But two years of the proverbal five
have: passed, yet the prophecy has
been filled even to the full ex-
tent, if not greater than pre-
dlcted. The cause OF this is apparent 10
the visitor who in his tours over the coun-
ty finds beautiful homes, fine ranches
and abundant. crops in every settled por-
tion. The cause of Fullerton's prosperi-
ty is in its peple who are up and doing
the instant anything can be gained for
the advancement of the town so we'll spo-
ken of by all who visit it either on nusi-
ness or pleasure.
Situated twenty-five miles south of Los
Angeles on the main coast line of the
Southern California railway, at an eleva-
tion of 200lfeet above sea level, is Fuller
ton, a settlementuf a few ranchmen a few
short years ago, at present bustling lit
tie city of 1900 people, with more new
buildings in course OF construction than
ever before showing that the confidence
OF the people has not lost shade since
the start a few years ago. To have an or

Lumber yard. planning mill, seven large
warehouses controlled by Messrs. Stern &

Fullerton, already conceded to be the
most extensive shipping point between
Los Angeles and San sDiego has never
received proper credit for the grain fed
stock NOR for the thousands of pounGs
used in Conrad's brewery, which is de

kept of the amount. Five miles north of
Fullerton is the great Puonte oil district.
from which point oil by pipe is already
in use at Chino and i new line direct
from the wells to Fullerton is being laid
to supply the railway company with the
new fuel. With this line is being laid

new homes, a fine new hotel, business
