aged the business successfully while he 

 was away. 



A new firm was established last week, 

 Blauvelt & Dicrks, at 50 West Twen- 

 ty-ninth street, and Lexington avenue and 

 Eighty-sixth street. The latter store was 

 opened Tuesday, September 15. Mr. 

 Dierks was with A. Warendorff for some 

 time. Both are practical men, and the 

 new store on Lexington avenue is in a 

 fine locality. Mr. Blauvelt says they will 

 do both a wholesale and retail business. 



The Starke Co., Inc., is established, with 

 Edward Schumacher president, John Kes- 

 sler vice-president, and A. M. Starke 

 treasurer. Mr. Schumacher is a real es- 

 tate man. Mr. Kessler has had much 

 practical experience with J. J. Foley, 

 of the Bowery. The conservatory at 52 



West Twenty-ninth street is already well 

 stocked with palms and ferns. 



Richard Walsh, for some fourteen years 

 with Mansfield, opens his new retail store 

 this week at Eighty-third street and Lex- 

 ington avenue. If new stores are straws 

 showing the blow of the wind, there 

 seems to be no lack of enterprise and 

 faith in the future. 



Miss A. Levitt, bookkeeper for Joseph 

 A. Fenrich for four years, has accepted 

 a similar position with A. J. Guttman. 



Burnett Bros, are moving this week to 

 72 Cortlandt street, a splendid location, 

 close to the ferry and handy for their 

 Jersey suburban customers. The new 

 store is much larger than their old one 

 on West street. George A. and Samuel 

 comprise the firm, the former doing the 



bulk of the traveling, assisted by Jack 

 Hunter, son of James Hunter, of Lamb- 

 ton Castle, England, now retired. The 

 firm does a large trade with the private 

 gardeners. 



Wertheimer Bros, are receiving many 

 compliments for the origination of the 

 new decorative material, Sparkling Dew- 

 drop chiffon. They report a large num- 

 ber of orders for the article. 



Reed & Keller are preparing a new 

 book of photos of original and up-to- 

 date designs. William Hanft, formerly 

 with Thomas Young, Jr., has had charge 

 of the work. 



J. J. Coan, manager of the John King 

 Duer establishment, at 644 Madison ave- 

 nue, has thoroughly beautified the artistic 

 store and evidently expects a boom this
