Mention The Review when you write. 



buying for W. .1. Smyth, says that since 

 the market has eased up there has 

 been no special reason for complaint. 

 Funeral work is steady and heavy. 



August Poehlmann states that in the 

 month of February Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 unloaded 152 cars of cpal. At one time 

 in January some of their sheds where 

 they have only limited storage capacity 

 were down to forty-eight hours ' supply. 



It is announced that the Skinner Irri- 

 gation Co., of Troy, O., has purchased 

 all the patents and good will in connec- 

 tion with the Wittbold watering sys- 

 tem from E. H. Hunt, Inc., Chicago, to 

 whom they had been previously as- 

 signed by Louis Wittbold, the inventor. 



Otto Wittbold says the call for bed- 

 ding stock is increasing daily at the 

 Edgebrook greenhouses and the Easter 



bulb stock is being brought in from 

 outside. Pans of tulips already in 

 bloom are much in evidence. Easter 

 lilies are a little short of stem for cut- 

 ting, but should make good pot plants. 

 The spira-as are beginning t.o show 

 color. 



Frank Oechslin says business has been 

 remarkably good considering the cold 

 weather. His Easter rose plants are 

 already showing a fine lot of buds and 

 the rest of the blooming stock is in 

 good shape. Mr. Oechslin says the 

 ground was so badly frozen that the 

 digging of bulb stock was difficult, 

 but he now has the Easter allotment 

 all in the houses. 



Fred Lautenschlager is making an 

 extensive eastern trip for Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co. 



"The biggest February business in 

 our history," is the way D. K. Harris, 

 manager for the Pulverized Manure 

 Co., expresses it. 



John C. Moninger Co. has made a 

 number of recent additions to the office 

 force, including Mr. Rupp, Jr., who 

 will assist Mr. McKee with the adver- 

 tising. A large punch press and other 

 new machinery has been added to the 

 factory equipment. 



A runaway at Edgebrook nearly re- 

 sulted in the death of one of the Witt- 

 bold horses February 28. A team be- 

 came frightened at a train while the 

 driver was unloading boxes at the 

 freight station. In the scramble re- 

 sulting the shaft of the wagon broke 

 and was driven part-way through the 

 neck of one of the horses. *
