FLORISTS' SUPPLIES DEPARTMENT 



We wish to advise the trade that we are filling 

 orders for Florists' Supplies practically without delay. 

 Shall have a complete new stock within a few days. 

 The trade can rely on us. 



^ THE FIRE which destroyed our store 

 ^ February 14 did not stop the filling of 

 orders even for a single day. With large 

 temporary quarters, secured while the fire 

 still burned, we are making shipment of 

 many articles as though nothing had oc- 

 curred. Large quantities of new importations 

 were in the custom house and other large ship- 

 ments on the way, with more stock awaiting 

 our word to ship. By the end of the present 



week we shall have a fairly complete stock on 

 our floors. All our books, orders and records 

 came through the fire safely, and our custo- 

 mers can rely on us to take care of their 

 needs without appreciable delay. 



We greatly appreciate the many friendly 

 inquiries and assurances that have come to 

 us and will spare no effort to merit the con- 

 tinued confidence of the trade. Kindly make 

 a note of our new address —

machine shop. Here he makes his own 

 iron stands, saws flats out of old boxes 

 on a turning lathe, and cuts and threads 

 any pipe he may need. He also worked 

 out a hot water heating system of his 

 own, and buying old boiler flues, con- 

 nected them with patent couplers of his 

 own invention. This coupler takes the 

 place of the ordinary tee coupler and 

 IS mnch more simple. This homemade 

 system has been in use twelve years 

 and Mr. Branch says it has always 

 given complete satisfaction. 



Various Notes. 



F. C. Mendonza, who four months ago 

 sold his store at 356 East Forty-third 

 street to Abraham Iralson and opened 

 a new one at 6236 South Halsted street, 

 hag left this stand on account of a fire 

 next door, and February 15 removed to 

 6341 South Halsted street. Here he 

 occupies the north half of the store, 

 the other half being used by an art 

 and picture framing shop. He has made 

 a two years' lease at $75 a month. 



George H. Wietor, eldest son of Henry 

 Wietor, is one of the youngest growers 

 holding responsible positions in the es- 

 tablishment of Wietor Bros. But it is 

 to be said for Mr. Wietor that his sec- 

 tion is one of the best on the place. 

 It is in Beauties. Only a few weeks 

 ago Mr. Wietor, having attained his

twenty-first birthday, took unto him- 

 self a bride in the person of Miss 

 Leona C. Sculer. 



W. J. Smyth and wife are enjoying 

 their outing in Florida. They plan to 

 go down the east coast, visit Cuba and 

 return via the west coast, reaching 

 Chicago in good time to prepare for 

 the Easter trade. 



Those whose duties call them to the 

 wholesale cut flower district Sunday 

 mornings received a shock when they 

 stepped off the cars February 14; for a 

 block or more in each direction from 

 the comer of Wabash avenue and Ran- 

 dolph street the thoroughfares were full 

 of fire-fighting apparatus and it looked 

 as though the whole district was afire. 

 The conflagration, which was in the 

 building occupied by A. L. Randall Co. 

 and the E. C. Amling Co., is reported 

 in another column. These two were 

 the only trade losers. Poehlmann Bros.
