Though business has been erratic at times, some days busy and others idle, the retailers as a whole feel happy over their year's business. At the florists' meeting last week the general senti- ment was that the florists' business was the only business that had not taken its slump, and many retailers claim their business for 1921 is ahead of that of 1920.
