It wasn't until 1910 that Ames had its first large-scale florist shop, Olsan's Flowers, which occupied the town's first all-concrete building on the southwest corner of Burnett and Main Streets. Proprietor Frank Olsan's greenhouse was located on north Sheldon Avenue in west Ames. The delivery truck is seen here parked outside that greenhouse. (See Also:48.238B.4; 48.238C.1)
