	Far Left: "John Lewis Childs. Proprietor of the Great Floral Establishment at Floral Park." Printed before 1907. Left: Early 1900's "The Great Fireproof Seed House of John Lewis Childs, Floral Park." It was torn down for a shopping center.
	Left: Printing House of the Mayflower Publishing Company. Part of the Establishment of John Lewis Childs. Built in 1892, an article in The Mayflower describes the new building as being 125 feet long and 50 feet wide with a 60 horse power boiler and engine dynamo capable of supplying the building with electric power throughout. There were 5 presses.
