One of the most beautiful displays on Chestnut St. on the first of a series of flower days, sponsored by the Chestnut St. Association, on June 1, was that of S. Kind & Sons, 1110 Chestnut St., which displayed more than 500 peonies, including several rare species, in silver and glass vases throughout the store. Some of the flowers were from the garden of Mrs. Philip Kind, in Jenkintown, and from the gardens of employes. At the end of the day the flowers were sent to a local hospital. Frank S. Hamilton, for many years head of the repair and old gold departments of S. Kind & Sons, who resigned recently to become one of the proprietors of the Keystone Silver Co., 733 Sansom St., was tendered a farewell dinner by proprietors, fellow executives and several staff members of S.
