Fkbuuaby 27, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



Current CotnmeaU 



Business still keeps up. There is 

 plenty of stock, except Beauties. Funer- 

 al work and dinners have kept the stores 

 on the go. 



Washington 's birthday was better than 

 last year. George Cooke had a unique 

 and well executed military dinner at 

 the Alibi Club. It included the repro- 

 duction of a fort. The sides were of 

 lyeopodiuni. , Twelve model guns fur- 

 nished by the officer giving the dinner 

 peeped through the sides. In the center 

 was a 4-foot disappearing gun. The 

 carriage and gun were made of black 

 immortelles. There were four piles of 

 cannon-balls, also made of immortelles. 

 On each end of the table was a plateau 

 of poinsettias and Farleyense fern. No 

 green of any kind wa? used on the table, 

 but the poinsettia bloom was laid all 

 over the cloth. 



The holiday windows were not con- 

 fined to one or two stores, as was the 

 case a few years ago, for with a few 

 exceptions the stores all had their win- 

 dows appropriately arranged for Wash- 

 ington's birthday: Portraits of Wash- 

 ington, flags, ardisias, with ribbon and 

 small hatchets, etc. 



Gude Bros. Co. had a full-sized cherry 

 tree, with southern smilax leaves and 

 artificial fruit. The tree was partly 

 chopped down, the hatchet lying be- 

 side the trunk. In the background was 

 a picture of Washington in a frame of 

 magnolia leaves, draped with a flag. 



The Washington Florist Co. had a 

 pretty window, using quite a few hatchets 

 in the decoration. 



George Schaflfer had an attractive win- 

 dow for the occasion. 



J. J. Harty reports business good. 

 His shipping was extra heavy last week. 



Francis Goehel, formerly ^vith the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, is now in 

 charge of Friendship, John R. McLean's 

 country place. 



Visitors this week were Mr. and Mrs. 

 Lester P. Baker and a brother of Mr. 

 Baker, from Syracuse, N. Y. ; S. S. Pen- 

 nock, Philadelphia. 



John Hauser and Miss Nellie Weiss 

 were married last week. Mr. Hauser 

 has been with George Fields for a num- 

 ber of years. Mr. Fields has been quite 

 ill with the grippe for the last two 

 weeks. O, O. 



I WISH that you would discontinue my 

 advertisement until further notice, as I 

 have all the inquiries that I am able to 

 take care of. — C. E. Franke, Supt. of 

 Parks, Oklahoma City, Okla.
