Neb. The Willens 

 Construction Co. has the complete con- 

 tract for these houses and expects the 

 greenhouses to be completed within the 

 next few days. Mr. Willens' object in 

 personally supervising the erection of

 in their construction, or improvements 

 which this experience might suggest.

grown to supply the retail store at 35.30 

 South Michigan avenue. 



George Sykes, western manager for 

 Lord & Burnham Co., says he considers 

 it remarkable the way business holds 

 up in the florists' trade in view of what 

 people in other lines report. The west- 

 ern branch of the Lord & Burnham Co. 

 has shown an increase each year since 

 the otnce was opened here and Mr. 

 Sykes says the general business of the 

 company is this j'ear the largest on 

 record. Even the New England office 

 is showing a gain, in spite of the acute 

 financial depression in that section.

 the improved coloring.
