poses to have one of the finest flower 

 stores in the country. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is installing the 

 concrete benches in the last of the new 

 range just being completed and expects 

 to begin planting about May 1. Work 

 on the second range is being pushed. 



H. N. Bruus is one of the most re- 

 cent advocates of street car advertising. 

 He is displaying cards in the west side 

 lines near his store. 



Peter Reinberg is in the maelstrom 

 of the 70-cent gas contest, as he has 

 been appointed one of the city council 

 sub-committee of three to handle the 

 matter. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is preparing for 

 the biggest month of May in its his- 

 tory. E. E. Pieser says it is five years 

 since they have been able to supply all 

 the peonies that were called for by 

 the Decoration day demand. 



E. H. Blameuser, at Niles Center, has 

 welcomed a son into his family. 



Kyle & Foerster received the first 

 peonies of the season April 19 from a 

 far southern shipper. This is thought 

 to have been the earliest date on which 

 peonies ever were received in the Chi- 

 cago market. 



Bowling. 



May 7 the Milwaukee bowlers will 

 be down to repay the visit made them 

 a few weeks ago. There is expected to 

 be a big turn-out at Bensinger's alleys 

 to welcome them.

 small ones were in demand. The demand 

 for violets was insatiable. Hyacinths 

 and tulips seemed to sell extra well. 

 Large pans of these and of daffodils had
