PROSPERITY AND TORRANCE

Torrance In not only a manufactur­ ing city, with tbe Llewellyn Iron Works, the Torrance Window Glaaa Works, tbe American System of Re­ inforcing, the California Carbon Com­ pany, the lalm Manufacturing Com-

pany, the Union Tool Cpjapany, the ,' Aluminate Vitreous! Facing Company,

and the Pacific Electric railroad shops. It is more. It iB^glso a residential city with miles of paved streets, ce-

' ment curbs, parkings and cement side­ walks, and hundreds of modern dwell­ ings and a $30,000 auditorium, the lat­ ter now in the process of construc­ tion. But Torrance is even more; it

IB surrounded with miles of rich farm- Ing country. A lew notes in proof of this: Last year a rancher marketed

1,500 sacks of beans at ten dollars per sack; a total gross income of $15,000. Another Instance Is that of a grain rancher whose total gross income for two years was $46,000 or a total an­ nual gross Income for each two years of $22,500. Those familiar with either of these crops may easily compute the possible net income for each year, From these figures it is learned that a rancher may have an income'greater than that of many state officials. And

taining a life Income without the haz­ ard of being superseded at the end of four years with no prospect of re- .nstatement. With a manufacturing and an agricultural basis such as this, we look confidently to the great future

ADVERTISING AND CREDIT The president of one of the biggest

banks in America recently remarked: "When we find a customer cutting down in his advertising we begin to cut down on his credit." Banks are numbered among the biggest adver­ tisers these days, and banks know the j necessity of advertising space.

The bank is just exactly right about this. There is-no better sign of a business man slipping backward than the fact that he quits advertising. And banks know this very well. Lit­ tle Banner Courier, Oregon City, Ore.

sometimes true that many ascribe the quotation to a certain ancient Book with which all In Gardena are familiar. But the firm of Barnes and Son do not blow their own horn and with, some difficulty does one learn of their achievements.

In their gardens, at the home place, one may note a number of medicinal plants, some of which are noted in gardens elsewhere, grown for orna-' mental purposes such as the Calendula Offlcinalia, or marigold. The ffowers are gathered from this plant and placed upon drying frames and later, in the revolving drum which sifts the petals through the meshes when they fall into a receiver and are then ready for the laboratory process for the ex­ traction of the active principle for medicinal purposes. Another plant is the Cardous Marianus or holy thistle*, the. seed of this plant having been imported on the last westward voyage of the famous "Deutchland." Then there is the Chelidona Ma jus; the Vesicaria Communis, the last named s one of wbich a specimen was given
