com])anie(l by Anton fhen. Thfey ex- 

 pect to be absent about three weeks. 



Since his return from his vacation .]. 

 T. Schouten has been doing the buying 

 for the E. Wienhoeber Co., relieving 

 Frank Pasteruick, whose store duties 

 recently have occupied all his time. 



Eugene Kurowski and Elizabeth 

 Kurowski, his wife, are reported as 

 amon^ the Americans who had regis- 

 tered prior to August 29 at the T'nited 

 States embassy at Berlin. 



Out at 5329 South Rockwell street 

 John Leshyn is working up a prosperous 

 wholesale plant trade. He bought the 

 place about a year ago and now has 

 four houses, each 20x100, well stocked. 

 He is a good plantsman and looks for- 

 ward with confidence to a i)rosperous 

 season. 



After having spent twenty three 

 years with W. J. Smyth, Wm. Mc 

 Cormick has decided not to return to 

 Chicago for the present. He was called 

 to Slingerlands, N. Y., early in the sum- 

 mer by the illness of his octogenarian 

 mother and will remain. 



That the Christmas plant trade this 

 year will break all records is the belief 

 of G. C. Anderson, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., who reports a big demand for 

 young stock for growing on and who is 

 busy shifting the plants he will hold to 

 flower. 



The first mums of the season were cut 

 this week by the Albert T. Hey Floral 

 Co. Mr. Hey says he looks forward to 

 an excellent season, considering his 

 stock to look better than it has at this 

 «late in any year since he located at 

 Maywood. A few cattleyas are all that 

 have been cut in recent weeks. 



A catalogue in full color is soon to be 

 issued by the A. L. Randall Co., show- 

 ing its line of artificial material for 

 window decorators. A large business 

 has been worked up in this departn^ent, 

 principally with department stores. 



In four' years C. W. McKellar ran his 

 first Winton 60,000 miles, but in the 

 year he has had the second car he has 

 traveled only 10,000 miles. He says 

 that after one ha^ motored a distance 

 equal to nearly three times around the 

 world one doesn't drive quite so hard 

 as at the start. 



The decorations for the dressmakers' 

 convention, held at the Auditorium and 

 Congress hotels this week, were fur- 

 nished by M. Weiland, of Evanston. 



George Perdikas reopened his store in 

 the basement at 37 East Van Buren 

 street September 12. It was closed dur- 

 ing July and August.
