tee August 5, at which the finance com- 

 mittee reported and steps were taken 

 to close up the final details of the con- 

 vention preparations. Secretary John 

 Young, of the S. A. F., is in town and 

 working with the convention com- 

 mittees. 



A. L. Randall Co. is making impor- 

 tant changes in the arrangement of the 

 store. The printing department has 

 been moved to the Randolph street 

 front of the second floor, giving added 

 space for the wheat sheaf factory. The 

 old refrigerator has been moved over 

 next the printer and its place is being 

 taken by a new ice-box 9 x 8 x 30. 



Lewis II. Winterson is absent from 

 his usual place at Winterson 's Seed 

 Store. He and Mrs. Winterson, who is 

 much improved in health, are vacation- 

 ing. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., returned August 5 from a fort- 

 night's fishing trip to Torch Lake. 



Mrs. Ennis, of the Wisconsin Floral 

 Co., Milwaukee, was a visitor at Peter 

 Reinberg's August 5. 



The George M. Garland Co., of Des 

 Plaines, expects to create a sensation 

 at the convention with a section of a 

 new, all iron and steel, curved eave 

 greenhouse, including a hydraulic ven- 

 tilator and the Garland movable fea- 



ture. Probably the main interest will 

 attach to the fact that not a bit of 

 wood enters into the construction, even 

 the sashbars being of iron. Harry Gar- 

 land, who has just returned from a long 

 southern and Pacific coast trip, says he 

 is well satisfied with what he learned 

 during the journey, and as a result ex- 

 pects to open a branch office at San 

 Francisco early in the coming year. 

 He is also figuring on a combination, 

 convertible, glass and lath house partic- 

 ularly adapted to southern use. 



In attempting to repair one of the 

 houses the Geo. Wittbold Co. found the 

 woodwork in such bad shape that it 

 was decided to demolish the house and 

 rebuild it with new materials. The range 

 is rapidly being put into shape for the 

 reception of convention visitors. 



The Thurtell-Hughson Co., successors 

 to Thurtell-Field Co., reports changing 

 the name of the English steam trap, to 

 be known in future as the Chicago 

 steam trap. As reported in The Review 

 some weeks ago, Mr. Hughson of this 

 company is also president of the Hugh- 

 son Steam Specialty Co. 



Among the Wittbold employees now 

 enjoying vacations are Miss Frances 

 Nagel, cashier and stenographer, who 

 is at St. Joseph, Mich.; Chas. L. Schal- 

 lerer, collector, who is in the wilds of 



Wisconsin with a camping party of 

 six; and B. J. Schmierer, who, it is 

 said, goes away each season but is care- 

 ful to keep his destination secret. 



Felsch Bros., of Maywood, are build- 

 ing a new propagating house for plant 

 stock, using Dietsch materials. It is 

 reported that a purchase of an entir* 

 city block in Maywood last year la 

 turning out an excellent investment. 



Phil Foley, president of the Florists' 

 Club and of the firm bearing his name, 

 returned August 6 from an extensive 

 out-of-town trip. 



Among the novelties seen at the 

 store of the Raedlein Basket Co. last 

 week, were a number of gold, orna- 

 mented florists' baskets which had re- 

 cently been imported, and Mr. Raed- 

 lein explained that the largest sold for 

 $25 retail. This firm expects to show 

 a line of novelties and standard styles 

 at the S. A. F. convention. 



Carl Ickes says that the A. Dietsch 

 Co. recently had orders on its books for 

 over 13,650 lineal feet of its short roof 

 construction. These houses, placed end 

 to end, would have reached over two 

 and one-half miles. Mr. Ickes says, 

 however, that over half of these have 

 already been shipped.
