m HE growth of Lomita, which was
placed on the market two years
Il ago by w. I. Hollingsworth &
Co., has been remarkable What was
only a short time ago practically a
barren waste is now a thriving farm
ing community, with the chances get
ting better every day for its reaching
the magnitude of a city.
The expansion of Lomita has been
natural sequence. A visit to the prop
erty Is convincing proof of the state
ment. Lomita is favorably situated,
being only three miles from San Pedro,
adjacent to the shoestring strip less
than half a mile from Wilmington,
which is now a part of the city of Los
Angeles; five miles from Long Beach
and about the same distance from Re
dondo.
Promise Of the development of the
san Pedro and Wilmington harbors has
been the boon for Lomita. The proper
ty is so close to the proposed improve
ments that the spectators have been
eager to get land with such fattering

been made in one-acre, fiVe-acre and
ten-acre pieces. In one instance twen-
ty-five acres were purchased. The land
was placed on the market originally at

Owners of Lomita property have not
depended entirely on the proposed i'm

built about seventy-five homes, placed

now are to be found many pretty
homes, and a magnificent schOolhouse.

Saving the Pennies. -

"Uncle Walt" of Emperia, who
writes exceptionally good rhyme in
prose, offers the following comment
upon the principle OF thrift:
1T Is wise to save the pennies
when the pennies come your way.
for you're more than apt to need
them when arrives the rainy day;
and when famine comes whOoping
with the crossbones on her vest,
then the fellow with the bundle has
the edge on all the rest. I admire
the man who's saving, if he doesn't
save too hard, if he does't think a
dollar bigger than the courthouse
yard; and ike to see him sailing
down the riches that he's struck, if
he always has quarter for the guy
that's out of luck. When the win
ter comes upon us, yelling like q
baseball fan, then it's nice to have
some Doodle in an old tomato can:
when there's sickness in the wig
wan, and we have to call the doc,
then it's nice to have a package
hidden In the eight day clock; when
old age, the hoary rascal, comes a
butting in at last. then its nice to
have some roubles that you cor
nered in the past; and the man who
saves the pennies is a dandy and a
duck-if he always has a quarter
for the guy that's out of luck.

retailers take hold of this proposition,
with their avenues of publicity,
action is sure to follow.
The retailers. as whole, are loyal
to Ian caster, and if the manufacturers
make the right kind of stand in
favor of our home manufactured goods
the retailers will be glad to respond.
If home-products snow is held it

Lancaster manufacturers, who ought
then to form a permanent organiza-

that Lancaster made goods are pulsed
forward by the local retailers.
A few days ago a man walked into
an imple ment store and asked to see a
new wagon. He was shown four
different kinds and not one made in
Lancaster. Matters OF this nature
could receive attention from such an
organization, whose committee could
call upon dealers and urge the i'm
portance of favoring all home pro-

be any benefit to Lancaster, but a

A Citizen Contributes the Following
Opinions on the Subject.
Editor Herald: 1t is likely that
within the next few days some action
will be taken toward the organization
in this city of preliminary body to
discuss the advisability of holding a
home products exposition and arrang-
ing for home products week in Lam
caster this fall.
Those of our manufacturers who
have been approached on the subject
have given the project their hearty
approval. but so far no definite move
has been taken toward such an
organization. 1t is agreed by all of
the manufacturers who have been
spoken to that it would be a splendid
advertisement for Lancaster made
products and the expense would not
be great. The loyalty of Lancaster
people for Lancaster would surely be
given fine test in such a week. All
citizens might be asked to wear a
badge for that week inscribed:
buy only Lancaster made goods so far
as the same are manufactured here, +"
or something to the same effect.
By this method every citizen of
Lancaster might be reached. and many
persons who have never given this SUBJ
ject any thought could be impressed
with the importance of buying home
products.
