MAYOR A. c. HARPER

This New Year marks the c.ose of the
first year of three-year Democratic city
administration. period which is hailed
by citizens of all political faiths as the
most satisfactory twelve-month in Los
Angeles history.
Mayor Arthur C. Harper, head of this
administration, needs no introduction to
the general public of Los Angeles, for in
the same way that he is the very typifi-
cation and essence of the public municipal
policies of the past year. so be is typical
in principle and personality Of the local
life and citizenship.
Mr.. Harper has been resident OF Los
Angeles for over three decades, and his
entire manhood has been spent in activity
and prominence in the local business
world.
In one of his most recent notable pub
lie addresses, that at the Admission day
celebration in San Bernardino. Mayor
Harper said he would give $1,000 to be able
to say he were native son of the Golden
state His honor is the next thing to IT,
for he was established in Los Angeles as
a boy by his parents, Carolinans. and
was a graduate in the Class of S5 from
the local high school.
Mr.. Harper began his business career
as an employe of the hardware firm of
Harper & Reynolds, later securing por-
ton of his fathers interest therein. BY
energy, thrift and unusual business abil-
ity he widened and varied his interests,
A few years ago he, was called to the
banking world, and unsolicited was offered
the position of cashier OF the State Bank
and Trust company at a time when
strong men were needed. and he accepted
the responsibility at the cost of most
arduous labors After acquitting himself
in the banking business with exceptional
credit, Mr. Harper's good fame was seized
upon by the managers of the local DEM
ocracy, to which organization he always
gave political allegiance.
After one year in Office many citizens
of all classes now proclaim him the most
satisfactory chief executive the city has
ever seen, and Southern Democrats
already. have begun putting forward Los
Angeles mayor as the strongest candidate
of the state. Democracy to wrest control
of California from the corporations IN
the next gubernatorial election.

block now stand, with a flower-adorned
mall connecting the city hall with the
county court house; a new union railroad
tation where the Arcade depot row
stands a park on Fort hill; a system OF
boulevards connecting the parks. There
ire many other features, but these are
among the most important.
A Greater Los Angeles
More than a year ago there was taken
into the city narrow strip of land cum
hing to the city limits Of San Pedro. The
assumption was that San Pedro would
ultimately become a part of Greater Los
Angeles. thus making this city literally
a seaport city and enabling 1t to protect
the interests of the people In the harbor
The great government
breakwater win be finished in couple Of
years; it is two-thirds completed now.
The commerce of San Pedro is increasing
rapidly. AS soon as the great ocean ships
can be accommodated In large number
the era of which the people of Los Ange-
les have dreamed so long will be an
actuality.
The Hartman improvements for the Los
Angeles Pacific railway. outlined else
where. entail the spending Of millions.
and the erection of ten-story steel rail-
road station and office building.
That the Huntington electric lines will
be extended to San Bernardino Riverside,
San Diego and to Santa Barbara seems
only a question of a few years.

r. p. FAULKNER

The intense activity evidenced In all
lines of commercial and industrial en-
denvor, and the universal prosperity
enjoyed by the public Is conclusive
proof that our leading business men in
whose hands our financial destiny lies
are worthy of the trust.
The ranks of the reputable dealers
In stocks and bonds are being constant
Iy augmented by the addition of en-
terprising men, and of them none Is
more entitled to tribute here than Mr..
r, p, Faulkner. whose handsome Of
fees are at 424-425 III. w. Hellman
building.
Mr., Faulkner comes of old New York
stock and has upheld the traditions of
hia race In his energy and aggressive
ness. During the Spanish-American
ar and UP to March, 1907, Mr.. Faux
neR served his country as chief clerk
In the customs department at Manila
His keen business instincts, however
would not permit him to remain in the
government service in times of peace,
SO he established the firm of Faulkner
g. Co., with head office at Manila and
branches in Hong Kong, Pekin and
Toxic, Desiring to further extend OPP
erations he came to the United states
established headquarters at his present
address and a branch at San Diego. His
business connections now cover Two
hemispheres and through them he han
dies his large and increasing business.
He is the fiscal agent for the Bell
Wood Gold Mining company, the Bull
frog Gold Note Mining company, the
Ramona Cahuilla Gem company and
other companies of equal Importance.
Conscientious to fault, Mr. Faulkner
only accepted the fiscal agency of these
companies after exhausttvely investi-
eating them, and has devoted his busi-
ness talents and his entire chain OF 90
mestie and foreign connections to the
advancement of their interests.
The Bell-Wood mine is without
rival in California for size and gem
eral excellence the Bullfrog Gold Note
is so admirably situated as to location
that it received the approval of miners
and engineers before work began and
has since far exceeded the most san
guine hope. :.
The Ramona -Cahuilla Gem mine is
one of the foremost producers OF per-
feet gems in the southwest and offers
splendid inducements for investors. Mr..
Faullxner's connection with these valu-
arle properties gives class to the in
vestment and is an assurance, OF falr
and honorable dealing In every trans
action. He invites inquiries regardlng-
these properties and will give bank REL
erences to all interested.

The rapid growth of our city has cre-

CALIFORNIA VEGETABLE UNION

This immense concern, comprised OF the
largest fruit and vegetable growers in
the state, was established five years
ago and has capital stock of 100000.
The principal office is maintained at S14
East Third street, Los Angeles. The
operations Of the company cover the en-
tire east, and the immense quantities of
fruits and vegetables shipped annually
give employment to a large number of
persons More than twenty packing
houses in Los Angeles and at the principal
shipping points in California are main
tanned. The union is a great stimulus to
immigration, through its efforts in induc-
ing fruit and vegetable growers to locate
upon agricultural lands, thus supplying
the packing houses with the product.

Los ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER
AS A RETAIL
CENTER
ELEGANT STOCKS OF GOODS ARE
DISPLAYED
Stores and Displays Equal to the Best
in Eastern Cities or European
Capitals - Have Large
Country Trade

Los Angeles is famous the country
over as retail center. There is no
city infthe country which so nearly ap-
proachee New York in the variety and
richness of its retail stocks and the vol
ume of business transacted is corresponds
ingly large. There Is no city in the
country with handsomer stores.
The reasons for these favorable con-
ditions are not far to seek. Los An
geles is city with large leisure class
who have money to spend. 1t is the
yearly rendezvous, summer and winter,
of thousands upon thousands of tourists
with more money to spend The city
itself Is prosperous.
Under such conditions it is easy't to see
that the retail merchants must meet
more exacting conditions than Is ordi-
narily the case with a city the size OF
Los Angeles. They have risen to the oc-
casion. Our great department stores are
the wonder of all transients who visit
them. Our own people take them as a
matter of course. That the best is none
too good for Los Angeles Is trite, but it
Is none the less true. The curio and
Japanese stores, too. add variety not OBJ
tainable in eastern sections
To undertake to specify the number
and the different branches of the re-
tail trade in Los Angeles would not even
be interesting. They are well distribute
ed, and many branches afford just the
kind of employment sought by many who
come here for the benefit of health. The
vast number of rooming houses. apart
ments and other structures for the ac-
,commodation Of tourists, has built up a
large trade in food and delicacies not
found in other cities.
The larger retail stores also have an
extensive country trade, fed by the net
work of trolley lines which make shop
ping in the city comparative comfort
for the suburbanite.
With the city growing at the rate Of
$4,000 a year, and with new residential
sections constantly being opened up, 1t
will be seen that the extension of the
retail trade must be rapid and large in
volume In proportion.

the popularity of the company's pro-
