OLIVE OIL MAN
GOES TO COURT
MANUFACTURERS SAYS DEALER
is CUTTING PRICE
Application for Injunction Looks Like
Crazy QuiIt-Pasadena Grocer
Is Defendant in the
Case

Patched UP with pretty pictures and
fancy labels from olive oil bottles until
looked like forlorn and misplaced
crazy quilt complaint asking for an
injunction was filed yesterday in the
superior court by Charles p. Grogan
of Los Angeles, who is head of an olive
oil concern, against H. G.. Chaffee, a
Pasadena grocer.
The trouble has been causing con-
siderable excitement in Pasadena,
where the society people have been
flocking to the support of the grocer
Hostilities began several weeks ago
when the grocer bought a large con-
signment of the local firms olive oil.
The regular price was $1.35 a half gall
Ion, and Grogan declares that that
price should be made to stick. He had
about fifteen labels from olive oil bot
ties bearing fancy pictures of bright
faced maidens and many orchards of
fine olive trees on them pasted to the
complaint to show that his goods were
copyrighted and that $1.35 a half gall
lon was the proper price for the fluid.
The grocer caused CONSERVATION to
the olive firm by putting up sign
listing the olive oil at $1.20 half
gallon.
Grogan heard of it and demanded
that the olive oil be sold at the regu-
lar price.
The next day more CONSERVATION
was caused when the grocer put the
following sign in his show window:
Demands have been made that we
sell Grogan's oil for $1.35. We sell 1t
for $1.20 and we will see who will con-
troll the price"
Now the manufacturer demands that
the grocer be restrained by law from
selling the oil at any but the regular
price.

the runaway collided was knocked
senseless, but within a few minutes he
regained consciousness.
The two injured men were taken to
the receiving hospital and Shukem was

It looks much as II all our bachelors
and maidens will be gone before the
month of June has passed. Cupid has
been shooting his arrows with such
good effect that every day three or
four bold, bad men have carried away
some OF our popular young society
women. Fathers are smilinRly signing
checks and mothers are shedding a few
tears as they think of the daughters
they are losing, brothers are donning
their dress suits and sisters are lust
a wee bit envious. But we all may be
glad, juno comes but once a year.
i. The best feature of all is the fact
that we are not going to lose these
girls entirely. Most Of the brides will
live in Los Angeles and they will cease
to be popular maidens only to become
popular young matrons.

this city and made popular with n
and out of town trade, have divided
their large store, and as announced,

strictly wholesale business.
These gentlemen have for sew
raj years carried on jobbing bust

names of scores of the most success

Mr. Cohn, the buyer for the house.

large fall stock. He is thoroughly
familiar with this part Of the bust

him to buy goods lower than his city
competitors.

any interest in the city,s upbnilding
should buy what they want thereon

Electricians as a class are well paid,
because where experiences is required
good electricians must not only be
first-class mechanics, but must under
stand the principles of electricity. To
an extent, at least, they are expert
workers. The railroad engineer is a
