settled promptly through the efforts of 

 Charles Hunt.

 ciation is prepared to turn the second 

 floor of the market building over to 

 the visitors to the S. A. F. convention 

 as a meeting place and headquarters 

 for mail deliveries.

 up unusually well in the seed business 

 and no depression in the number of 

 orders or volume of business has been 

 noted.

 left July 27 for Indiana to spend his 

 vacation on a farm that is located near 

 where the fish bite, or where they are 

 supposed to bite. 



L. Baumann sends word that he will 

 return from his European trip in time 

 for the S. A. F. convention. Mr. Geld- 

 erman is busily engaged reading proof

 endeavor to complete it before Au- 

 gust 20. 



Carl Ickes says the business being 

 done this year by A. Dietsch Co. is un- 

 egualed in the history of the concern. 

 He thought last year's record could not 

 be beat, but this year's is much larger. 



Louis Wittbold returned last week 

 from his vacation, plus a good coat of 

 tan. 



Leopold Koropp is furnishing custom- 

 ers with a fan showing a baseball pic- 

 ture, "Safe," and a score card on the 

 front, with a word about Koropp 's 

 plants and cut flowers on the back. 

 This is timely advertising. Ed Haus- 

 wirth spent three days in "Wisconsin 

 last week and returned with a bad 

 case of sunburn. 



Curtis Kindler, of the Baedlein Bas- 

 ket Co., returned July 30 from a week's 

 sojourn at Fox Lake, 111. His sister, 

 Mrs. Edna Graser, is still vacationing 

 at Salt Lake City, but will return in 

 time to help with the preparations for 

 the Kaedlein basket display at the S. A. 

 F. convention. 



Business at H. N. Bruns' store is 

 ahead of last year and Mr. Billerbeck, 

 manager, says that is about all that can 

 be hoped for. The store has been some- 

 what enlarged by moving the partition 

 at the rear, and a new safe has been 

 installed to replace the one which was 

 broken into in June. 



Mr. Freund, sales manager for A. A. 

 Arnold, is making an extensive western 

 trip. 



Frank Oechslin says the new cluster 

 pepper, a new variety of the celestial 

 pepper, is making a hit with the trade.

 wreaths and garlands in addition to 

 their customary use for decorative pur- 

 poses. 



The White Sox baseball park, which i» 

 only half a block from the S. Wilks 

 Mfg. Co. factory, provides a tempta- 

 tion that H. M. Sedgwick sometimes 

 finds impossible to resist. 



Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co., is taking an active part m 

 convention arrangements and says b^ 

 is sure it will be a grand success. 



In order to save his entire ^^J^i 

 J. P. Sinner was forced to part witb 

 the fingers of his right hand, whico 

 were amputated July 25. The oi'sra- 

 tion was a successful one and Mr. Sin- 

 ner is now able to be on his fe^' 

 again, although it will be some tiffl* 

 before he will be able to work about 

 the plant. The amputation was tW 

 result of blood poison. .
