ing. It is on the corner the Mangel 

 and Gallagher stores have occupied for 

 many years. Mr. Williams is in a 

 sanitarium at Kenilworth, so ill that 

 reports of his death have been cur- 

 rent, although i* is stated that he is 

 alightly improved this week. Mrs. 

 Williams, vi^ho conducts the Alpha 

 Floral Co., says the new store will be 

 opened about February 1, under tho 

 name of the Williams Floral Co., with 

 Fred Sjtrail in charge. The arrange- 

 ment of the space is unusual and a store 

 decidedly out of the ordinary is prom- 

 ised.

 Co., reports that the parcel post is 

 proving useful in the supply depart- 

 ment, many small packages going that 

 way cheaper than by express. The 

 company has just completed a distribu- 

 tion of artistic calendars. 



E. C. Amling's bank at Oak Park 

 will move into a fine r.ew building about 

 February 1. The bank stock, originally 

 issued at $125 per share, now is held

 into a new residence in Oak Park, next 

 door to the one he has occupied for 

 many years. 



It is reported in the market that 

 Henry Wittbold has sublet a portion 

 of his space at Wabash and Randolph 

 to someone starting as a wholesale 

 florist, but it has not been possible to 

 confirm the story. A wholesaler al- 

 ready occupies part of the same floor. 



Bernard J. Schmierer, of the North 

 Shore Floral Co., 6566 Sheridan road, 

 has taken an option on property near 

 the Rogers Park station, where he 

 plans to build a store, greenhouses and 

 flats in case other building operations 

 in the neighborhood do not turn out 

 to his disadvantage.
