Window and Porch Baskets 



SELF-WATKRING LINERS 



Something New 



The porch and window basket often becomes spoiled on account of leakage of 

 the container. This year we have made arrangements to equip our baskets with a well known self- 

 watering device, which we have tested and found to be all that is claimed for it. This hamper and 

 metal container comes in two sizes, stock No. 16132. 



No. 3 22 7H S^. 



No. 4 27 9 6. 



Metal liners, 40c and 50c each, extra.

 This is a preliminary step to moving

With a rush of orders for the funeral 

 of Marion Farwell coming on the 

 afternoon of May 7, to be delivered 

 in Lake Forest next morning, the staff 

 of the E. Wienhoeber Co., 22 Elm 

 street, worked all night to complete 

 four automobile loads of flowers, a 

 total of fifty-five pieces. Then they 

 turned to for the house and church 

 decorations and eleven bouquets for 

 the Vail-FoUansbee wedding at High- 

 land Park that evening. With the reg- 

 ular business came some extra orders 

 for Mothers' day, so that all hands 

 were on the go for thirty-six consecu- 

 tive hours. 



A large sign on the building at 131 

 North Wabash avenue to the effect 

 that John A. Colby & Sons will occupy 

 the entire building after it is remod- 

 eled is somewhat misleading. Bassett 

 & Washburn, who occupy the greater 

 part of the second floor, have a lease 

 with a year to run, and so far John 

 A. Colby & Sons have made no ar- 

 rangements with them for the assump- 

 tion of the lease, and they, in turn, 

 have as yet taken no steps to the end 

 of securing new quarters.
