J. Lazarian has sold his interest in 

 the Polk Street Florists to his partner, 

 M. Bartevian, and the latter is now giv-

 He has secured additional space and has 

 gone to considerable expense in reno-

 certainty of deliveries. She has only

 was planned, Mrs. Darbee has decided 

 to go no farther tlian Humboldt county, 

 Cal., on account of the gasoline shortage.
