BEST FLORIST Always one of the most competitive categories in Best of Busi ness, floral services live up to its reputation, with TOBLERS FLOWERS edging out the competition for Gold . Flowers, plants, wedding, and special-event services—all of it is on the menu for customers of this fixture in the 18th and Vine Dis trict. Silver goes to a relative newcomer to voting here, THE LITTLE FLOWER SHOP , tucked into Westwood Hills on State Line and offering floral arrangements and designs for all man- ner of events. MICHAEL’S HERITAGE FLORIST and THE FIDDLY FIG share the Bronze honors. BEST JEWELER Brushing aside challenges from national players, a pair of lo cal heavyweights sparkle here, with MEIEROTTO JEWEL ERS leads the pack.

CABLE DAHMER CHEVROLET steps in to prevent a clean sweep by Ford, flexing its muscles across five dealerships with its Chev rolet, Buick, and Cadillac lines.

In south Kansas City, MOLLE TOYOTA and its line of new and used cars and trucks is the clear choice for Silver , but it’s not just the selec tion—parts, service and financing are all part of the vote-earning package. STATE LINE NISSAN , adding to the car buyer’s para dise that is 103rd Street, snaps up the Bronze .
