 Bonvallet will use the stock both for

October Biisiness. 



With few exceptions October has been 

 an excellent month for the wholesal- 

 ers, most of whom were able to figure 

 up, October 23, that they had done 

 more business than in the whole of 

 October last year, which was the month 

 in which this market felt the worst ef- 

 fects of the unsettlement that followed 

 the outbreak of the war. In most cases 

 October sales are expected not only to 



show a big increase over last year, but 

 to compare favorably with the best 

 previous October, making this the best 

 October on record. But it has been a 

 poor month for those who have come 

 to rely on purchasing a considerable 

 part of the stock used to fill shipping 

 orders. 



Budlong to Move. 



The wholesale cut flower house of 

 J. A. Budlong concluded, October 26, 

 negotiations for space in the new 

 Le Moyne building. The new location, 

 which is secured by an advantageous 

 lease, expiring April 30, 1921, is an L- 

 shaped space extending from the Wa- 

 bash avenue front to the Lake street 



side of the building, with entrances 

 on both streets. Philip C. Schupp, 

 manager, says possession will be taken 

 about November 8, with a full comple- 

 ment of new fixtures and every up-to- 

 the-minute appliance. The new address 

 will be the southwest corner of Wabash 

 and Lake. The building may now be 

 considered a wholesale flower center. 

 Other tenants are the A. L. Bandali 

 Co., E. C. Amling Co., Bassett & Wash- 

 burn and the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association.
