The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Febrdabt 4, 1909. 



ERIE, PA. 



Current G>inment* 



McKinley's birthday was observed 

 here January 29. There was a large de- 

 mand for carnations in all colors. The 

 florists had their windows decorated ap- 

 propriately. Baur's had the martyred 

 president's picture framed in a wreath 

 of magnolia, with Lawson carnations 

 and Sprengeri ferns in vases. Offerle & 

 Schaal had the American flag twined 

 around McKinley's picture. J. V. Laver 

 had pink and red carnations, with an ap- 

 propriate inscription on a card. 



Business has been brisk, with several 

 parties and two large funerals this week. 



A friend of the institution remem- 

 bered the Erie Academy with a large 

 box of Lawson carnations January 29, 

 so each student could wear one in honor 

 of the day. 



California violets are much in vogue 

 here at present and the quality is good. 



W. J. Beautus, representing the Day- 

 ton Paper Novelty Co.; S. T. Fletcher, 

 representing S. A. Weller, Zanesville, 

 O., and Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., were in the city on busi- 

 ness last week. 



Arthur Nyberg, who defrauded Vern 

 L. Schluraff while managing the latter 's 

 store in Conneaut, O., has been captured 

 in San Diego, Cal. He was formerly a 

 resident of Erie and had been employed 

 by Mr. Schluraff since his childhood, at 

 first as errand boy, then as a trusted em- 

 ployee in Mr. Schluraff 's local store, 

 and at last he was given charge of the 

 Conneaut store. It was while thus em- 

 ployed that Nyberg is said to have 

 passed fraudulent checks, victimizing 

 Mr. Schluraff and several Conneaut mer- 

 chants to the extent of $500. Chief of 

 Police Tinney, of Conneaut, laid a trap 

 for him, which he evidently walked into 

 without suspecting the result. B. P. 



Jess Frost has resigned his position 

 as assistant foreman for the Baur Floral 

 Co. and in the near future will erect a 

 house 20x100 to start for himself. Mr. 

 Frost has many friends in Eochester, 

 N. Y., his former home, as well as in 

 Erie, who will wish him success. 



Albion, Mich. — M. & S. L. Dysinger 

 say 1908 was the best year in the history 

 of their business. Their downtown store 

 has proved a success. 



I FEEL that I cannot get along and be 

 up to date without the Eeview. — W. H.
