Mention The Review wben you write- 



William A. Starrett, of the Chicago 

 Carnation Co.; Tim Matchen, sales 

 manager for Peter Eeinberg; E. E. 

 Farley, of the Percy Jones staff, and 

 George Klehm, of Klehm's Nurseries. 

 Names proposed for membership were: 

 John W. Starrett, H. B. Dorner, Will- 

 iam Wolniewicz, Nic. Karthauser, 

 John W. Schmidt, George Goebel, Guy 

 M. Beburn, Valdav Bezdek and Adolph 

 Malehow. 



It was voted to have a supper, Dutch 

 treat, following the January meeting, 

 and A. C. Kohlbrand and his November 

 banquet committee were retained for 

 the job. 



November Business. 



November 'was a generally satisfac- 

 tory month. The retailers had good 

 trade and the record in the wholesale 

 district is generally ahead of the month 

 in any previous year. There was a 

 dull week at the opening of the month, 

 but steadily thereafter demand gath- 

 ered volume and prices averaged bet- 

 ter than in recent Novembers. Thanks- 

 giving was great, and if coming months 

 maintain the November record every- 

 one will be happy. 



November Weather. 



It was the coldest November since 

 1903, and in strong contrast with No- 

 vember, 1909, this year the mean tem- 

 perature having been 36 degrees, as 

 against 48 degrees last year. The per- 

 centage of sunshine, 45, was nearly 

 normal. The wind movement was 

 considerably below the average, which 

 perhaps saved something on coal con- 

 sumption to offset the lower tempera- 

 ture. 



Various Notes. 



C. A. Samuelson expects to have his 

 new Packard delivery automobile in 

 service before December 15. He is 

 somewhat hampered in the meantime, 

 as the auto was expected several weeks 

 ago, and several horses and wagons 

 were sold in anticipation of its arrival. 

 Delays were met with, however, and it 

 left Mr. Samuelson with a considerably 

 depleted delivery service, but relief is 

 now in sight.
