standing example of the modern ap¬ 
plication of light, color, and display

interesting and unusual “merchan¬ 
dise” as live pets, tropical fish, birds, 
plants, accessories, and the West’s 
most complete assortment of flower 
and vegetable seeds.

“TT IS DIFFICULT to give an ac- 
JL curate and complete word picture 
of this ultra-modern establish¬ 
ment. No one should fail to visit it 
when in Los Angeles.” It is with 
these words that the “Seed World,” 
America’s leading publication devot¬ 
ed to the interests of the seed trade, 
concluded a two page article an¬ 
nouncing the opening of Germain’s 
Hill Street Store last Spring. 
Conveniently located in the center 
of Los Angeles’ downtown business 
district and directly across the street 
from Bullock’s, one of the West’s 
most exclusive department stores, 
Germain’s new store embodies the 
latest ideas in the display and pres¬ 
entation of seeds, nursery stocks, sup¬ 
plies and pets for the greatest con¬ 
venience and satisfaction of their 
many customers. 
The attractive exterior, of new and 
distinctive design, is done in green 
opaque glass blocks. Red blocks are 
used in spelling the firm name, and 
the second story is finished in a trellis 
effect, with window boxes, vines and 
flowers serving as an indication of 
the business conducted within.
