HARTFORD. CONN. 



Refusing offers of $15,000 and up- 

 wards for his lease to his quarters in the 

 Universalist building on Main street, 

 John Coombs has won his fight to retain 

 his old quarters and the planned im- 

 provements of the Travelers Insurance 

 Company must halt at his store until be 

 is ready to move. 



Overtures of every kind were offered 

 Mr. Coombs to induce him to vacate the 

 place at which he had done business for 

 many years. The insurance company 



had secured the land up to that site and 

 had even purchased the property, think- 

 ing that they might easily be able to 

 buy out the one occupant who insisted 

 that he would remain until the expira- 

 tion of his lease. 



Offers of money in increasing amounts 

 were made until the company was con- 

 vinced that Coombs stood out for his 

 rights under the lease and not for a sum 

 of money. This conclusion once reached, 

 the negotiations were broken off. 



The insurance company will erect its 

 new building to the walls of the Uni- 

 versalist church. There the work will 

 stop for two years, when Coombs' lease 

 expires. The insurance company 's of- 

 fices will occupy the building, but the 

 flower store on the ground floor will con- 



tinue to occupy the place where it ha» 

 been doing business so long.

 ing another new greenhouse. 



Port Huron, Mich. — C. W. Asman 

 had his fifth annual fall show Novem- 

 ber 25, and the store was crowded with 

 visitors. He also handles birds, gold 

 fish, squirrels, dogs, etc., and they are 

 an attractive feature of his openings. 



Red Oak, Ia. — Miss Currelley, who re- 

 cently purchased the Red Oak Green- 

 houses, celebrated her commencement in 

 business life by getting married. Chas, 

 A. Berg, who came here from Indiana 

 to manage the greenhouses, is the groom.
