ness axiom that no one factor contributes
more toward the upbuilding Of city than
manufacturing Industries have built up
the great eastern cities, and 1t is the
manufacturer to large extent who must
be looked to in making Los Angeles rank
with the leading commercial centers Of
the country. Though mining and agri-
cultural interests may form substantial
contribution to the forward movement Of
the Southern California metropolis the
encouragement Of the Made in Los An
geles" slogan is the real key to her future
greatness in the world Of commerce. Any
local manufacturing Industry. therefore,
that is thriving and making its influence
felt on the basis of merit and merit alone
is entitled to recognition and encourage
ment. BY so doing, the million population
mark will become more and more prob
ability and the supremacy of Los Angeles
will be assured.
A chance visit of Herald representa-
tive to Dolgeville few days ago en-
phasized the fact that this prosperous
little suburb on the San Gabriel line of
the Huntington electric system is doing
more than its share in the matter Of
pushing Los Angeles to the front. Less
than three years ago Dolgeville was prac-
tically unknown. Today 1t is not only
a charming home city, but supports
strong banking institution and number
OF good stores. A postoffice, telephone

that are part and parcel Of the parent
city are enjoyed by the enterprising and
wideawake people of Dolgeville.
And what has brought about the change
in the space Of three short years? In
dustrial enterprises that have become fix
lures, giving lucrative employment 10 |
hundreds of skilled mechanics and netting |
corporations and individuals handsome |
returns every year. 1t is merely case
of history repeating itself and with each
repetition comes a healthy, substantial
forward movement.
Electric Appliance Industry
One of the principal manufacturing en-
terprises of Dolgeville, and one that was
recently established, is the Electric Heat
ing and Manufacturing company incor-
porated manufacturers of electric heat
ing and cooking appliances of every
description, and contractors for the in |
stallation of power, light and heating
plants
Here is a manufacturing industry that
should not only be encouraged because
1t belongs to Los Angeles, but also be-
cause the company is making better, more
durable and more satisfactory electric
goods than any of its competitors. The
advantages of cooking, heating and IRON
ing by electricity as against the old gas
or stove method have long been recog-
nized, but it remained for the Electric
Heating and Manufacturing company to
put electric appliances on the market
that combined the necessary features of
economy.
Besides being handsome in appearance, |
the e. H. and M. appliances are econom-
ical in the matter of first cost as well |
as in maintenance and operation. The
goods sell for less than those made by
any other manufacturers cost half as
much in electric power to operate them
and are practically indestructible. The
inventor of the electric appliances manu-
featured at Dolgeville, and he is a Cali
fornia man. too, has so perfectly over
come the annoying and expensive burn
ing out" feature that the company has
been unable to make the electric fiat iron
burn"out with a constant application of
Plant Beehive of Industry
The thoroughly up-to-date plant Of the
Electric Heating and Manufacturing COM
pany is located about three blocks south
of the Dolgevnle electric station and con-
sists of a substantial one-story brick |
building 60x140 feet in size. The factory |
is veritable beehive of industry, large |
force of skilled operatives being employed |
in the seven departing forming and |
finishing the various electric appliances |
that have become so popular with the
public In general In fact the demand is |
80 great that some difficulty is ex-
perienced in keeping up with it, and
negotiations are now in progress with a |
view to making important additions to
the plant and increasing the manufac-
turing facilities generally. Orders for the
goods have not been confined to the Pa
cific coast section, but come from prac-
tically every state in the Union. With an
increase in the capacity for production,
there is absolutely no limit to the selling
field, as the e. H. and M. goods possess |
the very features that the public is look
Ing for. The inventor made an exhaus-
tive study of the best methods of utiiz-
ing electricity with the highest degree Of
economy and efficiency, and the best evil
dence of his success is the enormous and
ever increasing monthly sales of the ap-
pliances.

pliances manufactured by the company is
