CHICAGO, ILL. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Van Gelder, doing business as Percy 

 Jones, the entire second floor of the 

 building for the term of three years, at 

 a rental of $4,300 a year. The present 

 tenant is the Flower Growers' Market' 

 Co., from which Percy Jones has a sub- 

 lease. 



It hap for son;ie time been understood 

 that Mr. Van Gelder was looking about 

 for accommodations which would pro- 

 Vide for increasing business. He now 

 has secured these, and something to 

 spare, but states that he has as yet 

 made no arrangements for the disposi- 

 tion of the space he will not require, 

 which is among the best in the whole- 

 sale section. The Flower Growers ' 

 Market Co. lease runs to May 1. 



A New Ventilator. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. recently has put 

 up in one of the houses of the Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, a new 

 ventilating apparatus, a patent on 



I 



which has been applied for. P. J. Foley 

 thinks he has in this the best develop- 

 ment of recent years in the line of 

 mechanical aids to the grower, assert- 

 ing that repeated tests show speed of 

 operation amounting to a saving of 

 from one-half to two-thirds the time 

 ordinarily required for raising the sash, 

 while little strength is required to lift a 

 long line of sash. He is preparing to go 

 ahead with the manufacture and mar- 

 keting of the apparatus on an extensive 

 scale. The Foley Mfg. Co. has just 

 taken the agency for the Giblin green- 

 house boiler. 



What's in a Name? 



Shakespeare tells us that "a rose by 

 any other name would smell as sweet," 

 but that a good name is a fine business 

 asset no one will deny. That many 

 Chicago florists have good names is 

 easily shown. For instance: Bohumil 

 Vacha has a prosperous business at 



2447 West Forty-seventh street, and 

 Kozakles & Sgoros handle a lot of 

 stock at 78 Madison. Then there are 

 Peter Sroczynski, perhaps better known 

 as Big Pete, whose gift for money- 

 making is well known, and A. Kowal- 

 kowski, whose place is at 4339 Thomas 

 street. If thafwere not enough, there 

 is Erich Arlt and B. Zima, Paul Pavel- 

 chik, the Wolniewiczes, Vlk, and 

 Raichart & Krejci, one and all men of 

 good names— if some of them difficult 

 to pronounce. 



Various Notes. 



At E. H. Hunt's the several depart- 

 ments are working overtime and C. M. 

 Dickinson says it is the busiest season 

 they have seen. W. E. Lynch has found 

 time to visit a few growers and says 

 favorable weather will mean great 

 crops next week.
