Take A Look
Pedestrians and car-riderS slow
down these nights as they pass
111l3 w. Third-st, to take a look
at an upstairs window that's really
a sight of beauty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde D. Cook, who
have some of the most beautiful
African violets in town, live there
A mass of their prize blooms are
in the window, and a lamp right
behind them makes a setting that's
really spectacular at night. The
flowers are beautiful in day time
too, but the night lighting serves
to dramatiZe the display.
