THE CUBA REVIEW 



15 



In 1916 when I was down in Spanish Honduras I found a case of this disease, 

 both in the nut and leaf. 



The best remedy to check this disease is to apply copper-sulphate. Break the 

 copper-sulphate into small pieces about the size of a small pea and scatter it among 

 the leaf bases above and in the leaves. 



Take notice that all dead nuts are collected and burned, as well as hanging 

 leaves, and dead trees must be cut down and burned to stop the spread of the disease. 



Building constructed for Messrs. B. Menendez & Co., Cardenas. The building will be used by the firm 

 for their offices, warehouses and center of business. 



B. MENENDEZ & CO. 



The firm B. Menendez & Co. comprises the following: Messrs. Bonifacio, Ramon, 

 and Manuel Menendez Valdes; Manuel Gutierrez Migolla, Jose Lopez Menendez and 

 Guillermo Lopez Toca, as managers; and the following silent partners: Messrs. 

 Ramon Lopez and Alfredo Fernandez. 



The new edifice comprises two plants and covers a surface of two thousand 

 square yards. It is situated most favorably for commercial development of the firm 

 and it occupies the best corner in the center of the business section of the town. 



The facades and exterior walls are constructed of solid stone, hand-carved and 

 artistically decorated in a manner entirely novel to Cardenas. The interior support- 

 ing columns and partitions are of concrete, reinforced with a weave of forged iron. 

 The lower floors are also of reinforced concrete, and mosaic has been used for the 

 upper floors.
