SALT LAKE OIL co. OF CAL.

Among the worthy and interesting de-
veloping factors in this city is the Salt

practically the same as the other, w. c.

company. of which latter Charles d.
Morgan is the secretary. This company
is Incorporated for 100000. 1t is a pro-
ducer of and dealer in crude petroleum.
This company has large advantage over
many others in having one of the best oil
fields in this part of the state, and that
lying only about seven miles from this
city There they have steadily producing
and apparently ineXhaustible wells. CIV
ing them a peculiar advantage in sup
plying this city with crude oil, as they do
large quantities throughout Southern
California. They have at present about
seVenty-five men at work in the oil field,
which is susceptible of indefinite develop
ment. The directors of the company, in
addition to Mr.. Price, are j. d. Wood,
president, and c. A. Garfield. w. s.
Porter and j. e. Bamberger. This field
is really one of the most remarkable
properties in the state of California and
pronounced by expert oilmen to en-
brace some of the most productive wells
ing wells and an idea of it's business is
gained when it is known that 70 per
cent of the supply of Southern California
is furnished by this company. An eight
inch pipe connects with a train of cars.
which leaves daily. Among other things
in the pumping plant is the largest stor-
age tank on the Pacific coast.

December, 1904, the present company was
incorporated and the following officers

Each of these gentlemen are experienced

SILVER EAGLE DYE AND
CLEANING COMPANY

1t is surprising to some people how
a comparatively new firm does such
a large business as the Silver Eagle
Dye and Cleaning company. 1t has been
established only three years, managed
the last seventeen months by Mr. Col
kins, who is using the naDhtha process
to clean the garments. The, results are
so satisfactory to everybody that the
business tripled in one year. The own
ers of the business put in last month
the latest and most improved machin-
cry, to make better work than any
other firm in this city. They do the ir
best to give patrons the very best sat
isfaction on fine evening gowns and
dresses, costly opera cloaks beautiful
ostrich plumes and boas. They employ
the most skillful help, and all their
work is done by hand. Visitors frc m
New York and Chicago know how much
the naphtha process is superior to
the ordinary dry cleaning. especially on
very fine garments, but on all wearing
apparel it is preferable, because it
does not injure the fabric. so the gar
ment will wear longer and look bright
er. The naphtha process preserves the
colors. Any we'll dressed lady or gen
tleman will find out after getting the
garment cleaned two or three times
that the naphtha process is the best.

CENTRAL OIL COMPANY

The operations of the Central Oil conf

creasing results of great benefit to this
city and county. The Central Oil conf
pany was established ten years ago and
it is one of the largest operators and
also one of the largest producers in the
Los Angeles field. 1t has contributed a
large part toward making Los Angeles
the center of the oil industry of the Pa
cific coast, besides 1t was one of the
pioneers in furnishing cheap fuel. thus

of w W. Neuer, president; j. M. Elliott,
treasurer, and Robert n. Bulla, secretary;
Their office is located in rooms sos, 506
and 5O7 H. w Hellman building. and they
operate forty wells at Whittier, twelve
miles distant from this city, where they
employ large force of people. The oil
produced by the company ranges from
is to "A gravity, the larger part being
the lighter petroleum and it is extensively
used in Los Angeles for fuel at the manu-
factories and by the local refneries.
The fact that this company can deliver
any desired quantity of either grade of
perfectly uniform quality renders Its
product very popular with consumers for
any purpose. The storage tanks and
shipping plant of the company being
located at the crossing of the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe tracks at Las
Nietos enables 1t to ship with equal
facility over both roads, thus easily
reaching all points of consumption in
Southern California.
