Sales Salon Notes Service

“I’d say our set-up here is a first for an independent dealer in this area,” Barbara O’Brien said yesterday about the new sales salon for coverings and murals at Barb’s Brush and Palette, 1062 Indianapolis Rd., Greencastle. Mrs. O’Brien owner of the local store, noted that the salon has been designed as a wall covering and mural center with customer comfort a main consideration. “We have couches for the customers to sit on while they are selecting and we have excellent lighting. The floor is carpeted so they can get down and look at the books (wall covering and mural books) if they have to,” Mrs. O’Brien noted. Remarking that the salon measures 30 feet by 13 feet, the local owner said that the salon gives the customer room to stretch out while he is buying and said most people who have been in the new salon have “really found it to their liking.”

In other related news: Mary Carter Industries, manufacturer, distributors and retailers of Mary Carter Paint Products (Barb’s Brush and Palette is the local dealer) was recently awarded the grand prize for their trac-tor-trailer in the 1973 American Transportation Association’s Private Carrier Conference Fleet Marking contest.

Setting out flowers for DePauw University’s commencement services this Sunday is Jess Job, DePauw Maintenance Staff worker and in charge of landscape care. Job has been working with landscaping at the university for many years and has had extensive experience in the craft. (Banner-Graphic Photo) « Job Handles DPU Landscaping

DePauw alums returning for commencement this weekend will find the campus dotted with dozens of beautiful flower beds--the handiwork of Jess Job and his helper. Bob Chadd. Jess, who has been raising flowers most of his life, is on DePauw’s maintenance staff and is in charge of landscape care. Last year he began creating beauty spots on the campus by covering bare areas with flowers. The work continues this year on an expanded basis. Jess and his helper adapt flower beds to available spaces. Some are triangular, some rectangular, some round and some defy geometric classification. It seems that if the space is wide enough for a spade, R is wide enough for flowers. Some beds are located adjacent to shrubbery, some along walks or in corners and others out in the open. For the most part, Jess sticks to the garden variety of favorite flowers. Geraniums, marigolds, petunias and ageratum are

planted in harmonious color arrangements. Nearly all the flowers used on the campus are raised by Jess in the DePauw greenhouse during the winter months. Since the project is on the increase, his biggest problem now is to find enough greenhoase space to grow' all the plttpts he needs. Before coming to Greencastle, Job was a farmer near Cloverdale. One of his flower ventures there became known as “Job’s Glad Patch," since he raised gladioli on a large scale. In the evenings, he would cut the colorful spikes and very early in the morning, he would take them to Indianapolis to be sold on the wholesale market. Jess came to DePauw with considerable greenhouse experience, having worked many years for Eitel’s and Milton’s Posey Patch. His home on the corner of Arlington and Shadowlawn streets gives evidence of his landscaping and flower raising abilities. Please Turn to Page 2
