Long Beach, Cal.
By Mrs. Katherine Mack


Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Stevenson were
pleasant callers at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. M. w. Mack We always
enjoy their visits. as not one dull mo-
/ ment is spent in their presence. Mr..
and Mrs. Stevenson are among the
most fortunate property owners in
the beach town, some of their lots
being located near the oil zone. We
hope for them a fine "gusher" in the
near future.
1t is always interesting to visit the
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Brooks, as
they are one of the pioneer families
of the Beach, and have something to
show for their tireless years of toll.
They own three valuable lots on
Gala avenue and 11th street, with
two good rent houses which enable
them to sit down and enjoy a we'll
earned rest They also plan to build
an apartment house on the east front
of their lots some time this summer.
Houses are in great demand and we
hope they will not change their plans,
as we are anxious to see this worthy
couple move on to the topmost rung
of the ladder.
We called to see our worthy pas
tor and wife, Rev. and Mrs A. l..
Brewer, and found them preparing to
journey to Redlands, to attend the
young peoples convention which met
in that city. Rev Brewer is pastor
of the Second Baptist church of Long
Beach, and is doing a great work.
The choir is under the supervision of
one of our talented vocalists, who is
a graduate Of one of our Eastern
schools. We enjoy good singing, and
with Mrs. Brewer as leading soprano,
the Second Baptist church choir
ranks second to none in Southern
California.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Jackson called
to see us few days ago and to in
spect our little ranch. We were agree
ably surprised and delighted to have
them as our guests. They were en-
thusiastic in their praise of the ranch
and said they would call more often
when the fruit gets ripe. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson are prominent members
of Long Beach's social circle, having
lived here for number of years.
They own their home, a lovely two
story residence in East Aneheim
Blvd, near the oil zone, where lots
are doubling in value almost every
twenty-four hours. They have been
offered small fortune for their home
more than once, and have refused
each offer.
Mrs. Erwin Higgins and her cousin,
Miss Marie White, are to be com
plimented for their stay and contin-
ued success with the Buffums Depart.
ment Store (white), which is one of
the largest department stores in
Southern California. Mrs. Higgins
has full charge of the mezzanine floor
and Miss White is in the suit and
cloak department. This is Mrs. Hig-
gins third year with this firm.
Rev. and Mrs Williams are always
at home to their many friends, so
don't forget to pay them a visit when
you go to Long Beach. They also
are owners of valuable property near
the oil fields, and will hold it until
they are satisfied they are getting all
1t is worth. The reporter did not get
to see Mrs. Williams last week when
she called, but look out for me, will
be there soon.
1t is said that Mr. and Mrs. ]. E..
Perdue will soon have their two
three-room apartment houses finished,
which they purchased recently and
moved on their corner lot on East
9Th street. The rainy weather and
slight indisposition of Mrs. Perdue
worked quite hardship on Mr.. Per
due. However, we are glad to re-
