An important part of your firm's business image is its logo. Here's an effective one created by Bill Dentinger, Milwaukee Chapter. Using the small case letters combined with the trowel, Bill has given his firm a modern, attractive and readily recognizable symbol. Take a minute to look at yours does it reflect the image you desire?

Many of America's fine old buildings are slowly crumbling to ruin behind vacant windows. Others are being pulled down in the name of progress. But there's still life in many of these buildings. With a little creativity, they can again become vibrant parts of their diverse community.

It's happening in some cities. Once-deserted old warehouses and factories are alive and bustling with shops, restaurants, night clubs, banks, apartments. It can happen in your town, too.
