TO START FACTORY HERE? C. B. Bradshaw Asks Chamber of Commerce for Offer of Site and Building Here—Committee Appointed to Investigate C. B. Bradshaw of Orange addressed the chamber of commerce at its meeting on Monday evening in reference to the location here of a manufacturing industry recently organized by Orange county people. There were present Directors Oimstead, Walker, Wickett, Resh, Quarton, Williams and Howard. A number of citizens were present in the hall by invitation of the chamber of commerce. Mr. Bradshaw explained the purposes of his company to be the manufacture of light machinery of all kinds, and exhibited an automatic safety razor and motor, an invention of his own, which operates by electrical power. He desired to demonstrate the operation of the razor by connecting it with the city electric light wires, but the voltage was too low to admit of it. Besides the safety razor, he has a patented agreed to give the company a 50x100 and a lot 100x100, but that had not yet been able to raise sufficient to make good their offer was in some doubt whether they be able to do so, for there were ber of penurious people in that who did not seem to care what manufacturing industry was there or not. His company hussed the propriety of establish works in Los Angeles, but pref location here, if the Orange d through, provided a free build site were offered. Dr. Royer of was president of the company, the majority of its stockholders w ange people. Dr. Royer, he would of course prefer to local works at Orange, but would o objection to coming here if failed to make good. After a further discussion subject, and an inspection of thematic razor and its motor attack by those present, Mr. Bradshaw drew, to admit of a discussion matter by the chamber. Mr. Melrose, being called up the chair, said there could be no ing the fact that Anaheim w glad to have this factory locate yet he regretted that Mr. Br submitted no definite proposition the people to act upon. So fa offer from this city to the comp Mr. Bradshaw explained the purposes of his company to be the manufacture of light machinery of all kinds, and exhibited an automatic safety razor and motor, an invention of his own, which operates by electrical power. He desired to demonstrate the operation of the razor by connecting it with the city electric light wires, but the voltage was too low to admit of it. Besides the safety razor, he has patented hair cutter and other devices which could be manufactured by his company. These devices include electric fans, ventilators, egg beaters and all classes of light machinery. Bicycles and even watches could be manufactured. There was, he said, no factory turning out this class of work on the coast, and he had recently known of a number of orders having been sent east from this state. He gave figures showing the cost of producing his safety razor, together with its selling price, showing that a satisfactory margin of profit remained after paying all costs. Gillette, he said, sold a million of his safety razors in thirty months, and if this company could sell half that number in thirty years, it could pay a 6 per cent dividend upon the stock. There would be, he said, a thousand and one articles to be manufactured by the concern, which would go out after business in all directions. Asked by Mr. Olmstead regarding the number of men the company would give employment to, Mr. Bradshaw said that was almost impossible to say, but stated that when the works were in running order the company would give employment to from 100 to 200 people. The company had purchased $15,000 of machinery in the east, and this was somewhere between Denver and the coast. The entire cost of the plant would probably be from $15,000 to $20,000. Mr. Bradshaw said his mission to this city was to ask the chamber of commerce to make his company an offer to induce it to locate its works here. In reply to a question by Mr. Dietrich, he said an offer of a free site, with an adequate building, would be considered. He said the people of Orange had matic razor and its motor attachments by those present, Mr. Bradshaw drew, to admit of a discussion matter by the chamber. Mr. Melrose, being called up the chair, said there could be nothing the fact that Anaheim would glad to have this factory located yet he regretted that Mr. Brass submitted no definite proposition the people to act upon. So far offer from this city to the company concerned, he thought, to use words of the poet, that Mr. Brass should be off with the old love taking up with the new. Orange seem ad the first call on this manufacturing establishment: all its holders resided in that city, and Bradshaw had said that Dr. president of the company, pre his home town as a site for the He disliked the idea of any one this city to rake chestnuts out fire for him. It looked to him pitting one town against the other offer from this city would merely to spur Orange on to more action. He did not see what the for Anaheim to do until such Orange had failed in its effort to the works. L. E. Miller expressed himself similar sentiment. George L. Dietrich said if Mr. shaw's company had $15,000 up in it, a large number of men necessarily be employed. He be Anaheim should make a try for manufacturing concern. Judge Howard said, soto voce business. We went after the railway. A Voice—And we didn't get it. The matter was discussed for and a committee consisting of stead and Howard were appointing go to Orange for investigation at port. If it be learned that Orange swing the factory, no effort was made by Anaheim to secure it appears that Orange will fail through, things will be doing he mediately thereafter. Secretary Walker read correspondence, among the letters being a munication from Willie Mitchel $10 HAT FREE Any lady purchasing a $3 hat at the Hill Sisters' Millinery store, up to and including December 24th, will receive a ticket entitling her to a chance on a drawing to be made December 24th.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1879 save the company a building lot 100x100, but that they been able to raise money make good their offer. He doubt whether they would so, for there were a num.ious people in that town seem to care whether a big industry was located at. His company had propriety of establishing its Angeles, but preferred a place, if the Orange deal fell provided a free building and opened. Dr. Royer of Orange part of the company, and the its stockholders were Orte. Dr. Royer, he said, course prefer to locate the orange, but would offer no coming here if Orange like good. Further discussion of the san inspection of the auto- and its motor attachment present, Mr. Bradshaw with-nit of a discussion of the case chamber. ose, being called upon by there could be no deny-that Anaheim would be this factory located here, settled that Mr. Bradshaw definite proposition for act upon. So far as an city to the company was S. Howard, commending the chamber for its action in advertising this section. Mr. Mitchell avowed himself to be of the solemn conviction, however, that money spent in the Santa Ana papers was wasted, for no one ever sees a Santa Ana paper. He suggested the Los Angeles papers, as well as Eastern illustrated magazines, as being the means of catching the tourist eye, and advertising matter placed therein would be sure in his opinion to produce good results. The secretary was instructed to write Mr. Mitchell, acknowledging receipt of his letter, and to suggest to him that, he being evidently interested in the welfare of the community, he join the chamber of commerce and pay a dollar per month toward its support. Capt. Williams reported that he had been recently waited upon by a committee of Santa Ana citizens, including Postmaster Shaw and Assessor Scott, who exhibited an illustrated booklet descriptive of Santa Ana and Orange county. They asked that instead of this city issuing a booklet of its own, the chamber purchase these pamphlets instead. Santa Ana recently secured $800 from the supervisors for issuing this pamphlet, and Anaheim got $200 for another illustrated booklet.

Santa Ana wants Anaheim to buy $200 of its pamphlet, and refrain from issuing any new literature. The offer was declined with thanks, and the new booklet, profusely illustrated, and dealing with the advantages possessed by the county, will soon appear. COMMITTEE VISITS ORANGE. Messrs. Olmstead and Howard went to Orange on Tuesday and canvassed the situation. They found the outlook favorable, and will recommend that this city exert its energies toward locating the factory here. A Case of Smallpox Mrs. Handy, a young married woman of Villa Park, arrived in Anaheim on Friday last suffering with smallpox. The patient is the daughter of Mrs. Johnson of Villa Park and during her brief stay here remained at a cottage on South Los Angeles street, between Elm and Santa Ana streets. Dr. Beebe, the local health officer, was notified early on Saturday morning, and in company of Dr. Ball of Santa Ana, county health officer, and Drs. Johnston and Wickett of this city, an investigation of the case was at once made. The patient was found to be afflicted with a pronounced case of smallpox. She was immediately removed to Villa Park, where she is in quarantine under the care of the county health authorities. The case is quarantined, and the patient’s condition was reported to be such that recovery is confidently anticipated. The house was at once vacated by the family residing therein, and was thoroughly fumigated. Dr. Beebe said yesterday there was no danger of any spread of the infection. Dr. Beebe, local health officer, is entitled to credit for the prompt manner in which he ran down rumors of per- Automatic Alarm It is probable that if any adventurous burglar should ever attempt to drill his way into the vault of the German-American bank he will doubtless be sorry for it the moment his drill touches the inner steel lining which the vault has been provided with, for this will immediately start gongs ringing in various parts of the bank. This alarm will also sound if one even turns the door handle, and if the bank officials leave the bank in the evening without locking the vault, the alarm instantly notifies them of that fact. These gongs are operated by an electrical apparatus inside the vault. A large brass gong is placed outside the bank, above and to the side of the main entrance, and another upon the outer wall of the vault. Other gongs within the vault complete the arrangement for the reception of any unwelcome visitors. The system was installed by Arthur J. Kercher of Minneapolis, who came west for that purpose. The alarm is now being exhibited to patrons of the bank and other visitors.

He reflected that he had never committed as overt act in his life, and that it was too late in the day to begin killing people by running over them with this new-fangled machine. The day following he drove the machine out of the garage to the street, and back again, several times, when, as he concluded he had about mastered it, it shot across the street, as if it had been fired out of a gun. Mr. Hunter thought it was about time to dispose of it, and he offered it to its former owner for $200. The offer was refused, and the next day the machine was traded for a city lot.
