Business has recently been largely in
creased. On a conservative estimate,
We are doing three times the business
now that we We're before the disaster.
OF course that volume will not be per-
manent, but a part of it will be, and on
that account the increase is the more
valuable.
I'VE are going after some of the for
mer San Francisco territory and we
are getting into it deep. We have es-
tablshed a permanent sales room in
Oakland and one in San Francisco. We
are filling the orders in our Los Angeles
house, but we have secured trade that
we never have hoped to obtain, and we
can keep a large part of it, am certain,
There is a large amount of business
coming to Los Angeles from Salinas
valley and the San Joaquin valley that
has never come here before, but now
that the opening has been made it will
remain in this city"
Turned Down Many Orders
E. j. Levy of the Standard Wooden
ware company, said: although we
have made no attempt to encroach upon
territory that belonged to San Fran
cisco still we are not refusing business
simply because it does not come from
our regular customers.
I'VE have turned down orders from
the north that would have exhausted
our lines of granite ware, tinware and
galvanized ware. We could have sold
our entire stock of those lines in San
Francisco at 5 per cent higher prices
than we can get in Los Angeles, but
this would have depleted our stock and
forced us to turn down orders from our
regular trade in Los Angeles and South
ern California. So we declined the
order.
1.-THE trade in Southern California
has greatly improved and this we be-
lieve to be permanent. From Fresno
south orders are coming in most rapidly
and we have all that we can do to
handle them. We are resolved to pro-
tect our trade in the south before we
do anything else"
M A. Newmark, the wholesale gro
Ger, said: considerable business has
come to us recently that we did not
have before. but we have no desire to
extend our territory to any great ex-
tent. We feel that we are getting all
the business we can reasonably expect
and we are not aggressively trying to
force our way into the northern field
In other lines the increase of business
has been great and will be permanent"

alone, without considering the crushed
rock labor and other expenses incident
to the work.
Old Contract Recalled
Two years ago the council made
contract with one of the largest cement
concerns for all the cement necessary
for the outfall sewer, the amount not
being exactly specified, for less than
$3 per barrel. This was considered q
little high in price for such vast guam
titles as would be used on the outfall
sewer, and as the president of the ce-
ment concern was also chairman of the
Republican state committee, the coun-
ell was reviled for playing politics at
the expense of the taxpayer.
Today the cement concern would give
= big bonus to back out of the contract.
The high price of cement will not
affect the construction of the Owens
river conduit however, for the board
of public works has decided to accept
the suggestion of the water depart
ment that the city establish municipal
cement factories and supply all this
material for the construction of the
conduit
Deposits of cement rock have been
found in Antelope valley, and Fred

staked out claims for the city in these
deposits.

1t has been estimated that two ce-

and all the cement it is possible to use

Trade in Los Angeles is having an
unprecedented boom, say prominent
jobbers, wholesalers and manufactur-
ers. In every line of wholesale trade
local houses are working to their full
est capacity filling orders.
More men are employed now by the
wholesalers and jobbers than ever be-
fore, and all are working overtime fill
ing and shipping the orders which have
poured in from the north as we'll as
Southern California.
''Trade is coming to Los Angeles now
that was never had here before" said
Philip P. Greppin, sales manager Of
the Blake, Moffitt & Towne wholesale
paper company, yesterday.
''An opening has been made for the
Los Angeles jobbers that should prove
invaluable to them.
"San Francisco has been supplying
this trade heretofore and now, IL Los
Angeles loses it, it will be the fault
OF the jobbers of this city. There are
certain territories in our line that have
been monopolized to a great extent by
San Francisco houses. These really
should be supplied by Los Angeles
houses, and since the opening has been
made. and the buyers of these territor-
les have discovered that they can pur-
chase to greater advantage from Los
Angeles houses than they could former
~ from San Francisco, it stands to
reason that we will hold the trade
which we now have tentatively, so to
speak.
Filling All Orders
Little by little the Los Angeles job
bers have been getting into the terri
tory controlled by San Francisco, but
which really belonged to Los Angeles.
At the present time the jobbers of this
city are in full possession of that which
they should have had five years ago.
I'm all lines Los Angeles has shown
itself fully able to take care of far
greater amount of trade than came to
this city before the northern disaster
Since that time it has also demonstrat-
ed that it is equal to an emergency OF
any nature and Of any size.

10 handle the rush of business, and
everything has gone with clockwork
precision. We are not only giving
ample protection to our trade in Los
Angeles, but we are supplying the Gus
toners OF our San Fran cisco branch.
"In many instances the trade which
has been supplied by San Francisco re-
mained customers OF the northern
houses out OF friendship, and with no
real business advantage for doing so.
Now that they are started with the
Los Angeles houses ! think 1t viii not
be difIicult TO retain the business.

The board of public works is engaged

This question of cement is becoming

point of age The Gage and Provensal
FAMILIES have known each other for
years. Miss Provensal has spent much
of her time visiting the family of the
man that she was willing to wed. The
former governor is half in love with
her himself and says that he would
be more than happy to welcome her as
daughter. She is a beautiful girl
whose charm of manner has made her
many friends.
1--WE have no objection in the world

And so the matter stands. The
game that Cupid played in leading the
two young people almost up to the
altar, only to be foiled by the sudden
barriers before them is but part
Of his pranks. While there is delay the
two young people are still engaged
and waiting for time to pass until they
have sufficient years upon their heads
to dissipate parental objections.
Miss Provensal is still at the Gage
home and is still occupying almost the
position of daughter. and IL they do
not change their minds and justify the
wisdom of their elders the wedding
bells will yet ring out. and waiting
may but make their happiness more
complete.
