PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



We do not care to talk much about 

 business at this time of the year, except 

 to say that stock has been gradually 

 getting scarcer, while trade remains 

 about the same. Vacations are the only 

 things worth thinking about and are 

 the only topic of conversation. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Katherine Lager and Joe Goth, 

 of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., re- 

 turned from their vacations Monday. 



The employees of the A. W. Smith 

 Co. have started their vacations. Al- 

 bert Hall is spending four months in 

 England, Scotland and Ireland; Murray 

 King is taking a look at Niagara Falls, 

 and Earl Tipton left Monday for the 

 home of the Altimo Culture Co., Can- 

 field, O., where he will spend the next 

 two months. 



The A. W. Smith Co. baseball team 

 played a match game Thursday even- 

 ing, June 29, with the team of the 

 Zieger Co. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams has taken a cot- 

 tage at Geneva for the summer and ex- 

 pects to entertain her friends in a 

 series of house parties. 



Bandolph & McClements' employees 

 report business as holding up so well 

 that there has been no opportunity to 

 consider vacations, but they are still 

 hopeful. 



Jas. Byerly and John McClements 

 are the champion florist tennis players, 

 and may be seen in the court any even- 

 ing. 



Allen Langhans, of the Pittsburg 

 Cut Flower Co., together with a friend, 

 left last Saturday for the head waters 

 of the Allegheny river. They will spend 

 their vacation in canoeing down the 

 stream, camping each night and doing 

 their own cooking, 



John Jones, president of the Florists ' 

 Club, is asking for volunteers who will 

 give their time to managing the picnic 

 this year. Hustle up, boys, and get 

 things going. 



John Wyland has just completed a 

 water reservoir with 3,000 barrels ca- 

 pacity on his place at Allison Park. 

 It is situated at the highest point on 

 the farm and commands a fine view of 

 the surrounding country. It is covered 

 with flooring and makes a fine dancing 

 platform. Mr. Wyland dedicated it last 

 Sunday, when he had a fine patriotic 

 service, with speeches by a minister and 

 several prominent attorneys. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



The best Labor Saving 



device on the place 



Charles Moebius, West Toledo, Ohio, writes us : 



" We find the Skinner System the best labor saving device we 

 have on the place, and in fact we could not do withont it. It will 

 water the ground evenly and will not cake the soil. We think the 

 man away out of date that uses a hose, as he will not be able to grow 

 such fine stuff without your watering device." 



This is but one of hun- 

 dreds 



. 



of similar letters we 

 have gotten from fiorists all 

 over the country.
