Amling to Move. 



The E. C. Amling Co. has secured a 

 lease on the store at 19 and 21 Ean- 

 dolph street and has ordered new fix- 



tures, which are promised to be in place 

 r.o that removal will occur about Janu- 

 ary 6. The store is 40x165, running 

 back to an alley, which will give ex- 

 ceptional convenience for the receiving 

 and shipping departments. A new ice- 

 box 10x30 and eight feet high is being 

 built by Orr & Lockett, in addition to 

 the old ones which will be moved. The 

 offices will be at the Eandolph street 

 front. 



This will be not only the largest 

 floor space occupied by any strictly cut 

 flower house, but it will be the only 

 ground floor wholesale store in Chicago. 

 Mr. Amling states that the move has 

 been made necessary by rapidly in- 

 creasing business. 



The four upper floors of the building 

 at 19 and 21 Bandolph street are occu- 

 pied by the A. L. Randall Co.

 was confined to his home at the open-

ing of the week. G. H. Pieser, presi- 

 dent of the Kennicott Bros. Co., is still 

 confined to his home, with no imme- 

 diate prospect of his being able to re- 

 sume business. Mrs. E. E. Pieser, wife 

 of the treasurer of the company, is 

 quite ill and the mother of the Pieser 

 brothers, who is well advanced in years, 

 also in confined to her bed. H. W. 

 Rogers, of Weiland & Risch, has been 

 aosent for several days, fighting off 

 pneumonia. 



W. H. Hilton, at 1320 East Sixty- 

 third street, is having much of his 

 busiest season, for he now has a big 

 bon bon business in addition to his 

 blossoms. 



August Poehlmaun and Adolph Poehl- 

 raann, with a force of packers from the 

 greenhouses, are helping out in the 

 store this week. 



C. A. Samuelson has his new Packard 

 delivery ear in service. It is one of 

 the handsomest in town. 



Emil Buettner was among the grow-

 Leonard Kill, and her two children, ac- 

 companied by Mrs, C. Kronenberger 

 and Miss Mary Kill, sisters of Mr Kill
