BEST COMMERCIAL DISPLAY 
LAKEWOOD, OHIO—1940 
At the local show of the Dahlia Society of Ohio, held in Lakewood on September 
28th and 29th, our commercial display again was the winner of first place and the 
beautiful Dahlia Society of Ohio silver cup. 
In addition to staging this dispiay, we made forty-two entries in the open-to-all 
section; winning twenty-two firsts, twelve seconds, and six thirds, with two entries dis- 
qualified because of wrong classification. A number of the second and thirds were in 
classes in which we also placed higher.
