Lookin' good.

That was the message this week as Ohio University Southern was honored as July's recipient of the "Pride in Business" award presented each month by the Ironton Beautification Committee.

The honor is given to an organization that demonstrates outstanding effort in making their place of business an attractive asset to the town or community.

Ungers Shoe Store, BWC Trucking, M&M Realty, Ohio River Bank and the Ironton Physical Therapy/Fitness Center are other businesses the committee has honored since it began presenting the award earlier this year.

Committee Chairman Randy Lilly said he hopes the award will encourage civic improvement and would like to invite nominations from the public.

Nominations may be made by calling 532-2954 or sent to the committee at 2625 S. 10th St., Ironton.
