#4~ as They say: "We've Got it Covered"

Well, one certainly HAS to say that the
Steven's Brothers
were definitely an industrious group ~
~ a trait of the "Greatest Generation
from WW2 days."

per Jim~ continued from another article:




" We HAD it Covered."

Over the years, we have Opened and operated (and closed)
  • Five additional nurseries
  • a family shoe store in Downtown Los Angeles
  • a second shoe store in San Diego (sold one and closed the other 2 years later)
  • a sporting goods store selling outboard motors and boats as a side-line
  • two tool rental programs
  • a drug store complete with pharmacists and a counter serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • a complete lawnmower sales and repair shop
In addition to selling plants , we have sold:
  • televisions in their early day
  • pet supplies at the Laurel Canyon location
  • landscaping services providing plans and installation
  • sand, gravel, brick and delivered top-soil.
We tried to keep everybody busy...
~ not only to keep a roof
over THEIR heads ;)

I wasn't around yet in 1941, but I remember as wee tyke my mom walking me around the block and us going to the nursery and the lunch counter and her putting me UP on the stool at the counter. I must have been about 5-7 yrs old...or as far back as I can remember.. The phrase "Steven's Nursery" was permanently placed into my brain, in a Good WAY♥
