CALIPATRIA HAS MADE
GOOD: NO LONGER AN
EXPERIMENT; INVESTIG ATE

April 1, 1917, Calipatria will be
three years old.
This simple fact, in itself, is of no
particular Importance. Many other
towns in the United States are three
years old, or, perhaps, will be on their
next birthday.
There is another fact, however, that
is of supreme Importance to any man
who is looking for a safe investment,
and that is that no three-year-old town
il. the state can compare with Cali
ratria in the character of it's busi-
ress buildings and in the trade it en-
joys.
Many towns, due to mining booms,
have grown to gerater commercial
importance, perhaps, in the same pc
Rod of time, but all were of tempo
,rary construction.
The average townsite company has
ar eye to the "main chance" All that
interests such promoters is a quick
turnover of lots, and little if } any
thought is given to the appearance
ct the town.
Not SO with the founders of Cali
patria.
The "main chance" with these men
was $4,000 acres of land. That is
where they expected to make "kill-
ing" to use the language of the
street. The town might truthfully be
said to have been "fad." They could,
therefore, afford to indulge certain
amount of estheticism.
Results speak for themselves. Cali
patria stands as a manument to the
men who defied precedent and insist
ed that all who bought business prop
e,ty MUST erect buildings that would
be a credit to the town and the North
End.
Don't you believe it would pay you
t. join forces with such men?
For further information about the
wonderful opportunities in and around
Calipatria, call on or address T. A.

tria Town and Farms.

TRIP THRU ITALY
Commonweal Club of Y. w. C.,
A. to Give Lecture Mon
day Evening
(The Kellberg Studio)

"a Trip Through Sunny Italy" is
the title of the Commonweal lecture
to be given Monday evening, April
18th, in the Young Womens Christian
Association building, promptly at 7.45,
by E. n. Hershey, a prominent citi-
zen of Harrisburg. Many of the pic
lures, that will be shown were taken
by Mr.. Hershey when travelling
through Europe as the representative
of Underwood and Underwood, of New
York city. AS Italy is now playing q
part in the history making of the
world, this lecture is very timAly and
interesting. The lecture is free and
a cordial invitation is extended to all.
Since coming to Harrisburg, Mr..
Hershey has taken an active part in
civic life. In addition to being secre-
tary and treasurer of the Hershey
Creamery Company, he is president of
the Shimmell Community Center Asso-
citation and a prominent Rotarian.
The members of the Commonweal
Club regret that unavoidable circum-
stances presented DIR. Francis d. Pat
terson from lecturing on Industrial
Hygiene" Monday evening, but hope
that later on they may have the op-
portunity of hearing him.
