 finished in two-tone art finishes; six different finishes: fitted with tin 

 liners, ready for planting. The baskets have laree openings— and you 

 know how important it is to have a wide top on a plaot basket. These 

 are in three sizes, 0-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch openings. Liners ten inches 

 deep; largest size handle thirty-six inches high. See cut. It is the best 

 spring basket value on the market. You should order today.

Knights of the Wheel. 

 Hector E. Elliott, proprietor of the 

 Avenue Flower Shop in Oak Park, was 

 at East Moline this week in company 

 with C. C. Hartwig, Mr. Elliott's pur- 

 pose being to select his touring car at 

 the factory of the Moline Automobile 

 Co. Mr. Hartwig is the son of C. 

 Hartwig, an old-time Chicago florist. 

 Since he has been in the automobile 

 business he has sold touring cars with 

 the Knight engine to a number of flo- 

 rists. W. F. Vlk, 5118 South Ashland 



avenue, is driving a new Moline 

 Knight. Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & 

 Foerster, has been running one about a 

 fortnight, and Frank Schramm, of Crys- 

 tal Lake, is expecting to receive deliv- 

 ery of a new car this week. 



Wholesalers in Permanent Quarters. 



The E. C. Amling Co. and the A. L. 

 Bandall Co., burned out at 66 East 

 Eandolph street, February 14, are this 

 week moving into their new permanent 

 quarters in the Lemoyne block, south- 

 west corner of Wabash avenue and 

 Lake street. Each concern was anxious 

 to get the space and facilities before 



the Easter rush and in neither case 

 waited for the completion of all the 

 ■special equipment that is planned; the 

 finishing touches will be put on as op- 

 portunity presents. 



Following his fixed idea as to loca- 

 tion, Mr. Amling secured street floor 

 space for salesroom and office, the re- 

 frigerating apparatus and storage space 

 being in the basement. Mr. Bandall, 

 relying on four passenger and two 

 freight elevators, in addition to two 

 stairways, took the second floor, where 

 there is approximately 19,000 feet of 

 space. There is unusually good light.
