| sponsibility conferred upon him.
Max S. Friedman, member of the firm of
Friedman Schaffer & Co., the shoe manufac.
turers of st. Louis, arrived here Yesterday and
registered at the Nadeau. He anticipates an
excellent business here, and he bases these

OF the boom that has fastened itself upon
Southern California.
| Another Nadeau arrival yesterday was j. H.
Rohr OF New York, who represents one OF the
| largest fur dealers and importers in the world
Yesterday seems to have been day for the
big guns in the commercial line. Another of
these was S. F. Clulow, who travels for the Star
| Shirt company of New York, that is credited
| with being one OF the largest shirt houses in
| the world. He is registered at the Nadeau.
Thomas D. Edwards is another of the big
| guns. He represents one of the most extern

Nadeau on yesterday mornings overland.
Two wet goods raen came in on the same

| Both gentlemen here to convince the peo-

and peculiar brands of rye and bourbon are
| the finest in the market
/ A. G. A. Mueller, who represents dozen diff
| er ent furniture houses, and has headquarters
at Chicago, has been working here some days
now, and reports most excellent bus ness
| 1t was far in excess of his most sanguine an
tieipations, he says, and far better than his ex.
perience in the north. Mr.. Mueller is quar-
/ tered at the Hoenbeck.
| Another Hol enbeck travelling man who has
| been in Los Angeles this time long enough to
be able to talk knowingly OF business here is
r. n. Van Belt, the coast representative OF the
| Washburn-Moen Manufacturing company, the
barbed wire house OF Worcester, Mass. Mr..
| Van Felt says this has been his most success
| full trip to the coast in many years, and he
adds, too, that what made it successful was
| the business he has done in Southern Cali
| fornia.
There are two more commercial inhabitants
of the Hoenbeck hostelrie that ought not to
be neglected while the introductions in
| order. These DR.. w II. Davis OF the
| wholesale drug firm OF Parke, Davis & Co. of
| Detroit, Mich, who is enthusiastic over the
business outlook in Southern California, and
Phil Geelig OF San Francisco, who represen 8
Henry Hi, the clothing manufacturer. The
latter gentleman predicts that Los Angeles
will eventually be one of the great metropo-
| Uses of the world.
The opinions of both gentlemen doubt
| less influenced to no small degree by the sue
cess they have met with here. They are very
positive in their opinions, however, and per-
haps after all, individual business success is
not such bad thing upon which to base
prophecies OF commercial greatness.
