The rate varies with the size of the 

 contract but probably averages 33 1/3 

 cents per line. It is more advertising 

 than the retailers 6ver before have done 

 for a holiday and it surely had a big 

 influence on the flower sales for the 

 day; it helped others besides the adver- 

 tisers. 



Various Notes. 



A specially large attendance is ex- 

 pected at the Bismarck tonight, April 

 8, as calls have been issued by President 

 Miller and Secretary Pyfer for the 

 Cook County Florists' Association and 

 President Keimel and Secretary French 

 for the Chicago Florists' Club. It is 

 understood all members of the county 

 organization whose resignations have 

 not been received tonight will be voted 

 in a body into the Chicago Florists' 

 Club. 



Downtown crowds were surprised 

 April 2 to find one of Chicago's busiest 

 State street corners occupied by a 

 flower store. But the Bohannon Floral 

 Co., looking about for additional space 

 for the rush season, saw no reason why 

 the quarters lately occupied by Bau- 

 man & Co., jewelers, northeast corner 

 of State and Monroe streets, would not 

 be just what was wanted. So along the 

 lower part of the long line of display 

 windows, filled with cut flowers and 

 bulbous plants, are bright-colored signs 

 heralding the fact that flowers are re- 

 tailed at wholesale prices. The store 

 was packed during the Easter rush and 

 still is open this week; it will be con- 

 tinued indefinitely. 



The new wholesale commission cut 

 flower firm of Miller. & Musser opened 

 for business the morning of April 5, 

 at 181 North Wabash avenue, the loca- 

 tion formerly occupied by the defunct 

 Frank Floral Co., in which Mr. Musser» 

 was a partner. Nicholas P. Miller 

 brings twenty-five years' experience to 

 the service of the new concern, having 

 recently been connected with A. L. 

 Vaughan & Co., Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 and the J. B. Deamud Co. 



Appearances seem to indicate that 

 John Mangel has not found his branch 

 in the Marshall Field Annex building 

 altogether profitable and that he would 

 have no regrets should the landlord con- 

 clude to abrogate the lease.
