building is in a state of suspended ani- 

 mation. It is in a condition where it 

 appears that the plan, which has many 

 excellent features, may be put through 

 if there is anyone deeply enough in- 

 terested to push it, but it seems no 

 wholesaler has sufficient individual in- 

 terest in the consummation of the plan 

 to cause him to come forward and 

 tackle the large amount of work which 

 remains to be done to put through a 

 project in which so many men are con- 

 cerned and so large a sum involved. 

 That a number of wholesalers have ar- 

 rived at the conclusion that there is 

 not likely to be any general removal 

 from the present wholesale section is 

 shown by the leases they recently have 

 made. January 31, O. .Johnson, of the 

 Batavia Greenhouse Co., took a lease 

 for three years on the store .T. A. Bud- 

 long has occupied for some dozen years 

 and which is to l)e vacated May 1. 

 February 13, the Chicago Carnation Co. 

 took a two years' lease on the two 

 rooms just south of C. W. McKellar 

 and opi)osite Wietor Bros., on the sec- 

 ond floor of the Atlas block. This is 

 more space than the lessee requires, and 

 Manager Pyfer states that it is the 

 plan for Sinner Bros., M. C. Gunterberg 

 and D. Freres, now located in the 

 Flower Growers' Market, to occupy the 

 rooms jointly with the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., though no sub-leases have yet 

 been executed. 



The Flower Growers' Market lease 

 passes to Percy Jones May 1, and sev- 

 eral of those occupying space there 

 have now arranged individually for 

 quarters elsewhere. No arrangement 

 has yet been made for the continua- 

 tion of the market at another location. 



Phil Schupp, manager of the selling 

 end of the .T. A. Budlong business, has 

 several locations in view. He states 

 that it is the intention to largely in- 

 crease the facilities in whichever of the 

 new quarters is selected.

 ganization of a stock company to open 

 a new wholesale house. The promoters 

 and active managers of the house, if 

 established, are T. C. Yarnall and 

 George H. Pieser. The stock is being 

 placed with a number of interested 

 growers. It is understood the company 

 has an eye on the former E. C. Amling 

 location, now vacant, at 32 to 36 

 Randolph street.
