Because our title plant contains all of the records of Los Angeles County land back to the days of the Spanish ranchos, and since there are thousands o new items added to our records daily, it has been necessary for us to greatly expand our facilities.' -- Expressing continued optimism for the future, Mr. Allen continued: 'Acquisition of the new building, which has 168,000 square feet of floor space, will enable us to continue to grow with greater Los Angeles and the surrounding area'." --; "Title Insurance and Trust Company, which will celebrate its 60th anniversay next year, is one of America's largest title companies and it is Southern California's oldest trust company. The company opened its doors for business in a three-story building at the corner of New High and Franklin Strteets in the early 90's. -- The eleven-story building at 433 South Spring Street, which now houses the Home Office, is also undergoing extensive remodeling. Escalators are being installed between the third and fifth floors to facilitate employee traffic. Officers of the company also stated that new and larger quarters are planned for employee recreation and the company cafeteria. When remodeling is completed, it will be one of Los Angeles' most modern office buildings." -- typed press release attached to verso.
