A row of jet-black beads gives dignity to the rim, and, towering high above the crown is a white ostrich feather, the size of which gives rise to the suspicion that it was plucked from the tail of a 9-year-old rooster. From a label pasted in the crown, we learn that the botanical name of the structure is "Marquise."

Choice of style, chairs to m FURN Crane Speeds Construction Of New Plant Construction costs on the Golden Citrus Juices, Inc., structure in Fullerton will be cut an estimated 40 per cent with the introduction of a 70-foot boom crane. The crane will lift and place as much as 25 tons of prepoured slab thus expediting the method of construction, according to Thomas J. Eadington, president. The crane brought to Fullerton by the Pacific Crane and Rigging Co., of Los Angeles, is said to be the largest of its type in southern California. It will be able to lift the well slab from its horizontal position and place it upright in its proper location. Eight or ten section slabs can be installed daily. Rising 1½ stories, the building will be 142 by 103.6 feet in area, Eadington stated. Three Shifts Construction of the building will be mainly for frozen juice operation and is expected to be ready in June. Three shifts have been proposed, each with a complement of 20 men. Single-strength orange, lemon and grapefruit juices in addition to any pasteurized concentrates used by the government in school lunch programs will also be prepared, explained Eadington.
