L. q. Jenkins.

No data concerning the manufacturing
interests OF Richmond would be COM

edition book manufacturing establishment
OF l. II. Jenkins. sole owners, located on
Broad Street in the growing West End.
Mr.. Jenkins was the pioneer in the idea
Of constructing manufacturing buildings
in this section that not only would serve
there purposes as such, but would tend
TO beautify the city. The plant Is an
ideal one with its beautiful flower garden
and clingiIg vines.
However the business 1t does is what
makes 1t a powerful factor in the up
building of Greater Richmond. Surely
We realize that -"of the making OF many
