another important contract. This time
It is for the erection of extensive fac
tory buildings at Dolgeville for the
Electric Heating and Manufactur
company of Los Angeles. This COM
pany is meeting with phenomenal sue
cess, as it was organized only a few
months ago, but in that short space of
time they have equipped a temporary
factory at 567-569 San Fernando street,
this city, where they are already man
ufacturing their heating and cooking
appliances and endeavoring to fill the
most urgent orders now on their books.
The facilities at present provided by
this temporary location are entirely in
adequate. however, to meet even
small portion of the urgent orders
ALREADY placed with the company.
The new factory, which is to be con-
Structed entirely of brick throughout
a nd for which Mr.. Law has secured the
building contract, will have ample room
for all possible requirements for some
time to come, as the buildings will have
a frontage on Railroad avenue of 140
feet and depth through the L of So
feet, which will give sufficient floor
space to install the necessary ma
chinery and employ upward of $50 men.
1t is expected that the buildings will be
ready for occupancy in about ninety
days, and thirty days more will be suf-
ficient to install the machinery.
Enterprise of Actual Merit
The quick results obtained and the
rapid advance made by this company
are due to the fact that they were for
tunate in securing the services of f. H.
Johnston in placing their stock before
the investing pu Bile. Mr.. Johnston has
| Justly earned a most enViable reputa-
tion as a broker and financial agent of
| mertoriOus and successful enterprises
and this is due to careful Investigation
into the merits and earning capacity of
| all propositions presented to him and
| his ability to discriminate between
those that are simply attractive on the
surface and those others which have
actual merit and the certainty of be-
I coming good dividend payers. The Bid
well cold motor and the electric heat
| ing and cooking applia ances are good
examples of discerning discrimination.
| Electric Flat Iron Leader
One of the most attractive articles
perfected by this company is their new
electric fiat iron. in which all the heat
is conc entrated on the ironing surface
which insures uniformity of tempera-
| ture and economy of operation The
great advantages of this iron over any
| other heretofore made is evident at a
glance. 1t heats quicker and retains the
| heat longer than any iron, either cleo
| trio or any other kind. on the market,
and it consequently costs less to ope
rate. A simple turn of the switch and
the iron is hot. turn the switch and
and the current is shut off but the iron
| will remain hot enough to use for at
| least ten minutes. Turn the current on
again for two minutes and it is once
more charged with latent heat for |
another ten minutes Could anything
| be simpler or more economical? ? The
process of ironing need never stop for
one moment, as the "heat" can be
switched on or off Will you are using
it, and every particle of that heat can
be utilized where it will do the most
good.
The bread tOaster is another unique
| household necessity and an attractive
ornam ent in any dining room. 1t can
set on the dining table, or on con-
venient side table so that the bread
can be toasted as it is needed. A more
important advantage. however. lies in
the fact that there are no fumes or
odor connected with the toaster. so that =
your toast will taste sweeter and bet
ter than anything Of the kind you ever
tasted before The demand for these
| toasters is already very great, and
when they are introduced into the
larger hotels for use on the individual
dining tables-each guest making his
own toast as he dCsires-the demand
will undouk IDLY be enormous.
Officers of the Company
These two single items will be suffi-
cient to Indicate the possible future of
this new Los Angeles company, and we
are very glad indeed to see such
ritorious enterprise established in
Southern California
| The officers of the company are
George |. Leonard, president; w. A.
Venter, secretary and general manager;
H. e. Strunk, superintendent, and
James H. Powell sales manager. The
company is very fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Strunk, who has
been superintendent of the Pacific
Electric Heating company since its or
ganizaton and is an ackn nOwledged
auth ority on electric heating in all its
branches. Mr.. Powell has been con-
nected for number of years with some
of the largest machinery and electrical
supply houses in the country.
