The new factory at Dolgevile estab-

This machinery will be installed imme-

Guiding special tools, etc. of about
$4,000 so that the new machinery just
purchased will give the company

capable of turning out a large amount

Rapid Developments
When this company was organized
several months ago The Herald well
coined the new corporation, which
promised to become a most desira BILE
addition to the growing industries of
Los Angeles, and we are glad to see
confirmed our judgment of it's value.
Very few industries can boast of such
rapid progress in such brief time
from a temporary factory in the city
employing about thirty men, strug-
Cling under adverse circumstances, in
an effort to-meet the enormous demand

goods, to the early occupancy of a
model brick factory, having 14O feet
frontage and SIS feet in depth through
the az" now completed and ready for
the installation of the machinery-a
complete equipment representing val
uation of 100000.
Sufficient orders are now on hand to
keep this new factory busy and the
growing demand promises to swell to

will inside of the next six months have
to work night and day if they would
fill all orders
Assurance is given by the manage
ment that all of their business so far
has been confined to Los Angeles and
vicinity. This proves one of two things
either Los Angeles is the best market
in the United States or if other mar
kets are equally as good) the Electric
Heating and Manufacturing company
will soon have to enlarge it's factory
or establish another plant in San Fran
cisco.
Chicago After Appliances
The reputation of the company's
heating and cooking appliances has al
ready Travelled abroad. They have re-
ceived an offer from a large electric
manufacturing concern in Chicago
which desires 10 manufacture these ap-
planes for that market on royalty.
The deal is still under consideration,
with every prospect of being closed
within a few days. on most advan-
tageous terms for the Los Angeles COM
pany. This is evidently the beginning
only of many such concessions, as the
Electric Heating and Manufacturing
company owns and controls all of the
patent rights for the United States
and Canada. These concessions and
rights to manufacture will undoubtedly
prove a source of great revenue to this
parent company.
the citizens of this city through the
failure of the gas supply has turned
the attention of many householderS to
the possibilities and advantages offered
by electricity for heating and cooking.
Officials of the electric light COM
panies believe that under ordinary cir
cumstances the cost of heating and
cooking by Electricity would be too
great to app II to the general con-
sumner; but, i.1ognizing the fact that
the demand is growing for these mod
ern conveniences, they have made a
special rate of 6 cents per kilowatt for
cooking and heating purposes within
the city limits and in the outside towns
the rate has been placed at cents.
Attractive Proposition
The electric companies will install
separate meter service for this purpose
upon receipt of proper application from
the householder and will run extra
wires, when necessary, to the house,
but the owner will have to pay for all
the inside wiring. radiators, range,
cooking utensils, etc. This will be only
a nominal expense, however, as inside
wiring is very inexpensive and will
hardly be considered by the housewife
who realizes that once installed, she
will find reduced by one-half the usual
drudgery and discomfort of homework
