Full title:Mr. Fred Akahoshi, his wife, daughters Alyce, age 22, and Florence, age 19, son John, age 17, came to Omaha in
the fall of 1943. Mr. Akahoshi took plenty of time to look around to get acquainted with this part of Nebraska; and this spring,
he invested in a small greenhouse in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. Frank Kuwahara, formerly of Sacramento, California, who was making
a name for himself as a florist at the time of evacuation, is also interested in the greenhouse. Frank has taken prizes in
decorating floats in the floral festivals on the west coast. Mr. Akahoshi and Frank tell that their business is picking up
every day. They are getting acquainted with the people of Lincoln, and their competitors and customers have helped to assimilate
them into the community life of Lincoln. They are most enthusiastic and are well pleased with the business venture. Besides
raising flowers, they are growing a quarter million vegetable plants for victory gardens in addition to taking care of ten
acres of ground which will be producing food during the growing season.<lb/> Lincoln, Nebraska.
