The Florists' Review 



Fkbruary 1;{, 1913. 



will staml Htteeii to twenty roun<l trips. 

 Because of the ability to get a better 

 price, the boxes are bought in lots of 

 1,000 at a time. 



Visitors: George H. Kranz, Musca- 

 tine, Ja.; E. S. Thompson, Wni. Espel, 

 Benton Harbor, Mich. 



The .John ('. Moninger Co. has the 

 order for the material for an addition 

 to the range of F. F. Scheel, at Sher- 

 merville. Mr. Scheel says he expects 

 to have the houses ready for early 

 planting to carnations. Kyle & Foerster 

 are his selling agents. 



Quite a few florists went out to Oak 

 f^ark February 8 to attend the opening 

 of the new building of the State Bank 

 of Oak Park, of which E. <". Amling 

 is president. The officers and directors 

 and their wives were the reception 

 committee and the best people of the 

 suburb attended in large numbers. 

 There were flowers everywhere, music, 

 refreshments and souvenirs. It was 

 one of the social events of the season. 

 The bank was organized eight jnonths 

 ago and has had much success, having 

 now $3.");j,000 of resources. The nevv 

 building, opened Saturday, already is 

 known as the model small bank of the 

 country. It is a gem. The main bank- 

 ing room is marble. The ladies', con- 

 sultation, coupon rooms, etc., are Cir- 

 cassian walnut. President Amling 's 

 private mom and the directors' room 

 are all mahogany, and there is nothing 

 finei" in any of the big banks downtown. 



M. ( . Gunterberg comments on the 

 improved outlet for violets at the dose 

 of last week, but says that for a long 

 time, if jirices were not made attractive 

 to buyers, they never returned, indicat- 

 ing that if the buyer went far enough 

 he always could find a place where he 

 could make his own jirices. 



Bert Budlong has returned from 

 Cramer, Ind., where he has spent many 

 weeks, and is feeling fine as the result 

 of the treatment there. 



Fritz Bahr has returned to Highland 

 Park after a trip to southern Cali- 

 fornia. He was there during the recent 

 cold snap, but is enthusiastic over the 

 climate and possibilities of the country. 



A. L. Randall Co. still is at work on 

 the rearrangement of store and offices.

The (((lice has been given greatly in- 

 creaseil space on the third floor of the 

 building, the ribbons have gone to a 

 more accessible location on the second 

 floor and now a new main entrance has 

 been put in, the ticket writers' cage 

 being removed from the center of the 

 room to a position near the door, giv- 

 ing greatly increased available space 

 for cut flower sales. Another 4o foot 

 ice box is in contemplation.
