The first Presbyterian church across
the street was thrown open and
large number of injured were given

At the receiving hospital where but
ten or twelve persons could be treat
ed at one time, it was necessary to
divert the cars to the Pasadena hos

were sent to Los Angeles and nearby
towns and ambulances were soon
forthcoming with physicians and
nurses.

They represent manufacturers, oil
companies, we'll drillers and others
engaged in the oil industry.
Threads on pipe made by one
manufacturer are not always the
same as those on pipe made by an.
other manufacturer. although the
articles may be labeled with the

A little article known as a wrist

with left hand.
Numerous instances Of this lack
