When Albert Amling and Mrs. Amling 

 were last heard from they were in 

 Switzerland, having made an automo- 

 bile trip from Berlin into Italy. The 

 letter was written July 22, and they are 

 supposed to be back in Berlin by now. 



OUie Zeeh, of Zech & Mann, and Jo- 

 seph Weiss, the north side retailer, re- 

 turned August 1 from a fortnight's 

 fishing trip to Tomahawk lake. They 

 were accompanied by Mrs. Zech. Sev- 

 eral boxes of fish preceded them.

 Co., is at Torch lake for a fortnight 's 

 fishing, A. E. Cole and wife have re- 

 turned from a trip to Quebec. 



C. A. AUes, with "Wietor Bros., says 



orders received by mail August 3 cleaned 

 up the firm's supply of young chrysan-

 is vacationing. 



A. I. Simmons appeared in the mar- 

 ket August 3, after having spent three

 engaged in another line of business. Mr. 

 PoUworth will have charge of the de- 

 partment of growers' supplies. J. E. 

 Killen represents the concern at the 



convention of the Canadian Horticul-

 supply houses. Shipments from Oer- 

 many already have ceased and it is ex- 

 pected many shortages will result. Au-

 Randall Co. received a consignment of 

 thirty-two dozen chrysanthemums, most- 

 ly Golden Glow, but including a few

 buyers are not keen for mums at this 

 time of year.

 Adams, near neighbors on the north
