MenOOD Thf Revtei* when vou wnte 



stopped because of a missing license 

 number, which he had dropped several 

 miles back. Accompanied by an offi- 

 cer, the car retraced its course, and 

 the missing number was found, thus 

 establishing an alibi strong enough for 

 the test of Niles justice, 



July 14 P. L. McKee made a sec- 

 ond trip to- Milwaukee to appear be- 

 fore the Western Classification Com- 

 mittee in support of the petition for a 

 change in classification of greenhouse 

 material filed by the John C, Moninger 

 Co. Mr. McKee took a model green- 

 house with him, to show the commit- 

 tee just what articles enter into the 

 construction and how, under the pres- 

 ent classification, some of the articles 

 that constitute no large part of the 

 whole affect the classification and raise 

 the freight rate when all the materials 

 go forward as one shipment. 



Mrs. Percy Jones states that a spe- 

 cialist was called in last week to ad- 

 vise in the case of H. Van Gelder, 

 whose illness was diagnosed as inflam- 

 mation of the inner tube of the ear, 

 threatening spinal meningitis. His 

 condition then was serious, but he has 

 improved rapidly and hopes to be 

 back at business in a few days. 



Frank Johnson says the July busi- 

 ness thus far has been much the best 

 in the history of the A. L. Kandall Co. 



Robert Northam and family are vis- 

 iting relatives at Montague, Mich. 



Charles Drissler, of the store staff 

 of Wietor Bros., with his wife and 

 daughter, is vacationing at Clear Lake, 

 Wis. 



Fred Liebermann won't be at the 

 club picnic to pitch for the Retailers, 

 as he has a regular Sunday engage- 

 ment as hurler for the winning Nap- 

 perday team. 



John Poehlmann says that Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. is handling as many 

 orders per day as in the middle of the 

 winter, the only difference between 

 January and July being that now the 

 orders do not run quite so large.
