made necessary by the greatly increased 

 production and by the further heavy in- 

 crease in sight for next season, coming 

 from the big new range now in course 

 of erection. One side of the room is 

 glass and the quarters will be among 

 the lightest and airiest in town. Nat- 

 urally, Joseph Foerster, the manager of 

 Mr. Beinberg's selling department, is 

 pleased at the change, but the move is 

 not the only cause for the smile he wears 

 these days. It's the first daughter. 



P. J. Hauswirth and Mrs. Hauswirth 

 plan to leave on Thursday morning for 

 San Francisco, where Mr. Hauswirth is 

 sent by the High Mogul, Big Chief 

 €herry, of the Red Men, to take charge 

 of the distribution of the relief fund 

 raised by the Eed Men all over the na- 

 tion for the members of the order. As 

 the fund amounted to $8,000 at the date 

 Mr, Hauswirth received his appointment 

 and is expected to be $25,000 by the 

 time he is on the ground, he has quite a 

 task before him, especially as his only 

 instructions are to make the best use 

 of the money his judgment dictates. 



It is estimated that local wholesalers 

 and one or two Michigan parties have 

 at this date not less than 3,000,000 ferns 

 in the "Western Cold Storage Warehouse. 

 Some are coming out in perfect condi- 

 tion, but more require picking over, and 

 fiome are being dumped as soon as the 

 case is opened. The loss is heavier than 

 osual this year. The quantity stored and 



the present quality preclude a clean-up. 

 Alfred Hildred has a very attractive 

 store at 2928 Indiana avenue and always 

 has a well-arranged show window. The 

 location is only a couple of blocks from 

 the stand occupied for many years by 

 the E. Hobbs Co., now conducted by 

 G. C. Wagner. It is a good neighbor- 

 hood and eacji does a nice trade. 



The George Wittbold Co. reports that 

 the total of sales for April was again 

 the greatest in the history of the firm. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is congratu- 

 lating itself on the condition of its 

 ferns in cold storage. On May 12 Mr. 

 Winterson said they still hau 600,000 re- 

 maining of what were stored last Sep- 

 tember, and he anticipates no trouble 

 in selling out by Decoration day or 

 thereabouts. 



George Eeinberg's vacating his pres- 

 ent quarters in the Atlas block leaves a 

 mascot room open for someone. Success 

 has attended the efforts of every tenant. 

 K. C. Amling occupied the space as long 

 as it would serve his purpose. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is enjoying a 

 remarkable cut of Chatenay. The buds 

 are of exceptional size, stem four feet 

 or more in length and well clothed with 

 foliage. 



Mrs. Kuske, of Niles Center, passed 

 away a few days ago at the age of 64 

 years. She was the widow of one of 

 the pioneer Niles Center growers, a part- 

 ner of Si'hiller and others in the earlv 



days. Mrs. Kuske was related to a num- 

 ber in the trade. 



George Poehlmann was called home on 

 Monday by word of the death of his 

 father-in-law. 



Walter Kennicott on Monday began 

 work as an inspector for the Illinois 

 Pure Food Commission. 



C. E. Morton has bought tickets for 

 himself and wife for a trip to England, 

 sailing July 10. 



C. L. Washburn returned on Wednes- 

 day from a week's stay at West Baden. 



Sinner Bros, are cutting the heaviest 

 rose crop in the history of their estab- 

 lishment. 



D. W. Brant returned on Tuesday 

 from a week's visit at Madison, N. J. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling 's, spent 

 Sunday at Gray's Lake — two fish and a 

 cold. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is receiving 

 thousands of Parrot tulips of especially 

 fine quality. 



P. J. Saunders, who has been out of 

 business for some years and part of the 

 time at his old home in Ireland, has 

 opened a neat store at Forty-ninth and 

 ( ottage Grove, a block from the stand 

 occupied for many years. 



F. Stielow says that he, in common 

 with other Niles Center growers, had 

 '■arnations all in the field before the 

 last frost, but he thinks little if any 

 damage has been done.
