an ideal location for an up-to-date 

 flower store, as it is in a progressive, 

 growing section of the city, and I think 

 it will not be long before a combina- 

 tion will be effected that will cause 

 this sign to be hung to the breeze: 

 " Steinbrenaer Bros.," and then will 

 be added still more of the vim and 

 vigor that are bound to make the 

 neighbors sit up and take notice. 



Harry Dow, seedsman and florist, 

 on Lppain avenue, although a new firm 

 in an old location, is making rapid prog- 

 ress and the future looks bright. This 

 firm will shortly add an entirely new, 

 modern front to the store and will 

 make other needed improvements which 

 will give them the desired prestige on 

 the street. ' ' Watch us grow ' ' would 

 be a good sign for this energetic house. 



At the Ehrbar Floral Emporium, 

 which is ably managed by Prank Bren- 

 del, a former Pittsburgh boy, we found 

 them just finishing an exceedingly busy 

 day of funeral work. Here they use 

 up the products of the Ehrbar farm, 

 which has gone heavily into the grow- 

 ing of hardy flowers and annuals of 

 all kinds. This farm is a pet institu- 

 tion, lately started by Fred Ehrbar, the 

 proprietor of the company, who is lay- 

 ing the foundations now for a future 

 revenue which can never be disturbed 

 by bank failures. 



Wilhelmy Bros., on Lorain avenue, 

 were busy with funeral work, of which 

 they get a large share. Their store has 

 lately been improved by the addi- 

 tion of a commodious ice-box and sev- 

 eral counters, tables and an office desk, 

 all finished in white enamel, which 

 gives the whole place a decidedly pleas- 

 ing and neat appearance. This firm also 



Growers, Attention! 



Why not sell your own stock? 

 We have the finest location in - ■ 



the Chicago market and space 

 enough to accommodate sev- 

 eral growers selling their own 

 stock.

operates an attractive store in Lake- 

 wood, a wealthy section of the city 

 that is growing rapidly. 



At the establishment of Knoble 

 Bros., on West Twenty-fifth street, was 

 found a thoroughly up-to-date "parlor 

 store," which would be a credit to any 

 city. Advertising is brought down to 

 a science here and the results are mani- 

 fest. Miss Knoble, who was in charge 

 at the time, was kept busy answering 

 telephone calls and orders for Boston 

 ferns, which were a ' ' special ' ' that 

 day. This is the home of the "dollar 



box," and the legend, " Knoble 's $3 

 Spray," looks at you in bold type 

 from every prominent newspaper. 



Since the Ohio Floral Co. moved 

 across the street to its present location, 

 on West Twenty-fifth street, the firm's 

 business has made rapid strides. Al- 

 though the new store is four times the 

 size of the .old one, there is none too 

 much room. One of the best features 

 here is a large, light workroom, where 

 all the" designs and decorations are as- 

 sembled, keeping all the mess and litter 

 out of the front show room.
