in their second year. The production 

 thus far has proven heavy and the Maids 

 in particular have been giving a good 

 account of themselves. A. H. BucUong 

 is reported a firm convert of grafted 

 stock. 



Martin Peterson says business is ex- 

 cellent on the northwest side. 



The Drexel Floral C!o. has been in- 

 corporated with $1,000 capital stock. 

 The incorporators are William T. Un- 

 derwood, Delavan B, Cole and Alvin L. 

 McElroy. The articles of incorporation 

 state that the purpose is to conduct a 

 flower and confectionery business. 



It is reported that August Poehlmann 

 is one of the stockholders in the new 

 life insurance company of which Philip 

 Breitmeyer, of Detroit, is president. 



President H. N. Bruns has appointed 

 the following committee to represent the 

 Florists' Club at the flower show at the 

 Coliseum beginning November 6: John 

 P. Degnan, chairman; A. L. Vaughan, 

 Alex Henderson. 



Logan Kring, of Fairbury, 111., was 

 in Chicago Sunday and with E. C. Am- 

 ling went out to Hinsdale to see Edward 

 Ering, who is resting up in a sanitarium 

 there. They found him much improved. 

 Kring Bros, are among Mr. Amling's 

 consignors. They have been exception- 

 Jilly successful with carnations the last 

 two seasons. 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett re- 

 turned October 20 from a month's stay 



at Mount Clemens. Mrs. Bassett was 

 greatly improved in health. 



Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heyme have re- 

 turned from a trip to Europe. Before 

 sailing they sold out their store at 5422 

 South Halsted street to a man in another 

 line of business. They now have se- 

 cured another store only a few doors 

 away and arc fitting it up as a first- 

 class retail establishment. 



C. A. Samuelson says business has not 

 opened this fall as early as it usually 

 does. One thing that hurts him, and it 

 will soon affect W. J. Smyth's transient 

 trade, is the repaving of Michigan ave- 

 nue, which is now in progress south of 

 Twenty-second street. Good progress is 

 being made, but in the meantime travel 

 is diverted to Prairie avenue. 



Last week some of the wholesalers 

 were in receipt of a telegram which 

 read: "Our bookkeeper is coming. 

 Treat her well. Smith & Fetters. ' ' Miss 

 Lucile Esther Schmitt arrived in due 

 course and it is hoped was pleased with 

 her reception. Certainly she pleased the 

 wholesalers, not only personally but by 

 her knowledge of flowars and buying. 

 She ordered a lot of stock and since her 

 return to Cleveland has been wiring for 

 much more. Evidently business is good 

 in Cleveland. 



The wholesalers' employees are more 

 than pleased with the prospects for their 

 second annual reception on the evening 

 of October 30. Columbia hall and Fitz- 



gerald's orchestra have been secured, the 

 same as last year. The sale of tickets 

 has been ahead of anticipation. 



Carl N. Thomas arrived October 21, 

 after having spent the summer on his 

 farm at West Springfield, Pa., and be- 

 gan selling with the A. L. Bandall Co.. 

 in the middle of the morning rush, it 

 is said, right where he left off in the 

 Easter rush last year. At any rate, he 

 bottled up an abundant supply of energy 

 for the winter. 



Stollery Bros, report trade on the 

 north shore about as usual this season. 



Jensen & Dekema are sending the E. 

 F. Winterson Co. blooms of the Winsor 

 carnation with stems fully twice as long 

 as most growers are cutting. They gave 

 their stock indoor summer culture. 



Geo. Eeinberg and his bride have re- 

 turned from a fortnight's wedding trip 

 to Colorado. 



Hugh Wood is one reader of the Bj:- 

 viEW who does not read it, paradoxical 

 as that may sound. His sight has become 

 so bad that he has the paper read to 

 him each week by a nurse. He has been 

 in the hospital five times for operations 

 on his eyes and will have another op- 

 eration soon. 



F. W. Timme, Jr., formerly with the 

 J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., at Jo- 

 liet, is now with Vaughan & Sperry. 



Percy Jones states that he has a lease 

 under negotiation which will probably 

 on November 1 take the last vacant stand
