.Meiiiioa Tbe Review wben tou write 



ing a retail store at 3401 West Madison 

 street. 



John Kruchten says that E. W. Pla- 

 ter, Carbondale, 111., is shipping peonies 

 of good quality and reports the usual 

 quantity. 



C. Frauenfelder is planning extensive 

 rebuilding operations at his place on 

 West Madison street during the sum- 

 mer. 



E. F. Kurowski, president of the John 

 C. Moninger Co., Mrs. Kurowski and C. 

 L. Washburn attended the funeral of 

 J, F. Wilcox at Council Bluffs, May 12. 



C W. McKellar is double-decking the 

 west side of his new store, largely in- 

 creasing his space. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion will hold its monthly meeting at 

 the Union May 16. 



A. L. Glaser, of Dubuque, was in 

 town May 13. 



S- R. Lundy, who for a year has repre- 

 sented the A. L. Bandall Co. in the far 

 west, has resigned. He intends going 

 into the retail end of the business, to 

 be with his family at Denver. 



Erne & Klingel report that their open- 

 ing day, which was postponed until 

 Monday, May 13, was all that could 

 have been desired and they were en- 

 tirely cleaned out, as one or two large 

 shippers did not get their word to 

 "come ahead" in time for the first 

 day. 



A. L. Vaughan states that the reports 

 he has received from his shippers of 

 peonies indicate that the crop will be in 



by Memorial day. Most of his corre- 

 spondents say that although the crop is 

 backward it will only take a few warm 

 days to bring them along. 



Phil Foley returned from a several 

 days' trip May 13 and found his little 

 daughter much improved. 



Payne Jennings says that judging 

 from the demand for newspaper cuts 

 and mailing cards for Mothers ' day, flo- 

 rists throughout the country are begin- 

 ning to realize the force which good 

 advertising exerts, and are making bet- 

 ter use of it than formerly. 



Among others inconvenienced by the 

 freight handlers' strike is the Pulver- 

 ized Manure Co., several shipments hav- 

 ing been considerably delayed. D. K. 

 Harris, the manager, says he hopes to 

 have little trouble from this source 

 after the next few days, as nonunion 

 workers are rapidly taking the strikers' 

 places. 



Frank Oechslin has installed two large 

 Grabowsky automobile trucks for deliv- 

 ery purposes. He says they have sev- 

 eral times the capacity of a wagon and 

 cover more tnan twice as much ground 

 in any given time. 



Mrs. Emma Wittbold, widow of the 

 late George Wittbold, is seriously ill 

 with pneumonia, but is said to be about 

 holding her own. 



Geo. F. Hughson, president of the 

 Hughson Steam Specialty Co., has 

 moved his downtown office from room 

 743 of the First National Bank building
