Moninger's Movements. 



The John C. Moninger Co. supplies the 

 following statement: 



"Several reports are being made re-^ 

 garding our purchase of a building ad- 

 joining our present property and some of 

 these are conflicting and confusing. To 

 make the matter clear, we will say we 

 have bought, from the American Malting 

 Co., a piece of property 150 feet on 

 Hawthorne avenue and 135 feet deep; 

 also a five-story building 90x123 feet and 

 a seven-story elevator 42x70 feet. The 

 seven-story elevator is being wrecked to 

 make space for a driveway connecting 

 our private switch with our new lumber 

 yard. The five-story building will be 

 used for a warehouse for boilers, pipe 

 and heating materials, also for the man- 

 ufacture of all iron work entering into 

 the construction of our various types of 

 houses. This building gives us much 

 •needed room and will enable us, when 

 remodeled, to handle a much larger vol- 

 ume of business than heretofore. Changes 

 in the construction are now being made 

 and we expect to move part of our plant 

 into the new quarters about May 10. ' ' 



Apnl Weather. 



It may be a surprise to hear from the 

 weather man that the month of April at 

 Chicago was 5.3 degrees warmer than 

 normal. According to the official rec- 

 ords, the excessively warm weather of 

 March continued during April with but 

 slight interruption until after the middle 

 of the month. Then came a cool period 



of ten days, but the last three days were 

 warmer than normal. During the cold 

 snap the temperature went 19 degrees 

 -below normal and 6.4 inches of snow fell, 

 being more than nine times the average 

 snowfall for the whole of a normal April. 

 There was an abundance of sunshine 

 during the first fifteen days and a de- 

 cided deficiency during the last half of 

 the month, the average for the entire 

 month being four per cent below normal. 



Various Notes. 



After twenty-five years the name of 

 Hauswirth has ceased to be connected 

 with the flower business in Chicago. E. 

 J. Hauswirth, who has conducted the 

 store in the Congress hotel since the 

 death of his mother, closed up April 

 30 and will go to Twin Lakes, Wis., to 

 live on a chicken farm. His father was 

 in the flower store in the Auditorium and 

 Congress hotels from the day the orig- 

 inal Auditorium building was opened 

 until his death, in 1906, and his son had 

 himself spent sixteen years there. Haus- 

 wirth 's closing leaves the Congress hotel 

 without a flower store, the space having 

 already been leased for other purposes. 

 Hauswirth has for years been one of 

 the large buyers in the wholesale mar- 

 ket, much of the stock being consumed 

 on business originating within the hotel. 

 It is thought that O. J. Friedman now 

 will get this work and that space for 

 handling it will be found for him inside 

 the hotel. Friedman recently gave up 

 his stand for the sale of flowers in the 



La Salle, where there now '3 no florist 

 except John Sterritt, who is employed 

 by the house merely to look after the 

 flowers for the public tables and public 

 rooms. 



John Kruchten's 2-y.ear-old boy was 

 seriously bitten by a bulldog April 29. 

 The brute seized the child by the jaw, 

 inflicting bad wounds in the throat and 

 also inside the mouth. The physicians 

 say the case is a serious one, but that 

 with good care there is no reason why 

 the boy should not escape permanent 

 injury. 



WilUam Homburg, formerly with the 

 J. B. Deamud Co., is now Phil Schupp's 

 right-hand man at J. A. Budlong 's. 

 Charley Zapfe, of this house, was taken 

 ill last week and was operated on for 

 appendicitis April 30 at the Eavenswood 

 hospital. The latest reports of his con- 

 dition indicate that he is getting along 

 as well as could be expected. 



John Mangel looks after the flower 

 needs of the management of the new 

 Blackstone hotel and has a sales space 

 within the hotel. It is not a "store." 

 There is not room for handling work of 

 an important character, or, indeed, for 

 carrying much stock, but it affords the 

 fashionable frequenters of the place an 

 opportunity to get their corsage and gift 

 flowers without going outside. 



StoUery Bros, will occupy a handsome 

 new store and conservatory to be erected 

 for them at the corner of Kenmore and 

 Winthrop avenues. The building is to
