April 7, 1910. 



32 YEARS AT IT 



We have on our books a number of buyers who have 

 bought of U8 steadily for more than thirty years — if 

 they have tried others, they came back. 



Never better able to take care of the trade.

Variotts Notes. 



In Tuesday's election Peter Reinberg 

 was reelected to the city council by a 

 vote of 4,539. There was no republican 

 candidate, though this was formerly a 

 republican ward. A prohibitionist got 

 1,101 votes. J. C, Behrer made little 

 impression on the republican plurality in 

 his ward and C. A. Strail, brother of 

 Fred Strail, of Bohannon's, fell 1,200 

 votes short. 



Announcement has been received of the 

 marriage of Gabriel Harris Pieser and 

 Mrs. Kathleen Bronson "Worley at Aurora, 

 111., Saturday, March 26. Mr. Pieser is 

 president of the Kennicott Bros. Co., and 

 it was for his bride that Frank Schramm, 

 of Arlington Heights, named his new 

 light pink carnation, Kathleen B. W., 

 which was exhibited at the Pittsburg 

 meeting of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety. 



E. C. Amling says he is urging all his 

 ..^IweM. aot to JOfiglect iheir stoet just 

 because prices now are low, for he feels 

 sure there will be several weeks of good 

 flower selling before the end of the sea- 

 son and that it will be the growers with 

 the best stock who will get the money. 



Mons Olson is again on deck in the 

 store of Poehlmann Bros. Co., after ten 

 days' illness. He looks the picture of 

 health and has hard work making people 

 believe he did not spend the time tinker- 

 ing the automobile. 



C. L. Washburn reports that his son, 

 E. B. Washburn, and wife are enjoying 

 their California trip. Mr. Washburn's 

 health has been much benefited. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. had an unusu- 

 ally heavy run of funeral work early this 

 week, including the double funeral in the 

 Patterson family April 4. 



Max Eingier, of the Vaughan & Sperry 

 staff, began a fortnight's term of jury 

 service April 4. The senior partner did 

 a term in March, so the firm seems to be 

 doing its share in dispensing justice. 



The Atlas Floral Co., which has occu- 

 pied only a part of the store since its 

 removal to the present location last May, 

 gets the entire store beginning May 1. 

 Mrs. Williams has charge of the selling 

 and says the only trouble in doing busi-

I W. N. Crosby, who represents the 

 tjnited States Express Co. in the whole- 

 sale cut flower district, says the records

 per cent greater than it was four or five 

 years ago.

 the Percy Jones business, reports the ar-
