II is estimated that over one thous-

ing for Columbus to attend the state
fair. Today was the banner day and
the attractions of the fair caught the
attention Of Marion people in mark
ed degree.
On the local Hooking Valley rail-
road two sections were run this
morning and sufficient coaches could
not be procured to carry the people
who desired to go. Seven hundred
tickets were sold this morning for
the two sections and the regular
Hooking Valley trains leaving after
IL o'clock carried over one hundred
from here. The Pennsylvania rail-
road had a special train south this
morning heavily loaded and from
here about one hundred were carried.
Seventy-five from here went down on
the regular south bound train. On the
Columbus, Delaware and Marion ell
ectric line business was decidedly
heavy and trains were made OF the
coaches running two and three at
each run. Express cars were used to
carry the people this morning. The

On the local Hooking Valley road
scarcity of coaches was experienced
and great difficulty was had in OBJ

Its Recent Growth
THE phenomenal growth

THE phenomenal growth
n of this great bank
has been due to five prime
reasons:
First, the personnel OF
its board of directors.
Every member Is favor
ably known for his per-
sonal integrity, and all
are identified with the
city's largest undertakings,
and have always espoused
those things which have
made for the betterment
of Los Angeles.
Second, the efforts of its
executive officers. Right
here has been exemplified
the true reason why any
