DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day trade practically 

 cleaned up the local market. At a re- 

 cent special meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club, a sufficient sum was vol- 

 untarily subscribed to advertise Moth- 

 ers' day, and the publicity committee 

 used space in all of the local daily 

 papers, as well as the leading weekly. 



Business, as far as Mothers' day 

 Vvas concerned, amounted to little un- 

 til late Saturday afternoon, the bulk 

 of the orders coming in Saturday eve- 

 ning. The orders were chiefly for cut 

 flowers and not many ran over $2 per 

 order. Carnations were mostly in de- 

 mand, and the call for red was ex- 

 ceedingly heavy, Monday morning 

 found the market well cleaned up, with 

 a marked scarcity of stock all day. 



Various Notes. 



E, A. Fetters' touring car was stolen 

 the night of May 1, and when found by 

 the police on the following day the 

 fenders were badly damaged. 



E. J. Hall, representing Wertheimer 

 Bros., spent the first part of the week 

 in the city. 



Many appropriate Mothers' day win- 

 dows were seen here, and as usual the 

 retailers who made this effort were 

 repaid. H. S.
