IA tions of Los Angeles in these
beautiful fall days is not always con-
ducive to physical pleasure because Of
the great crowds of newcoming and
resident men and women that throng
every available foot of sidewalk and
jam the floor spaces of all the great
retail emporiums. The visitors have
come (and other thousands are daily to
come by reason OF tourist rates) to look
Los Angeles over and see for themselves
the truth of the many statements sent
broadcast that Los Angeles is the most
/ inviting metropolis on the Pacific coast
in which to find true home or engage
in paying business; and judged by the
remarkable movement now on in the
local real estate market and the eager
hunt for storeroom these determined
people have found things to be true and
to their liking.
If Los Angeles, like some cities, were
held to local forces for growth, these
keen business men from eastern CEN
ters of trade would calmly visit us and
give us the polite go-by; but their
knowledge of trade here in all its bear
ings; of the certain growth of popula-
ton here; of the present great and
soon-to-be greater list of manufactur-
ing enterprises; of the proposed reach
ing out for the trade of Mexico and
Central America; of the great mining
and oil trade in the Nevada and Utah
desert regions; of the immensely greater
citrus acreage every year and the re-
nnarkable rise in prices therefor; of the
unusually large contingent of well-to-do
or retired capitalists who make their
homes here; of the vast reaches of
mining territory in Arizona and New
Mexico with their financial bases here;
of the existing and possible terminals
for railroads and steamship lines; of the
varied and vast needs of the cosmo-
politan masses of the people who have
brought all these things into being;
their knowledge of all these things
gained at first hand decides them to
cast their lot among US, and the 100000
mark 81 forcefully placed by Mayor
Harper is made possible of attainment
IN tne next ten years.
Periods of great depression are never
known in Los Angeles, and the reason
lies in the fact that as one industry
grows to it's greatest limit another de-
velops by reason of that growth and
opens up a virgin field for the shrewd
business man, the men and the oppor-
tunities keeping pace with the growth
of the city. Unexploited possibilities
lie all about Los Angeles, awaiting only
capital and the right men to material
ize new industries, and the especial
need of manufacturing plants and the
especial inducements to bring them
here form a leading objective point for
new men and imported capital. Shoe
leather, glass, wearing apparel and all
the manufactures of steel, wood, iron
ana textile fabrics can find a ready
market here and at contiguous points
and the best of it all is business men
are seeing these great openings and
occupying them.
A salient element in all this good
work is the fact that Los Angeles is
soon to have water supply that viii
eclipse the world for volume and purity
and brand new charter nodded or
lines in accordance with moderr
thought and needs, assuring to all mel
who come among us freedom in it'
highest sense and protection in all tha
does not contravene the law.
These manifold blessings, Offered
freely to good men from all parts o
the land. are the results of years o
painstaking endeavor, and the mel
who brought them into being may b.
trusted to conserve their interest
under any or all circumstances.
