WK ARK WHOLESAURS DOINO A STRICTLY WHOLESALE BUSINESS 



Mention The Review when you write 



sale business does not get half the at- 

 tention it deserves. 



Albert Sawyer, of River Forest, is 

 devoting more attention to real estate 

 and building business than to asters 

 this summer. His field of the Astermum 

 is not so large as usual and, instead of 

 shipping to local commission houses, his 

 daughter, Anna Grace Sawyer, expects 

 to use most of the crop in her retail 

 store. 



E. C. Amling says that the reason the 

 cut flower business has not been good 

 of late is that the weather has been so 

 favorable that the people are living 

 outdoors. ' ' Give us a little bad weather 

 to drive the people into their homes 

 again," says Mr. Amling, "and you 

 will find that the flower business will 

 pick up promptly." 



At the store of Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 E. E. Pieser pointed to some fine pots 

 of Golden Glow with the remark that 

 it was no use getting them in during 

 August; people don't want mums until 

 frost. 



The Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, 

 has doubled its plant at Maywood this 

 season. It will all be in Beauties. 

 John Michelsen says planting was be- 

 gun in the new houses last week. 



After having made a month's auto- 

 mobile tour to New England, Wm. A. 

 Peterson has been spending his week 

 ends at Winona Lake, Ind., where Mrs. 

 Peterson is active in a young women's 

 club. 



After the convention at Boston, A. L. 

 Vaughan and wife went to Hatfield, 

 Mass., where their daughter has been 

 visiting for a fortnight, to spend a 

 few days with W. E. Lynch and family. 

 After devoting many years to the cut 

 flower business in Chicago, Mr. Lynch 

 is now growing tobacco on a farm in 

 the valley of the Connecticut. 



Senator Kendreck has ordered an- 

 other steam boiler from the Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co. for his estate at Sheridan, 

 Wyo. 



According to all reports, Lubliner & 

 "Trinz are doing well on their moving 

 picture venture this summer. They have 

 ■Orchestra hall for ninety days at a 

 rental of $15,000. The business they 

 axe doing is said to be among the best 

 in town.

N. J. Wietor says that the early 

 mums never have paid, in the experi- 

 ence of Wietor Bros. Golden Glow is 

 no longer grown in quantity. On the 

 other hand, the firm has benched 40,000 

 plants of Bonnaffon and 30,000 plants 

 of Chadwiek, none of the newer sorts 

 having been found to compare with 

 these old favorites when it comes to 

 putting dollars into the cash drawer. 

 Mr. Wietor says that pompons paid well 

 last season in spite of the lower prices 

 and that they have been planted in in- 

 creased quantity this year. 



Arthur F. Keenan, who is a rather 

 close student of business conditions, 

 says that the summer has not been 

 much different fom any other, from the 

 point of view of south side retailers. 



Miss Nettie Parker, with the Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co., and Miss Olga A. 

 Tonner returned August 24 after a three 

 weeks' outing in Wisconsin. 



One of the standing complaints in 

 the market has been of the diflBculty for 

 the sales end to keep in touch with the 

 producing end in the country. The 

 Beichling brothers have solved this dif-

ficulty. The elder brother is in charge 

 of Peter Beinberg's greenhouses and 

 the younger brother is in charge of tie 

 store. Every day they have a confer- 

 ence over the telephone, the principal 

 purpose of which is to post the store 

 as to what is coming into crop. 



A. Lange says that the summer busi- 

 ness this year is about the same as two 

 years ago, but not up to the summor 

 of 1913, which was the best ever known. 



A. C. Schaefer, who handles the offi<'e 

 end of the Winterson business, has re- 

 turned from a fortnight's vacation in 

 his motor. 



A. C. Spencer comments that every- 

 body has been saying that there would
