his home, and has resumed his business 

 duties. 



J. C. Elspermann, of Evansville, Ind., 

 has been in town for several weeks 

 and has made a number of calls on the 

 trade. His errand here was to accom- 

 pany Mrs. Elspermann, who was at- 

 tending a sick sister. 



Well-flowered mum plants have been 

 selling nicely in the last two weeks 

 with the Poehlmann Bros. Co. Not only 

 was a big lot of pot stock worked up, 

 but the plants bloomed unusually well. 

 As soon as the mum plants are cleared, 

 cyclamens will come to the front, with 

 azaleas in reserve. 



Harry Smyth, of the Wienhoeber 

 Co., says business has increased nicely 

 since the colder weather. He thinks 

 the erection of several exclusive apart- 

 ment buildings in the neighborhood has 

 helped trade, as many wealthy people, 

 formerly of the south side, have been 

 brought into the store 's home territory. 

 He reports a good sale of roses, but 

 says there does not seem to be a great 

 demand for Beauties. 



Hadley was bought only in quantity 

 for trial by Weiland & Risch and the 

 early indications at the Evanston es- 

 tablishment are said not to be specially 

 favorable. 



The store of Buchbinder Bros., on 

 Milwaukee avenue, is being redeco- 

 rated. Sidney Buchbinder has found 

 business good and reports numerous 

 sales, among them a large white enamel 

 refrigerator and wall case purchased 

 by Oscar Metz, 5523 Harper avenue, 

 and complete new store fittings for 

 Harry Kahn, in Englewood. 



William Conrade, of Toledo, is build- 

 ing a range of short-span houses for 

 vegetable growing. The A. Dietsch 

 Co. has the order and is turning the 

 material out in double-quick time, as 

 Mr. Conrade is anxious to be under 

 cover by November 15. All men at 

 the Dietsch plant not busy with the 

 orders in hand are at work overhauling 

 the boilers and engines in preparation 

 for the early spring rush which is 

 expected. 



A new prepared foliage, lycopodium, 

 commonly known as bouquet green, 

 has met with an instantaneous demand, 

 according to Theodore Kirchen, mana- 

 ger for Oscar Leistner. Lycopodium is 

 preserved and stained a natural green 

 and is used for decorating much the 

 same as the ordinary moss, but is far 

 more lasting. 



Biding the crest of the tidal wave 

 that carried the entire democratic 

 county ticket to victory November 3, 

 Peter Reinberg was elected president

■vryHENEVER you hear a brother florist talking refrigerators or 

 store fixtures, you will hear the name BUCHBINDER men- 

 tioned when the best is spoken 'of. You, yourself, know that 

 BUCHBINDiR stands for "just a little more" in quality, style 

 and service, so why do you hesitate? You cannot do better, and 

 often not as well, elsewhere. 



This reputation has not been handed to us for nothing. We 

 have earned it.
