BUSINESS SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT IN FEBRUARY

General business in the Pacifi,

Vancing tendency have appeared
during February. The modest i'm.

ant lndices, was in contrast to the
reactionary tendency of the previ-
Gus half year.
This IS the Introductory para
graph of the Monthly Summary Of
Conditions in the Pacific Southwest
territory compiled by the Research
department of the Los Angeles
First National Trust & Savings
Bank and the First Securities Com
pany, and released for publication
today. The summary continues in
part.
The combined February clearings
for Los Angeles, after adjustment
for seasonal changes and the extra
working day, recorded n good i'm.
provement over the lower levels of
the past several months. although
slightly less than February. 1927.

and outside reporting centers.
showed similar gain, with an ac
tual increase over a year ago.
Industry appeared to he generally
active. Power consumption was well
above last year although employ
ment was less, especially in the mo
tion picture and petroleum indus
tries. Petroleum output has held
steady, while refinery operations
have been declining. Harbor com
merce was larger in value but less
in tonnage.
Agricultural prospects at the pres
ent time are primarily concerned /
with the moisture situation. Season /
al precipitation is much below nor
NAL in all districts except the ex-
treme southern part of the state. +
February has been the second con
secutive month of little rainfall and +
Il will require double the usual rain I
fall from now on to reach the t

Growers have been actively pre-
pairing for 1923 crops. Soil cultiva
tion and pruning of trees and vines
is well advanced. The condition of
grains and ranges has deterioratcd
during the latter part of the month.
The navel orange crop now being
marketed is bringing excellent re-
turns. Both orange and lemon pric-
cs are well above last year.
The Imperial Valley lettuce sea

TALKS On
REALTY ADS

Advertising is not visionary but
a tangible factor in business, and 1t
is mot an expense but a producing
machinery, George A. Lewis told the
members of the Washington Real
Estate Boards last real estate class
at the Y. M. G. A.
Lewis explained that no particular
formula need be followed in refer
ence to advertising, but rather that
each individual problem must pc
considerd from its own circum'
stances. Outside Of the fact that al
vertising should be consistent, there
are two definite kinds OF advertising
which should be interesting to real
estate firms. One is that OF institu-
fional advertising, which relates
largely to publicity which establishes
the reputation and selling the work
itself. and the other advertising
which has for its object the attain
ment of prospects.
In outlining the various MEDIUMS
Of advertising Mr.. Lewis placed
them in the order Of their value as
newspapers. bilIboards, signs. direct
mail. and novelty sdvertising.
washington, Mr.. Lewis said, was
one of the greatest newspaper al
vertising cities in the country by
reason of the fact that the intelh-
gence Of the average citizen here is
somewhat higher than in most
cities, and therefore the citizens
read very carefully all the neWspa-
pers,
