With 27 years of experience in the business, Josph Margolin of M
& M Lighting said with authority that he can handle any lighting
problem.
From his new showroom at 5620 S. Rice, he deals with commeri-
cal, industrial and residential lighting. Carrying such well-known
lines as Lightolier, Thomas, Prescolite and Light Craft, Margolin
adds that he has the bigest stock of light bulbs in Southwest Hous-
ton!
After a six-year stint in the Navy, Margolin returned to Detroit,
going into the lighting business with his brother. He soon after-
wards opened a branch in Texas, leading up to the establishment of
M & M Llighting 12 years ago.
"We have more know-how about lighting than anyone else in
town — we’ve been in it longer,” he boasts.
He prefers commercial lighting projects, explaining that in the
beginning, "I cut my teeth on those kind of jobs.” Included among his
"finished works” are Greenway Plaza, Town & Country Shopping
