Announcement is made of the in- 

 corporation of the Adams-Robertson 

 Co., with $5,000 capital stock. Dun- 

 can A. Bobertson is president and Wal- 

 ter W. Adams, secretary and treasurer. 

 The company has leased a store at the 

 corner of Bellevue place and Bush 

 street and will open for business Oc- 

 tober 2. Both members are former 

 employees of the E. Wienhoeber Co. 



Miss Carrie Torgerson, who is one of 

 Frank Johnson's right-hand men with 

 the A. L. Bandall Co., has returned 

 from a summer's trip to Norway. She 

 sailed June 22 and had a most de- 

 lightful experience. 



N. J. Wietor, whose trotter is one 

 of the fastest on the Eidge avenue 

 boulevard, has an attack of motoritis. 

 He is spending considerable time in 

 automobile row because there are so 

 many really fine cars that it is hard for 

 a horseman to make a choice. 



W. J. Smyth returned to the store 

 September 18, intending to give it his 

 undivided attention and full time for 

 the next ten months. July 15 he left 

 for a six weeks' California trip, and 

 since his return has been at Lake Marie, 

 where he has a summer home. William 

 McCormick, of the Smyth force, left 

 September 15 for a three week's vaca- 

 tion at his old home at Slingerlands, 

 N. Y. s , 



The smash i at Peter fi«einbeig''s 

 greeahoudes September IS so lilftle dis- 

 turbed that gentleman that he presided 

 that evening at a democratic caucus 

 with his usual urbanity. 



C. Fred Bowe, of Muir's, whose out- 

 look on Michigan boulevard is the 

 bi<oadest in town, says he notes many 

 flower buyers among the passers-by re- 

 turned from their summer outings and 

 only waiting for the passing of sum- 

 mer weather to turn their steps toward" 

 the flower stores. / 



The Eaedlein Basket Co. says that 

 fall trade has started in good shape 

 and many calls for candy baskets for 

 the Christmas holidays are received. 

 Apparently the candy trade looks far- 

 ther ahead than most of the florists. 



Nearly all the field-grown stock at 

 the Edgebroek" greenhouses is now 

 indoors and protected from the fall 

 frosts. ,,,..,, j, 



The first of the \gp^4^H, .'Jahifwents 

 have been received oy Ih^, Aoibui-pdale 

 Goldfish Co., 920 West Rahdolph street.
