A LETTES FROM MOBEBLY, MO. 



I had the misfortune to fall on the 

 icy pavement early in January, receiv- 

 ing such injuries as to necessitate my 

 retiring from active business, which is 

 now being conducted by my husband, 

 H. V. Estill, and son, F, H. Estill, ably 

 assisted by my daughter, Louise, and 

 Miss Julia Guffey. The style of the 

 firm is Estill Floral Co. Business was 

 never better. While Easter was good, 

 the continued increase in plant trade 

 has made this month even better than 

 last. The greenhouses, seven in num- 

 ber, are full to overflowing with thrifty 

 stock, and 5,000 young carnations are 

 clamoring for the field. 



Our neighboring florists, Mr. and 

 Mrs. J. H. Meyer, report a highly satis- 

 factory season, and they are up to their 

 eyes in spring work. 



Although I am incapacitated for serv- 

 ice in the store, I am by no means 

 "laid on the shelf." I spend several 

 hours daily in the greenhouse and am 

 "advisory board" to both growing 

 force and selling force. 



Enclosed you will find $2 for the re- 

 newal of my subscription to The Re- 

 view for two years. The paper means 

 more, if possible, to me now than ever, 

 for since my accident I have had time 

 to read every word of it, and consider 

 it not only a business counselor, but a 

 personal friend. Mrs. R. S. Estill. 



TOLEDO, O. 



Fire destroyed the home of Emil 

 Kuhnke, on Holland avenue, about 7 

 'clock Tuesday morning, April 23. The 

 loss to building and contents is esti- 

 mated at $800. The fire originated in 

 the attic, probably from a defective 

 chimney. A wood fire in the kitchen 

 stove is thought to have communicated 

 a spark into the attic. The fire was 

 discovered by the fireman at the green- 

 houses and the family was notified. 

 Some of the household goods were 

 saved, but the fire had made such prog- 

 ress before the fire department could 

 arrive that the house was a total loss.
