TO THE TRADE 



Open for Business Sept. 20, 1909 



We desire to announce to the trade the opening of our new wholesale 

 commission cut flower store at 



51 Wabash Ave., Chicagfo 



on Monday morning, Sept. 20, 1909, when we shall be prepared to 

 care for any and all business that may be oflfered to us. 



«» The many buyers (and consignors) with whom we have dealt personally 



know that the members of our new firm have many years of succeisful 

 experience on this market, and to others, whose prirsonal acquaintance 

 we hope soon to make, we wish to say that neither experience nor 

 facilities will be lacking to make our place a 



most satisfactory source of supply 



for all Cut Flowers and Greens. We have fitted up a store second to 



none, on the best floor on this market, and we shall have a large supply 



of all kinds of stock. We shall aim to do a considerable shipping trade — 



and solicit a trial order. Come in and inspect our stock and facilities.

the grounds, where everything is kept 

 that is needed to make up a first-class 

 nursery plant. 



The first stop was made at the large 

 concrete cold storage house, in course of 

 erection by twenty-five of the employees. 

 It is 80x120 and will store fifteen car- 

 loads. After a tramp through the nur- 

 sery, the rose and carnation houses in- 

 terested the growers. In carnations they 

 grow only White and Pink Enchantress, 

 and in roses, Richmond, Killarney, Chat- 

 enay, Bride and Maid. Everything was 

 looking its best. They are in charge of 

 Walter Weber. 



The members then were called into the 

 big potting shed, where the meeting was 

 opened by President W. C. Young, with 

 all the oflScers and thirty-five members 

 present. The regular routine business 

 being disposed of, the chair appointed 

 Messrs. Ammann and Sanders to install 

 the new oflScers, namely: George Wind- 

 ier, president; John Connon, vice-presi- 

 dent; J. J. Beneke, secretary; W. C. 

 Smith, treasurer; A. J. Bentzen, a three- 

 year-term trustee. The new president, 

 on taking the chair, made an opening 

 speech which greatly impressed the mem- 

 bers. 



W. C. Smith reported that the old 

 trustees could arrange for a meeting 

 hall in the Odd Fellows' building and se- 

 cure the old quarters where the club met 

 for fourteen years. The trustees were in- 

 structed to engage the old hall. Joseph 

 Hauser, of Webster Groves, was elected to 

 membership. The question box, as usual, 

 brought out a good discussion. 



Trustee Bentzen 's first duty was to 

 hold an auction sale of the club show 

 paraphernalia, which has been in stor- 



age for the last four years. They were 

 bought in by W. C. Smith. 



The meeting then adjourned, when re- 

 freshments of all kinds were served, with 

 plenty of good cigars. Two large wag-

 things in splendid .shape at all the places 

 they visited.
