radius of Los Angeles, which he has
had the opportunity to personally OBJ
serve, has increased in population from
25 to 100 per cent in the past three
years, and property valuations nave
increased from 100 to 1000 per cent.
Such railway service has been the
means of not only increased growth Of
cities and towns, but also the rapid
occupation of farm lands along the
line, and decidedly increased area
put under cultivation, thus adding
hundreds of thousands of dollars in the
receipts for products, which makes for
the betterment of the community.
1t is the mercantile interests of Los
Angeles that have reaped the greatest
benefit from the rapid trolley service
in and around the city. 1t Is so easy
for all who live on or near an electric
railway to come to the city TO do their
shopping, that but few local hrms
have an extensive mail order business
from nearby towns. 1t is estimated by
conservative business men in the re-
tail lines that the rate of increase
from year to year in Los Angeles retail
business due to the interurban line
service is fully so per cent, and II an
interested observer would watch the
delivery wagons of the various stores
deliver their loads of packages daily
at the parcel rooms in the local depots
of the electric lines, it would be very
easy to believe the above statements;
for so great Is the patronage OF sub
urban residents that all large stores

of their customers, so the person VINO

make his or her purchases and need
give no further concern until ready TO
depart for home Instead of being
detriment to the village storekeeper,
the electric lines are a decided benefit,
for he does not have to carry large
stocks and can at small expense come
to the city as often as he desires and
replenish such stocks from the whole
sale houses and get his goods via cleo
trio freight service the same day. Thus
many more people in country towns are
embarking in the retail business on
small capital, and the wholesalers or
Los Angeles declare that their business
from these sources increases 40 per
cent annually.
Many manufacturing enterprises that
are not large enough to have stub lines
or switches built into their plants
from the steam railroads find that the
electric freight car service meets ali
demands, and because of the lower
prices of lands farther out and the
greater advantages for their employees
In having comfortable homes at mod
crate price many factories, both large
and small, are to be found along the
lines of the Pacific Electric railway,
because of the excellent service
rendered.
Bringing hitherto isolated localities
into immediate touch with Los An
geles, and the cementing of all busi-
ness interests, and the expansion of
all towns from a population stand

property valuations from 500 to 1000
per cent, and be it known that the
