employers and the saving instinct of the 

 enterprising buyer. 



One of the wholesale florists of New 

 York has shown his practical friendship 

 for the club by purchasing thirty tickets 

 for the outing. This is the loyalty that 

 counts. 



The committee of the Florists' Club 

 Las oifered a special prize of $10, to be 

 competed for by the wholesale and retail 

 ball clubs July 1. 



Frank Millang and family have gone 

 for the summer to their country home up 

 the Hudson. Mr. Millang and Mr. Volke, 

 of the Coogan building, third floor, front 

 and back, have both fully recovered from 

 their little tussles with pneumonia.

 in the Pennsylvania mountains, where he

Phil Kessler averages over 1,000 lilies 

 daily in sales for his Greek grower over

 what they cost, and I look after them." 

 That is the secret always, and it is easy 

 to solve. 



Monday evening, June 7, the retailers

 smoker. Doubtless they will invite all 

 the wholesalers to this function, and 

 much harmony will prevail, as usual. 



With becoming modesty, the Beauty 

 king has named h\§- new boy after his 

 Uncle Charles. There are now three of 

 the Millang boys in the Coogan building, 

 one on each floor. Charles has leased the 

 ground floor for five years, and it is quite 

 likely will concentrate his wholesale 

 energies at this location.

Brooklyn, N. Y. — A horse driven by 

 William Wentz, and attached to a flo- 

 rist's wagon, was frightened recently by 

 an automobile and ran away, finally col- 

 liding with a sweeping machine and be- 

 coming so entangled in the operating 

 gear of the machine that nearly an hour 

 was required, it is said, to set the animal 

 free. The horse's head and neck were 

 badly cut, but the driver escaped with 

 only slight bruises. The wagon was load- 

 with plants belonging to Tony Cassio, of 

 350 Woodward avenue, and Percy Dulay, 

 of 73 Steward street. About half the 

 load was destroyed.
