Diamond Gardner Corpo- ration has created a new division within its Inland Empire operations, the Northwest Retail division, and James O.

"This is the first step toward an expanded chain of retail stores which will serve the Inland Empire," Mr. Bodine said. "Diamond Gardner feels that the dynamic growth of this area must be served by modern and convenient retail stores."
