OFFICERS ARE NoN-sALARIEp

The officers and directors behind this
company are men with the highest pos
sible business standing in Los Angeles
men who will make success of the en-
terprise and who will give a square deal
to the stockholders. These men do not
draw one cent of salary for services rem
dered the company each being content to
wait for his recompense in profits from
the business.
This feature is in direct contrast to so
many companies of the present day, the
officers of which draw such large SAL
aries that there is little of the proceeds
from stock sales left to push the busi-
ness. Every cent placed in the United
States Pencil Vending company goes
toward the promotion of the business
for machinery, raw material used in
manufacturing the machines. etc.
The company has discounted all of its

BEACH CITIES LITIGATE
FOR ENLARGED TERRITORY
San Pedro Trustees Ask Restraining
Hand Of the Law Upon
Lono Beach

The old trouble between Long Beach
and San Pedro, as to whether Long
Beach could acquire all the land north
of the harbor city, was brought to an
issue yesterday in a suit filed by James
Weir, president of the board of trus-
tees of San Pedro, against Long Beach
in which the superior court is asked
to restrain the greedy desires of the
latter city.
At meeting of the trustees of Sar
Pedro held in June, it was proposed
to vote upon the acquisition of land
south of that city to a point about
half way to Long Beach. Long Beach
had similar meeting later, in which
it was proposed to take all the land
north to San Pedro, and a day for
voting was appointed.
San Pedro officials insist that their
proposition was made first and that
Long Beach is greedy in trying to
overlap the territory looked upon with
favor by them.

THE PLAZA AS A NEW
SITE FOR A CITY HALL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-(Editor
HERALD: 1 noticed your article last
week favoring the location of the new
city hall on North Main street. AS I
believe 1 first suggested the location in
that section 1 would like to say that
my suggestion was that 1t be located in
Plaza park, for the following reasons:
1t is now the most central point to
the residents of the whole city, who
should be considered as we'll as the mer-
camille section.
easily see, for although the city will
grow south and west we will find Pasa-
dena and Glendale part of Greater Los
Angeles in the very near future, as well
as Hollywood.
1t is the most accessible location to
the people of the whole city, because
more cars pass the Plaza and the near
vicinity in a given time than any other
available site in the city.
The diameter of the Plaza inside the
circular iron railing is approximately
300 feet, upon which six or eight-story
building 200 feet square, or in the form
of Maltese cross, could be built, max
ing every room an outside one.
The location of the new city hall in
Plaza park would also increase the tax
able value of property in the vicinity,
estimated at $5,OOO,OOO, which at 1 per
cent would increase the taxes collected
each year $5O,0O0.
The Plaza is now only a bill of ex-
pense to the city for maintenance of
probably $4,000 year-its value as ii
site for a new city hall is $4,000 per
year. The city is now paying $25.0OO per
year. The interest on 100000, the value
of the present site, at per cent, equals
the amount, not to speak of the nume--
Gus departments not in the present city
hall which pay rent elsewhere. The
city would thus save over $4,000 per
year by the change, in rents alone.

AGGREGATE AGE OF BRIDE
AND GROOM Is 141 YEARS
Happy sweethearts Belle Facts by
Their Youthful Appearance
and Manners
and Manners

The fact that the bride was II years
old and the groom but one year her
junior did not cool the ardor of a cou-
pie who applied for marriage license
yesterday.
The groom is Richard Edmundson,
an Englishman who owns considerable
property in Los Angeles. He does not
appear to be more than so years of
age. and his statement that he was
seventy years old was looked upon as
a joke until he insisted upon swearing
to the fact.
The age of the woman was a greater
surprise. The bride, with her bright
black eyes and energetic manner. ap-
peared to be about 40 years old, but
she proved her claim to three score
and ten years and then some more,
while the clerks gasped.
She is also a native of England and
has been nurse for the greater por-
tion of her life.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-02
ESTIMATE OF PROFITS

A conservative estimate places the num-
Der of machines that will be put out by
this company at 4000 600. If each machine
sold but 10 pencils daily, and there is a
profit of ia cents in every pencil, the
earnings would foot up to an enormous
sum, almost staggering in magnitude,
not including the profit derived from the
sale of advertising privileges and that
between the cost of manufacturing and
selling them.
Each machine is fitted with revolv-
ing cylinder which will hold six adver-
tisements that may be brought into view
by pressing a button which manipulates
this mechanism regardless of that for
distributing the pencils For these ad-
vertsing spaces the companies experience
no difficulties whatever in getting 81 each
per month, or Sc every month for SINH
lar number of spaces on each machine
Six dollars multiplied by the number of
machines to be put out, 200, will give
a person an idea of the immense revenue
from this source
The cost of building these machines is
about SO EACH They are sold for $50
each, leaving profit of $40 on every ma
chine to the company. Forty dollars null
tiplied by 100000 machines will give the
total profit from this part of the busi-
ness.

GIRL SAILS IN
A|RSHIP ALONE
MISS HAZEL 0DELL PRoPELS
"MAN ANGEL"
HANDLES MACHINE WITH EASE
Is UnsfraId, and After Her Successful
Voyage Declares She May
Adopt AeronautIcs as
Profession

Hazel odell, 17-year-oid girl, made
an ascent last night in Alvah l.. Rey-
nolds' air ship at Fiesta park. Miss
Oden has been deeply interested In the
MAN Angel ever since its construc-
tion was begun last March. and after
Herbert Burke and f. le Point, the
aeronauts, made successful flights on
Monday night she volunteered to make
a trial trip.
The fight was made last night at Q
O'Clock in the presence Of few Of
those interested in the experiment. Miss
Odell entered the car alone and with
only a light fish line as a guy rope
raised herself to distance of nearly
100 feet. After slight effort she was
able to propel the airship in any direc-
tion and control its ascent and descent
at will. When asked as to her motive
for performing the feat Miss Odell said:
.eWhy should / not? Other people have
done It and was not afraid. The fact
that 1 am girl should not matter"
When asked whether she intended
to take part in the extensive cutaway
trials which Reynolds and Burke ex-
pect to make over the city of Los An
geles during the coming month, she
said. Eyes, I expect to fly from the top
of some of the big buildings some day
soon. The fact that you are little
higher up in the air does not make any
difference. The ship is under perfect
go wrong. 1 may even make q profess
sion of air ship navigation, for believe
that it is both possible and probable
that this invention will be the financial
success that Mr.. Reynolds hopes"

During recent years many valuable
patents have been secured from the
United States government. but II re-

procure one. or rather several, covering
an Invention which for money-earning
possibilities will, without a doubt, equal
or surpass any or all Of the past.
The patents in mind relate to won
derful nickel-in-the-slot machine which
sells lead pencils automatically; that Is,
without the assistance Of clerical help.
and belong to the United States Pencil
Vending company, located in this city on
South Main street where force Of men
will soon engage in the work of manufac-
turing these machines.
NEITHER GETS ROBBED NOR
Ro5s
This device ls wonderful in more ways
than one In the first place, It bears the
distinction Of being the only nickel-in-
the-slot machine ever patented that posi-
lively refuses to accept money of any
description other than a genuine scent
piece. Slugs. dimes. pennies, smooth
nickels and IS gold pieces put in by mis-
take, all pass directly through the ma
chine and return to the owner.
The machine neither gets robbed nor
robs the public The patrons get either
strictly first-class 5-cent lead pencil or
their money back.
Each and every machine manufac-
tured by this company is built to hold
$50 pencils, or $3.50 worth. other vending
machines will hold but few sales of
gum or candy
Many slot machines have been patented
for the purpose of vending luxuries--
heretofore 1t was always luxuries-and at
the present time this company has the
only device on the market which sells an
absolute necessity.
