Mention The Review whpn yon write. 



the whole loss, amounting to several 

 thousand dollars, was fortunately cov- 

 ered by insurance. Business has gone 

 on as usual. No serious delay occurred 

 in the shipping department and Christ- 

 mas trade will not be interfered with. 

 Wm. H, Kuebler moves after Christ- 

 mas to his new store at 28 Willoughby 

 street, Brooklyn. He will be at the 

 old stand on Boerum place for the holi- 

 days. 



Some of the retailers tell me nine- 

 tenths of all their orders come by tele- 

 phone. A quarter of a million phones 

 are now used in New York City alone. 



W. F. Gude, of Wlashington, was in 

 the city last week. He has a good 

 many complimentary things to say of 

 Queen Beatrice rose. 



The leucoethce and holly wreaths 

 * '*i Arthur Merritt is manufacturing^ 

 at Hammond's old stand on West 

 Ihirtieth street are unique and, like 

 an of Arthur's work, artistic. It is 

 rumored one of the other wholesale cut 

 flower firms will move into the prem- 

 ises after Christmas. 



Paper Christmas bells are being 

 hawked about by the fakirs in appar- 

 ently unlimited quantities. Add to 

 these the supply of the department 

 stores and you can imagine the enor- 

 mous number sold by the supply houses. 

 The unbreakable bells of Wertheimber 

 & Co. have also had a tremendous sale. 



Henry Siebrecht, Jr., has invented a 

 wicker basket which seems to be very 

 popular and with ribbons and orchids 

 makes a very /pretty home window 

 decoration. Many novelties in lanterns, 

 sedan chairs, strong boxes and vases 

 appear in the windows. More and more 

 the value of unique and original win- 

 dow effects are demonstrated. 



Elegantissima ferns are much in de- 

 mand. Scottii is in every window. 

 Croweanum in pots makes an elegant 

 background. Cibotiums are numerous 

 and as graceful as ever. 



Clarke's Sons, on Upper Broadway, 

 had a big debutante business this 

 week. These coming-outs this year 

 were a windfall for the retailers. 'Mc- 

 Connell's thirty debutante bouquets 



one day this week were all dififerent. 

 By the by, McConnell enjoys the dis- 

 tinction of holding for years the entire 

 staff of lieutenants, bookkeepers, sten- 

 ographers, rank and file, everybody, 

 whereas in nearly every retail store 

 new faces appear and the artists of 

 today arc sometimes gone tomorrow. 



The three B's are buzzing, Bodding- 

 ton in the east, Begbie in the south, 

 Bunyard in the west, and all of them 

 gathering much honey. 



Limprecht has a big decorative re- 

 sponsibility as usual in the work for 

 thp big cathedral. His staff of work- 

 ers includes his whole family, in addi- 

 tion to his regular staff, during the 

 busy season. 



Starke & Kloine have been too busy 

 to complete their intended conserva- 

 tory. Great weeks these for the plants- 

 men with their conveniences for the 

 retailers. Makes many a trip to the 

 big greenhouses unnecessary. 



The Geller Supply Co. reports a sea- 

 son double the sales of any other vear.
