ket. The steady progress of the firm 

 has been watched with much satis- 

 faction by the trade, as Charles Erne 

 was eighteen years with E. H. Hunt 

 and Fred Klingel was also connected 

 with John Kruchten and other whole- 

 salers and both were well and favor- 

 ably known. Mr. Klingel was also cel- 

 ebrating the first birthday of his twin 

 girls. 



According to John F. :^idwell, "the 

 usual spring supply of stock is on hand, 

 probably not so heavy as in former 

 years, for the demand has held pace 

 with the supply right along." 



Sinner Bros., M. C. Gunterberg, 

 Frank Beu, H. C. Blewitt and A. E. 

 Hunt & Co. are now nicely settled in 

 their new quarters with H. Wittbold, 

 at 56 East Bandolph street. 



C. L. Washburn says June 1 will 

 find thirteen houses of the new Greggs 

 Station plant completed if the prom- 

 ises of the contractors hold good. Four 

 are already finished, while the benches 

 are being placed in four others. The 

 other five are well along. They all 

 measure 28x200. 



Sidney Buchbinder says the first day 

 of May brought three rush orders for 

 refrigerators. One was for Peter Sam- 

 uelson, on West Chicago avenue, and 

 another was purchased by George Kas- 

 per, who will start a flower shop at 

 4005 West Twenty-sixth street. The 

 third was from Walter Butler, of Pleas- 

 ant Bidge, O. 



A. Dietsch arrived home from the 

 south May 4 and is feeling much 

 stronger. Mr. Dietsch spent several 

 weeks in Florida and, on his way home, 

 stopped a week at Lookout Mountain, 

 Tenn. He was accompanied by his 

 daughter. 



Street car cards bearing a clock dial 

 with the hands pointing to 11 and 12 

 have created quite a little favorable 

 comment, - These cards are another 

 phase of the retail advertising cam- 

 paign of the Geo. Wittbold Co. The 

 clock hands point to the 'phone num- 

 ber, Graceland 1112. 



Miss Mamie Jacobs, well known in 

 musical circles, has acce})ted a posi- 

 tion as secretary to F. Jerome, of the 

 American Importing Co.

The Auburndale Goldfish Co. now is

 is progressing rapidly. 



L. Baumann & Co. are rushing the 

 work of getting ready the additional 

 space to be occupied in the building 

 next to its present location. The new

 with a switchboard and operator, will 

 greatly increase telephone facilities.
