Full title:View of Robert Goka's show-place flower and plant nursery, know as Frank's, fronting an entire block on fashionable Wilshire Blvd., near Santa Monica. Greenhouse, display shop, and nursery. Goka says not a single pane of glass has ever been broken, although it is easy for the public to see through the large shop windows that the nursery is Japanese-operated. We have all the business we can handle, he adds. Goka was well-known at Manzanar, and before evacuation was in several prominent businesses such as importing. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Los Angeles, California.
