The Templin Co., the firm that has 

 made Calla, Mahoning county, famous, 

 has bought out the old stand of Walker 

 & McLean, 115 West Federal street. The 

 Templins will manage the store and sup- 

 ply the seed stock for the same, making 

 the establishment a first-class seed and 

 flower store. John Walker, of the origi- 

 nal firm of Walker & McLean, will have 

 charge of the greenhouses at Crab Creek 

 as formerly. Owing to a disagreement 

 among the partners, the florists. Walker 

 & McLean, went into the hands of a 

 trustee some months ago. William Cor- 

 nelius has filled the position which on 

 August 15 became a court record only. 



The Templin Co. does an immense busi- 

 ness in the greenhouse line. The reve- 

 nue derived at the Calla postoffice from 

 this firm alone makes the postoffice the 

 second in importance in Mahoning 

 county. The fact that they have inter- 

 ested themselves in the local establish- 

 ment means much to the future of the 

 business. 



John Walker is an expert grower. He 

 has had years of experience in Philadel- 

 phia before coming to Youngstown. The 

 firm will do much of its shipping from 

 this city, but the main offices of the 

 Templin Co. will be retained at Calla.
