it. for Clements came to Ell Centro,
and worked in a drug store, first
in 1912. He obtained a position
with John Davis, then proprietor
of a drug store where the Valley
Drug company now is located.
Later Clements changed to go
to work for w. H. Greenleaf in a
store now occupied by the Shirer
drug store. Clements stayed with
Greenleaf only for a year how
ever, when he left FL Centro. Stay
ing away three years, he returned
to go into partnership with Green
leaf, his former employer, in 1917.
Greenleaf then was located where
Clements drug store now is.
1t was in 1922 Clements pur-
chased Greenleaf's interest in the
drug store. He has been sole owner
of one of the most prosperous
businesses in El Centro since that
time.

the most completely stocked in

EDGAR BROTHERS
PIONEER FIRM In
VALLEY INDUSTRY

Edgar Brothers company, one OF
the best-known concerns in I'M
perial Valley, was established in
1902 in a small adobe store in I'M
perial where a stock of hardware
and implements was offered for
sale. 1t is the oldest business il
the valley.
The company has enjoyed a re-
markable growth and today has
four Ford stores, three hardware
stores, one implement store and
one wholesale house in Imperial
Valley. The establishments are
situated in FL Centre, CaleXico,
Brawley and Holtville.
Buildings now occupied by Edgar
Brothers form an interesting con-
trast to the little adobe where the
company was launched. Today's
buildings are of reinforced steel,
brick and concrete and are mod
ern in every way.

house. The investment in buildings
and equipment represents thou
sands of dollars.
Two families are represented in
the business, four brothers and 4
cousin.
In the beginning the company
dealt in equipment for teams anc
today handles Fords.
The growth and development OF
Edgar Brothers company is SYM
bolical of the growth and develop
ment of Imperial Valley. The
brothers established themselves in
business when the conquering OF
the desert had scarcely begun.
Edgar Brothers company is as
closely identified with Imperial
Valley as is the canal system itself
The brothers are: Arthur, Ray
w. A. and j. H. Edgar and the
cousin is Tom Edgar.

WEEK OF
ACTIVITY FOR
FAIR GROUNDS

Silent and deserted as haunted
house throughout most of the year,
the Imperial county fair grounds
this week will awake to five days of
feverish activity, climaXing months
of preparation and to be followed
by that period when the crowds
have deserted the grounds and only
workmen are busy tearing down the
various scaffolds, hot dog stands
and exhibits which have caused the
presence of hundreds of spectators.
Then, for another year, the fair
grounds will slumber in liStlesS
lethargy, to be fully awakened only
by another fair.
But this by no means tells of the
little breezes of activity which now
and then blow aside for a moment
the curtain of sleepiness-the oc-
casional visit of an impatient auto
mobile whose owner wishes to try
its speed on the fair grounds track,
or the horseman who gallops over
the deserted field before an empty
grandstand.
And now and then an automobile
race, or a horse race, or some other
such event, draws a ghost of the
old crowd back to tenant the
grandstand for a brief time, or to
stroll about the large field, bring
ing back a shadow of the colorful
fair time.
Then another pause, and bar
becue, picnic or polo game comes
again to demonstrate that the fair
grounds are not sleeping, but are
only mapping.

Glancing down Don observed that he had forgotten to change his shoes and was wearing tan brogues with 8 full dress suit.

Structure Over
 Mattatuck Dam
 Proves Puzzling
Material Carried Away as Fast as Replaced Officials
 Brown on Suggestion That Boosters of New One Join Efforts in Carrying on Work of Destruction

Waterbury has a disappearing bridge, one of the worlds great wonders yet to be sung of, &C., cording to Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming. It Is the foot bridge across the Matta- tuck dam on Homestead avenue. Constantly pieces of the bridge are carried away and as fast as they are replaced more pieces disap- rear. Rumor has it that somebody is enjoying a plentiful supply of fire wood this season.
 Superintendent Fleming Is at a loss to figure out how to prevent the continuous disappearance of bridge parts. The only way, 1t is figured, would be to put guards on night and day just as would be done in case of war or else fool the thief or thieves and build a concrete or steel bridge across the dam.
 Needless to say, residents of the

 The Fashionplate Maestro--af Don is often called-was born ir Detroit, Michigan, on october 15 1907. To apply the gold spoon saying to Donald Lindsay Bigelow would not be far wrong but il would be incorrect to say that he was a pampered rich mans son.
 Unlike most fathers Bigelow, Sr did not look to his son to carry on the business he himself had made such strides in. but rather encour- aged him to choose a profession to his own liking.
 Before he was thirteen Don had definitely decided on music for q career. Attending the preparatory school at Carnegie Institute of Technology at that time. Don or ganized band and before long was supplying the rhythmic mel ody to which his fraternity broth CTS and their prom trotters danced
