MANY WHOLESALE eRocERs

The wholesale district of Los Ange-
les represents millions of dollars III
valuation. 1t is a business of vast I'M
portance to the people of the Pacific
coast, for it is from the great store
houses of the firms that the consuming
public obtain their supplies. Scores OF
wholesale grocery firms do business IN
Los Angeles and make heavy shipments
daily in every direction. The com
modities are obtained from the best
markets in the world and are brought
to the coast by the transcontinental
lines and by steamers. Wholesale gro
Gerry interests come close to the peo-
pie. who realize that to live they must
eat. We owe a great deal to the en-
terprise and faithfulness Of the whole
saler, and it is gratifying to state that
no section of the country can boast or
more reliable wholesale firms than Los
Angeles.
The splendid retail grocery estab-
lishments in Los Angeles are among
the finest in the United States, the
owners carrying complete stocks OF
family supplies and making prompt de-
liveries every hour in the day to any
part of the city and in the remote
suburbs,

TITLE INSURANCE COMPANIES

The existence of numerous title ex-
animation and title guarantee COM
panies in Los Angeles are of the great
est Importance to those engaged in real
estate transactions, either for home
building or for investment. Title to
land is not transferred by delivery
alone, but also by deed, and the deed
to be effective, must conform to many
strict, technical and arbitrary rules of
law. No title is a good title unless
every deed in the chain, extending back
to the original source, substantially
conforms to the rules Of law. The law
of California requires that all instru-
ments conveying real estate shall be
recorded as notice to the public of
change of ownership. Title insurance
companies carefully search the records
and issue certificates of title which
give to the purchaser of property full
assurance of all rights under the law.
Another important feature of title in
surance business is the handling of real
estate transactions in escrow, every
detail of transaction being closed up
to the satisfaction of all parties inter-
ested in a deal before final payments
are made and papers are passed giving
title to property.

the pioneer life of the prospectors. The
mines of the Pacific coast have created
hundreds of millionaires, many of

operators are living a life Of ease and

SEEDS FOR THE GROWERS

The colonists and settlers coming to
the Pacific coast every year have made
business In the line of providing seeds
for the home gardens and fields de-
cidedly brisk for wholesalers, jobbers
and retailers. Thousands of farmers
from the east and north who. have
come to the coast to cultivate the soil
have been active and prosperous, and
their success has been an inspiration
for others who have looked over the
field, and for those who have heard OF
the splendid results achieved. The San

DRUG INTERESTS

The wholesale interests OF Los Ange-
les comprise every commodity entering
into the life of a large and growing
community, and in many lines the
stocks carried exceed the demands of
the community, the excess being sdis-
tributed through the regular channels
of trade to remote parts Of the Pacific
coast The drug business of +he city
is quite extensive. There are n num-
ber of large firms identified with the
trade, both in the wholesale and retail
line, and the quality of the goods is of
the highest grade. Most of the drug
business of the coast section Is hand
led through the Los Angeles houses,
and as the city grows the stocks and
facilities for handling the trade are en-
larged.

land as a contribution to the Salvation
Army.
Among the millionaires of London, Sir
Thomas Lipton's $25, 100000 is small
fry when compared with estates such
as that of the infant Earl Grosvenor,
valued conservatively at $S0,0O0,00O, or
that of the premier duke Of Norfolk,
whose income is $500 day.
We are drawing no morals in this
article, yet one is forced at least to
think, and think profoundly, when he
learns that there are many very
wealthy men, including forty-nine mil
lionaires in Russia, and not one in
Japan, save the mikado himself. The
entire nation, according to the TIL
Shimpo. Tokio's leading financial jour
nal, holds but AL fortunes of as much
as $250,000 each, and these are Japan's s
richest Our Senator Clark or Mr..
Flagler could either of them buy out
the entire AL. And yet Japan has no
paupers. 1t is land of people well
drilled, of farms well titled, of pockets
we'll filled. Their wealth is evenly dis
tributed. On the other. hand, Russia's g
rich are lavishly elegant in their man
ner of living beyond anything mere
money has made possible in other
hands Not a duke or a prince of the
blood but INDUCES in magnificent ex-
travagances which make the Oriental
gasp with amazement. What has been
said of millionaires generally is at least
tr .e of those of Russia, judging from
the result of Russia's contest with the
Japanese; it is that we sorrow, not
that these Russians have so much
money, but that they seem to have
nothing else.
The czar has always been called the
richest man in the world, and his for
tune is set at s., zoo, 100000, but Muzaffar,
the shah of Persia, wears green stone
In his turban worth $4,0O0,000, and what
ever Persia herself is worth is his.
Considering the growth in individual
wealth since the days of Moses Beach,
we are justified in fearing develop
ment of money power during the next
fifty years that will be full of peril.

LIGHT AND POWER SYSTEM
Is WITHOUT A RIVAL
Electricity Moves Factory Machinery
and Street Cars, and IIIuminates
Homes, Business Houses
and Streets

In this age of progress and great in
dustrial activity corporations which
provide the people with light and power
have expended vast sums in furnishing
electricity to illuminate streets, houses
and places of business, and for the pro-
duction of economical and reliable en-
ergy to move the street cars and keep
whirling the wheels of the factories.
The companies engaged in the electric
light and power business are composed
largely of California capitalists and
the organizations meet all require
ments. Power for the big electric
plants Is obtained from Kern river, the
force being conveyed across the Te-
hachapi by means of expensive equip
ment The San Bernardino mountain
canyons also provide great water
power for the generation of electricity.
The completion of the great Owens
river aqueduct a few years hence will
furnish an additional source of power
for the manufacture of electricity. 1t
is certain that the supply Of mountain
water will be abundant for both do
nestle and irrigation purposes.
Los Angeles justly boasts of being the
most brilliantly lighted city in the
world. Broadway, Spring, Hill and
Main streets are adorned with hand
some iron posts, from the tops of which
every night over 5000 incandescent
lamps make the thoroughfares as light
as day

WHOLESALE PRODUCE

With the rapid growth of Los An
geles and the steadily increasing pop
ulation of all the cites and towns in
the great southwest the prompt han
ding of the produce supply for the
people has become one of great mag
nitude. Los Angeles is provided with
scores of first class wholesale produce
firms whose members and assistants
work hard early and late every day to
serve the public. All carry the best
line of produce to be had on the coast
and it is always in prime condition.
Recently the general market space
was greatly enlarged to provide in
creased accommodations for the whole

NEW CEMENT WORKS

Among the many new manufacture
ing enterprises established In the
southwest is the cement industry. The
use of cement in the construction of
modern business and Office buildings
has created greatly increased demand
for the enduring material and the
companies engaged in the manufac-
ture and sale of the product are among
the leading institutions of Los Angeles.
Vast quantities of cement are used
every year and in the construction of
the Owens river aqueduct extensive
demand is made for the supply.

BIG REFINING COMPANIES

f. Millions of dollars are invested in oil
interests in the southwest and the great
corporations who bring the crude oil
from the earth have erected large
buildings and installed modern appli-
ances for refining petroleum and other
products of the general market. The
companies engaged in the refining
business embrace some of the most
reputable business men of the Pacific
coast, and the corporations are active
and successful competitors with other
companies engaged in the same enter
prise east OF the Rockies.

FURNITURE TRADE ACTIVE

Among the many wholesale and re-
tail firms in Los Angeles which serve
the people of the southwest are the
several big furniture establishments
that carry heavy stocks of goods and
do business in splendid commercial
blocks on the principal thoroughfares
of the city. The stocks of furniture
comprise all of the latest designs i'll
furniture made for the comfort of
families, and to meet the active de-
mand in this growing community vast
sums are invested in furniture that is
frequently drawn upon to fit up fine
hotels and imposing mansions. The
wholesale trade is an important feature
of the business.

VAST CATTLE INTERESTS

One of the important features in the
development of the southwest, and one
which in a large degrSe first attracted
the easterners to the west, is the en-
terprise of stock raising to meet the
ever increasing demand of the consum-
ing world for food supplies. The rails
ing of stock cattle in the great valleys
of the southwest is source of steady
income and serves to make the west
practically independent of the east and
middle west for fresh meats. Los An
geles packing houses obtain STOCK from
the ranchers along the coast and en-
courage the industry by placing orders
ahead for all stock that can be shipped
to the local market. All stock raisers
are prosperous and possess handsome
bank balances,

FAMOUS MINERAL SECTION

the ricll- mineral sections of the Pacific
coast region marked activity is noted
in San Bernardino county, where there
are number of promising claims that
are being worked with profit to all in
terested by strong companies whose
general offices are in Los Angeles.
There is no county in the state richer
in mineral wealth than San Bernardino.
Every company that has made any de-
velopment under the direction of ac-
credited mining engineers has been a
winner, and the prospects are that the

STRONG LAND COMPANIES

In the development of the southwest
many strong and reliable land COM
panies are directly interested and are
active in setting forth the advantages
of the Pacific coast as a producing Sec
ton of the first Importance. The ac-
tivities of these companies in the past
have brought tens of thousands of
colonists and settlers to the southwest,
and still they come to cultivate the
finest soil to be found on the globe.
The valleys are filling up rapidly, and
those who buy ten or twenty acres at
once acquire independence and home
of comfort. The land companies point
the way and win deserved praise and
profit.

thousands of homes, also local made
furniture of every description. The
factories are splendidly equipped for
turning out the very best class of
goods. even to the choicest and most

1t has been stated that Los Angeles
has more soda fountains in operation
than any other city of it's size in the
country. There are certainly a few of
the soft drink fountains, not only in
the Angel city but also in all cities and
towns on the coast. Supplies for these
popular institutions are provided in
unlimited quantities and of the best
quality by the several firms in Los
Angeles. 1t is a business OF itself in
the line of pure syrups and other essen
tials, and the owners of the fountains
are promptly served.
