At the Peter Reinberg establishment 

 the propagators are working up all the 

 wood of Ophelia and none of the young 

 stock is to be sold. The plan is to 

 bencli at least 20,000 Ophelia for next 

 season. The space will be obtained, 

 according to Emil Reichling, by cut- 

 ting down on Mrs. Ward and Kil- 

 larney. 



H. C Mulder has as his business 

 as well as life partner Saphrona Dye, 

 whose name appears as one of the pro- 

 prietors of the University Florists, 

 1121 East Fifty-fifth street. Mrs. 

 Mulder is a capable store woman, but 

 Mr. Mulder is essentially a greenhouse 

 man and hopes some day to get back 

 to the work under glass.

 marked settling to the south on the 

 part of several of the smaller build- 

 ings north of it that they were con- 

 demned by the city. This included the 

 building at l.'il North Wabash avenue, 

 the home of Bassett & Washburn. As 

 the result of numerous scaffolds and 

 stagings erected in their quarters in 

 the work of bracing the walls, they 

 are inconvenienced not a little. The 

 Bassett & Washburn lease runs to 

 May 1, 1916.

"Why complain of business condi- 

 tions when you are doing better than 

 you expected?" It is the query of 

 Abraham Iralson, 356 East Forty-third 

 street. Mr. Iralson has been in his 

 present location since November 4, and 

 says he has done well under the cir- 

 cumstances, as the stand was badly 

 run down when he bought it.
