Banks Make Others Lean
This Way

Representatives Of local syndicate
that has fund ready to buy up a bank
or two for consolidation or a trust COM
pany or two or a savings bank or two
have been quietly at work in this city
for the past two weeks.
There has also been at work here
some San Francisco men who would not
mind buying a bank or two If they
could get such institutions at what they
call the right and proper figure.
The latter failed to buy bank that
they thought they could buy right, be-
cause the stockholders refused to sell
at the figure Of buy right"
BUY right is the point OF view Of
the buyer but not always the point Of
view Of the seller, and that's what hap
pened in this special case.
However the local syndicate Is still
working on It's propositions and some
thing may come of their work for the
men are responsible and reputable and
are willing to give all that a bank
proves worth.
"It is very cheering to know that the
banks of this city are in the most
prosperous condition Of any of the
banks Of the coast, in fact will COM
pare favorably with any OF the banks
of the United States" said a banker
yesterday.
However the recent consolidation of
the First National, Southwestern and
Los Angeles banks has made the other
banks of the city take notice and there
is talk of several consolida tions, both
among commercial and savings banks,
and it is quite likely that something
will come out Of the talk.
THE economies of large institution
are so many that they appeal to the
bankers. and the further drawing power
of the big banks is another strong con-
sideration.
"The Security Savings bank assimi-
lated the Main Street Savings and the
Los Angeles Savings the past two
years and the Union Savings assimi-
lated the Columbia Savings, but the
number of new banks started the past
year figures about six, and the big
banks would not mind taking up one
or more.

GRAND OPENING
BRENT'S STORE
ONE OF LARGEST FURNITURE
HOUSES IN WEST
Reception All Week, Beginning Mon-
day-$1ooo In Gifts to Be Pre-
sented to the Public-Busi-
ness Expansion

Among the business firms of Los An
geles that have kept pace with the
growth of the city in expansion of fa-
cilities to properly handle increased
business Is the well-known furniture
house of e. j. Brent, more familiarly
known as "Brent's."
Mr.. Brent began his business career
in the furniture line in this city about
twenty yeas ago on limited capital and
faithfully assisted by Mrs. Brent in
all his enterprises he has built up
business that has grown to gigantic
proportions. The old store at $50 Spring
street has become too small for the
business, which it is stated has in
creased inside of three years from
about $4,000 to $35O,OOO annually.
In order to accommodate the people
of Los Angeles and Southern California
Mr. Brent secured a ten-year lease on
the H. C. Hulse four-story building at
712 to us South Main street, where he
has placed on the four floors and in
the basement and adjacent Warerooms
a stock of handsome furniture and
household goods valued at nearly $780,
900. The store has a frontage on Main
street of eighty-three feet, and depth
of 1870 feet, affording $4,000 square feet
of space in which to display to fine
advantage the immense stock, which is
varied and beautiful, designed espe-
cially fo the general trade.
Formal Opening
Preparations have been completed
for the formal opening of the new
store beginning Monday morning, and
nf the event nv
way of a donation, everybody among
the first one thousand people who visit
the store during the week will have
an opportunity to receive a handsome
gift. One thousand bank bOoks-1O0
containing prize numbers with dupli-
cate numbers on 100 articles of house
hold furniture worth $1,000 displayed in
the windows-will be drawn by the
first 1000 callers, and on Saturday
night, November 4, when the grand
opening reception with music will be
held, the prizes will be distributed. The
gifts will include everything from a
fine Morris chair to crockery and sill
verware, all valuable articles.
Brent's big store is one of the finest
in the city, and in all respects the ar
rangements for the proper handling
of the stock are first class. The man
ager of the establishment is H. d.
Page, man of many years experience
in the furniture trade. There are
about seventy-five employees connected
with the establishment. A general in
vitation is extended to the public to
visit the new store. The old place of
business on Spring street will be con-
tinued, business being carried on at
both stores.
The new store has fast passenger
elevator for the entire building, includ-
ing the mezzanine floor, and about sew
enty-fve arc lamps are in use in the
different departments In the ware
rooms is a shipping elevator large
enough for a huge van.

Arriving at a Verdict

Kushequa, Pa, July 1O-tSpecial.)-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure cure
and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This
belief grows from such cases as that
of Mrs. NJ. l.. Dawson of this place.
She tells the story herself as follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodds
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine l have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and | can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since 1 took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
'Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism

believed that President Roosevelt has
made it plain to Mr.. Root that it was
his duty to take the helm of state at a
time when many ideals of American
diplomacy, particularly those involved
in the far east, are at critical point.
The acceptance by MIR. Root means a
continuation Of the "Open-doOr' policy
in China as instituted by Secretary
Hay.
Elihu Root is a little more than 60
years Old having been born in Clin-
ton Oneida County, New York, Feb.
Is, 1915. He was first chosen to of
fee as judge of the New York Court
of Common Pleas in 1879. President
Arthur appointed him United. States
district attorney for the southern dis
trict of New York and he occupied this
office for two years. He went into the
Mckinley cabinet as Secretary Of War
and was at tie head of that depart
ment of the government during the
tr0u5lous times in the Philippines fol-
lowing the Spanish-American war. Mr..
