Max Axelrod as 1 became tired of the
other long name,
At 2016 South Figueroa street I
stopped at Dr. Dorothy's office, where
Mrs. Dorothy declared she had never
heard of such person as DIR. AXelrod,
adding she had lived there a long while
and knew everybody in the block.
Leaving Mrs. Dr. Dorothy l trailed
across to 2400 South Figueroa street,
where 1 was greeted by a Swedish serv-
ant girl, who didn't understand the
nrst time I asked for DR.. Axelrod, but
later said she was sure there was no
such person living in that house, and
directed me across the street to DR..
Jarvis Barlow. While we were talk
ing tall young chap appeared on the
scene attired in a light suit of clothes
and wearing light fedora hat.
Ingleside Floral Girl SIumbers
At DR.. Barlow's was met by Ger
man servant girl, wearing white ding
bat on her head. This girl was sure
had tackled the wrong house and sug-
gested l go to the end of the block, the
last house. where she thought l might
find all about my friend, Axelrod.
At "the last house." however, 1 no.
ticed there were half a dozen women
on the veranda, and as L passed they
were assisting an old lady up the stairs
in an invalid chair.
Walking back to Adams street, 1 en-
tered the Ingleside Floral companys
store at las West Adams street, where
l encountered young girl who wore a
blue skirt and white shirt waist with
a black stripe in it. From this girl,
who was in charge of the store at the
time, 1 learned that Easter lilies were
worth $3.50 with a pot.
"If you want any you had better
leave your order now," said the young
girl, "because they may be all gone
soon.p
Declaring 1 would send mother around
later in the day / secured card and
left the store.
Oh, Professor, What Chance!
At the corner of Grand avenue and
Adams stret 1 met letter carrier NO.
1876. who had just been handed a letter
by a woman who wore a white dress
with black stripes, and Immediately
discovered a chance to revert my argu-
ment back to the search for my friend,
Won Heidelberg
Letter carrier No. 1876 looked thought
fully for a moment before he answered:
"There are a number of professional
people on my route, but have no such
name as -udolph Won Heidelberg on
my list"
At that moment Grand avenue car
No. 452 came along and 1 enjoyed
ride with conductor No. 1470 as far as
Pickles street. (Pico streetO.
Walking back two blocks to 1902
South Grand avenue L determined to
take a chance with Prof. Heinrich Won
Stein, who conducts a musical con-
servatory at that address. l met the
professor personally and was given a
good line on the charge for learning to
play the piano.
All he wanted was SO a lesson. In
case you were not real good player
you could pay so cents and he would
listen to you once in eight lessons.
That's going some, at that.
AS 1 was leaving the office Prof. Won
Stein asked me my name, to which l
replied, IN. M. Rogers" all of which
he took care to write on card.
More Statesmen sIumher
Walking around to 1914 Figueroa
street / accepted another chance with
a woman in charge of F. o. Haussler's
photograph studio by asking her the
price on cabinet photographs. l Sc
cured the information that prices
ranged from $40 a dozen up, and in
case l wanted a large picture 1 could
get that for Sc extra.
Going back to Grand avenue caught
Redondo Beach car No. and rode with
conductor No. 13 to Broadway and Fifth
street.
My tour of the department stores was
as uneventful as it was uninteresting
to me. The clerks in this town are all
dead up to their ear tops or else they
don't care a rap whether there is an
easy thousand dollar note being showed
under their noses day after day or not.
At J.. r. Lanes Dry Goods company,
327 South Broadway, L purchased pair
of suspenders from a short young man,
with light hair and black suit, wearing
black sleeves over his coat sleeves.
This clerk even went so far as to
wrap my purchase personally, Later
l discovered l had been waited on by
clerk No. SO, who had given me sales
slip No. "a.
Watch at the AngeIus
At the Boston dry goods store, 239
South Broadway l bought two collars
