In accordance with his belief that 

 health is above all price, Joseph 

 Papacek has sold his store at 3250 West 

 Twenty-sixth street to George Nemecek. 

 Mr. Papacek will go to Lake Geneva, 

 Wis., where he will take a much needed 

 rest. 



The Chicago Business Men's Prosper- 

 ity Club is composed of a representa- 

 tive man from each trade. He must 

 be the owner or head of a concern that 

 has achieved material success. At the 

 weekly luncheons and monthly dinners 

 talks are given on the problems con- 

 fronting each individual line of work 

 and on the questions that demand an 

 answer from business as a whole. 

 Many of the names on the membership 

 roll are those with which to conjure 

 in the commercial world. The respon- 

 sibility of presenting the florists' side 

 of the question to such an aggregation 

 of business acumen and commercial 

 talent has fallen to the lot of H. Van 

 Gelder, president of Percy .lones, Inc. 



Notice is hereby served on all mem- 

 bers of the trade that the next meet- 

 ing of the Chicago Florists' Club, May 

 6, at the Bismarck hotel, will be of 

 paramount interest to them and well 

 worth their attendance. Mike Fink, 

 chairman of the good of the club com- 

 mittee, has secured as the speaker of 

 the evening, H. G. Fogleman, of the 

 Sheldon. School of Salesmanship, whose 

 subject will be "Business Building and 

 Salesmanship." All members of the 

 trade and their friends are invited. 



According to H. M. Oeser, of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., there has been a phe- 

 nomenal sale of palms during the last 

 two weeks. This has rendered it neces- 

 sary* to add two houses to the palm 

 department. 



Philip C. Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, 

 spent April 25 hunting for paleolithic 

 specimens. Only a few miles from the 

 city, in a direction best known to him- 

 self, his search was rewarded with the 

 discovery of a prehistoric grave. A 

 few minutes' diligent work brought to 

 light a flint cleaver sixteen inches long, 

 three flint spear heads, two copper axe 

 heads and a perfectly preserved amulet. 



Prosperity day brought not a few or- 

 ders for special wire designs to Joseph 

 Ziska & Sons, among them one for a 

 life-sized steer, two 6-foot yachts, six 

 large flags, as many cornucopias, and 

 one 7-foot bottle. In addition to this, 

 they have the contract for the wire 

 work on the stage in Orchestra hall.
