Anaheim Is Sure of Industrial Growth City Present Every Advantage Desired for Factories By R. B. YOUNG In considering the future industrial possibilities of Anaheim, I believe it will be well for us to go back a few years and consider for a moment the agency, or agencies, that have contributed to the building of Anaheim as it is today. Our city stands today in a position similar to many other cities scattered throughout the United States, a product of agriculture. Surrounded as we are by a rich agricultural community, it was only natural that the city should grow and progress as the rural communities developed. The influx of ranchers, the increased production of agricultural products, gradually increased the buying power of the rural communities necessitating increased sources of supply of the necessities of life which naturally brought about the establishment of additional business places. New business places brought new people to the city, who in turn built new homes and otherwise increased the purchasing power of the city. Just as long as the rural communities enjoyed a healthy growth, the city also enjoyed a healthy growth. If the rural communities could thus develop indefinitely, it would insure a steady growth to the city; but unfortunately the land available for agricultural purposes has been limited thus reducing the inflow of new people to the rural communities, which fact has been a determining factor in the retarded growth of the city. It is simply a case where history is repeating itself as exactly the same conditions have existed throughout the east and middle west for some years. There comes a time in the history of every city which is depending entirely upon the agricultural communities for its development when it reaches a point this line, boost, put our shoulder to the wheel. Do not sit back contentedly and "let George do it." It will take a great deal of work to get the first industry to locate here. The second will come a little easier; and after we have two or three established others will follow. It is the first two or three to which we must turn our attention and get them. We must not let this be only a mere desire, but a real determination that we will change possibilities to reality. In this work every citizen has a part—especially is this due to you. Mr. Property Owner, Payrolls and additional people will increase the value of your property—you should be deeply interested—think it over, then let's go. Efficient Service In Transportation Ready and efficient transportation to all points in Southern California, the principal centers in northern California and various important points in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, British Columbia, Canada and Texas, as well as connection with fast transcontinental railway lines, is afforded through the medium of the railroad lines and bus lines operating out of Anaheim. At present 12 trains and approximately 150 motor buses call each day at Anaheim for passengers bound for every place under the sun. Four trains from Los Angeles to San Diego and four from San Diego to Los Angeles on the Santa Fe line make Anaheim a regular stop on all trips and handle many local passengers. These trains also afford connections at Los Angeles with transcontinental lines running four times a day to Chicago and Denver by various scenic routes. Two trains a day connect Anaheim Union Pacific station with Union Pacific transcontinental lines at Pico, a station near Los Angeles. No local passengers are carried on these trains, but persons traveling to any eastern point on the Union Pacific lines may purchase their tickets from Anaheim. nitely, it would insure a steady growth to the city; but unfortunately the land available for agricultural purposes has been limited thus reducing the inflow of new people to the rural communities, which fact has been a determining factor in the retarded growth of the city. It is simply a case where history is repeating itself as exactly the same conditions have existed throughout the east and middle west for some years. There comes a time in the history of every city which is depending entirely upon the agricultural communities for its development when it reaches a point beyond which it cannot go, and the purchasing power then becomes more or less fixed. When this point is reached, further development of the city must cease for the city has developed to the point necessary to care for the purchasing power of the rural communities and its own. We may call this the "saturation point." A point which I believe was reached in Anaheim about two years ago. Agreeing that this point in the development of Anaheim has been reached, then a change must necessarily take place and we must either go ahead or go backward—we cannot stand still. We must go ahead, progress, and to do this we must bring more people into our city. We must increase our own purchasing power. What have we to offer those whom we would welcome in? Ocean? No. Mountains? No. We have an abundance of the finest climate in the world but this alone will not attract. Today people seeking a place in which to live must have some means of support, some means of making a living. In other words, they can go only to such places as can insure them employment. There is but one way that this can be accomplished, and that is through the establishment of industries, industries that employ and produce payrolls. We have perhaps the best example of what has been done in this line in the progress which has been made in the city of Los Angeles. Only a few years ago Los Angeles was but a tourist town depending largely upon the tourist for its existence. It became apparent that if Los Angeles was to grow and prosper, other means of existence were necessary. Through their Chamber of Commerce industries were brought in until today the annual payroll from industries in the city of Los Angeles alone amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. Can we visualize what a payroll of merely $10,000.00 per week distributed among the citizens of Anaheim would mean to the development of our city? While this is a very small sum, really only a beginning, one can easily see the amount of benefit that would be derived therefrom. I have in mind an industry that would bring to the city in which it locates fifty to seventy-five families. Many workers in addition to these would be required, and the payroll distributed among these workers. The homes necessary to house the new families would be of a wonderful benefit to any locality. Have we any possibilities industrially? merely $10,000.00 per week distributed among the citizens of Anaheim would mean to the development of our city? While this is a very small sum, really only a beginning, one can easily see the amount of benefit that would be derived therefrom. I have in mind an industry that would bring to the city in which it locates fifty to seventy-five families. Many workers in addition to these would be required, and the payroll distributed among these workers. The homes necessary to house the new families would be of a wonderful benefit to any locality. Have we any possibilities industrially? In my opinion, we enjoy an enviable position in industrial possibilities. In fact, I do not believe that any city in California enjoys the possibilities that Anaheim does in this respect. There are certain factors necessary for the necessary for the establishment of an industrial plant in any locality. One of the most important of these factors is cheap land. We have land here available for industrial purposes which is very cheap when compared to other localities. Another factor is a sufficient supply of water. Since the purchase of the wells on the sugar factory property by our city, we have an adequate supply for a city several times our present size. I am told that our trustees are now working with a view in mind of getting a gas and electric power rate that will compare favorably with any other city in the southland. Perhaps one of the greatest factors is transportation. In this we are extremely fortunate, having three transcontinental railroads already running into our city, and the possibility of the Pacific Electric coming here places us in the first rank so far as transportation facilities are concerned. We have everything then that an industrial plant might require—including climate. This being true, there seeming to be no limit to our possibilities. However, to have all of these things will avail us nothing if we do not let the world know that they are here: California has the most wonderful climate in the world, but how many people would be here today if this fact had not been advertised so peoples in other parts could learn of it. Heretofore we in Anaheim have been thinking along agricultural lines but from now on if we are to continue to develop, we must think, talk, and live industrially. Assist our Chamber of Commerce in its work along ANAHEIM GAZETTE crack trains recently put on the eastern run are very popular with tourists. Bus service between Anaheim and every important point in Southern California is provided by two stage lines which operate a continuous daily service with stages leaving on some runs as often as every half hour throughout the day. Approximately 31 busses leave each day for Los Angeles, and as many leave for Santa Ana on the regular Santa Ana-Los Angeles run of the Pickwick stage lines. Through busses to San Diego from Los Angeles pick up passengers at Anaheim station, making nine round trips each day. Six round trip connections are made on the Los Angeles-Murletta Hot Springs line, which also stops at Anaheim, and eight round trip connections are made on the Long Beach-Pomona run, which also takes passengers at the local station. Local Pickwick stages also connect with others from Los Angeles up the San Joaquin valley to Bakersfield, Taft, Gilroy and San Francisco and Vancouver, British Columbia, by way of Portland, San Diego Pickwick stages connect with lines to El Centro, Phoenix and El Paso and Long Beach stages connect with lines to Redondo, Ocean Park and Santa Monica. Twenty-one daily round trip connections between Anaheim and Los Angeles are made on the local run of the Motor Transit line. On week days 10 through busses from Los Angeles to San Diego stop for passengers at Anaheim, and on Sannays 11 San Diego-busses call here. Connection with the Pomona-Long Beach line of the Motor Transit Company is afforded at Whittier, where connections with lines to San Bernardino Home Industry THE ANAHEIM LAUNDRY THIS YEAR— Spent in payroll—over $50,000.00.
