50 Years Ago Dec. 29, 1887 The most important move on the cheeker board of Anaheim's future prosperity was consummated last Saturday by formation of the incorporation of the Pomona, Olinda and Anaheim Railroad company. This has been talked of for some time past, but in the minds of a great many of our citizens it was considered as mere vapid talk. However, thanks to a few of our most public spirited citizens, the "consummation devoutly to be wished" has actually taken place, and we are now assured of Anaheim being a railroad center through which the whistle of the locomotive will be heard as it speeds on its way over three different lines of roads. The following named gentlemen were elected as a board of directors for the first year: Edward Records, Sheldon Littlefield, Henry Kroeger, Louis Schorn, A. Goldthwaite, Theo Rimpau and Adolph Rimpau. The new town of Carlton is coming into prominence, and as a result of the push and energy of the projectors of the place a motor road from that town to Anaheim is one of the enterprises which are to be commenced soon. Necessary equipment will be on the ground this week, and the work will be pushed with all possible speed. The merchants of Anaheim have all done a good business throughout the holidays, which speaks volumes for the contentment and prosperity of the people generally. It was a common sight to see mothers and fathers with bundles under their arms and smiles on their faces, wending their way to their respective homes, preparatory to arranging for the Christmas tree. The children were likewise happy. Sheldon Littlefield has the thanks of the Gazette for the presentation of a map of Anaheim. The map contains illustrations of prominent buildings in Anaheim, and is a very effectual advertisement for this place. Street grading is being vigorously pushed in Anaheim and may the good work continue until every street within the town is in shipshape style. Anaheim can stand improvement on her sidewalks, and at the present rate of progress, we prophesy it is a question of but a short time until we have them in shape again. Messrs. B. F. Porter and H. L. Patty are superintending the street grading. 25 Years Ago Dec. 26, 1912 That Anaheim merchants are strictly up-to-date when it comes to the display of their wares was conclusively shown here this holi- Wm.

Necessary equipment will be on the ground this week, and the work will be pushed with all possible speed. As Edwin Clark, a teacher in Anaheim public school, accompanied by his father of Pomona, was riding in a livery rig in the neighborhood of Almond Station, about five miles from Anaheim, Mr. Clark senior, met with a very painful accident. As they were proceeding along the highway the horse shied to one side, and by so doing broke the harness, rendering the animal unmanageable. The horse, started at a breakneck speed, kicking as he went, and Mr. Clark was unfortunate enough to receive a kick in his jaw, shattering the bone and producing a very painful wound. Mr. Frank Ey, who has been in business in Anaheim for 13 years, has sold out to Mr. Groat. Mr. Ey has been a valuable citizen of Anaheim and we hope he will remain here and continue as such. The machinery for Conrad's brewery arrived here on Monday. Lieutenant Lewis has been for the past few days the unhappy possessor of a disfigurement on his upper lip. The brave comrade looks as if he had been "called out" and got wounded. P. Davis & Bros. will soon build an addition to their store in Anaheim. The enlarged part will be of brick and will be a decided improvement in the town. A capacious hall will be made out of the upper story. At the regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. and A. M., held December 26, 1887, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Phillip Davis, W. M.; William Crowther, S. W.; V. R. Cayee, J. W.; W. M. Higgins, treasurer; J. S. Gardinis, secretary. That Anaheim merchants are strictly up-to-date when it comes to the display of their wares was conclusively shown here this holiday shopping season, when the best lines of merchandise ever on display here were shown in the show windows and on the sales counters of the local stores. Along the lines of toys and Christmas tree decoration, many of the windows occupied places of front rank. Mr. Servatius 5, 10 to 35 cent store did itself proud in the matter of toys which delight the hearts of little ones. Weber's Book and Music store also boasted an excellent display of toys and Christmas tree decorations, besides a full line of post cards, musical instruments and art goods. Joseph Holmzen had a good display of toys, candies, art goods, etc. The S. Q.-R. Store besides a display of toys, had full lines of other goods, such as wearing apparel for men, women and children, including furs, siloes, ties, hats, suits and many other articles tastefully arranged in their show windows. In the line of jewelry Alex H. Witman showed a complete line of cut glass, silver and jewelry. B. Hartfield was also right up to date with a complete line of jewellery, while Theo Roberts kept up his usual reputation for having a complete stock of silver and glassware as well as watches, rings and diamonds. A Naman, in his store next to the postoffice, also had a complete stock of jewelry on display. F. A. Yungbluth was "right there" with a fine display of gent's furnishings, including hats, ties, handkerchiefs, suits, with special emphasis upon the large and complete line of bath robes. Across the street, Louis Z. Kroeger also showed a complete line of men's and boys' suits, hats and overcoats. $955 STATE TAX EXTRA IS ALL YOU PAY FOR A BIG 117-INCH WHEELBASE—95 H.P.

The Fischer Wine company had its windows a few Christmas suggestions in the way of fancy fitted goods. The bakeries were not behind the procession at all, and the windows of the Boston City, Anaheim and Jensen's bakeries were viewed. License Renewal To Start Jan. 3 Wait until you receive your postcard notification from the Department of Motor Vehicles before sending in your license renewal application. This was the advice given by Howard E. Deems, registrar of vehicles. "A number of people already have sent in their renewal applications but in the vast majority of instances they have sent checks or money orders for the wrong amounts, Deems said. "Hence these applications must be returned and the entire process gone through again." "The postcard notifications for all pleasure car owners will be mailed out two days after Christmas with the renewal period scheduled to start January 3. "New licenses for 1938 will be issued between January 3 and February 4, inclusive. Penalties for non-payment become effective after February 4. sure of getting a square deal and the best goods for the least money to be had anywhere. Remember that money spent here will stay here.

Falkenstein, worshipful master; Chas. Eygabroad, senior warden; M. W. Martenet, junior warden; Wm. Chamber, secretary; Chas. A. Boege, treasurer. Mr. Chambers succeeds Joseph Helms as secretary.

SCHU New Record Is Set As Southland Tourists Near Two Million Mark All previous records in southern California's tourist business were broken when the All-Year club revealed this week that visitors during the 1937 travel year numbered 1,741,603 and their expenditures while here $216,713,817. "These figures, the result of careful All-Year club surveys, represent an increase of 14.7 per cent over our tourist business in 1936, the former all-time peak," stated H. D. Ivey, vice-president of the community's non-profit tourist promotion organization. "Had these visitors been here at one time, southern California could have pointed to a tourist city the size of Los Angeles, Pasadena and Long Beach combined," he declared. "This is added proof of the soundness of the sustained expert advertising campaign the All-Year club has maintained for 16 years," Ivey added. Sources of visitors are being checked this year for the first time at the All-Year club's new Tourist Information bureau at 505 W. Sixth street, Los Angeles, and in the past few months visitors have registered there from 47 states, 41 foreign countries and Canadian provinces and 91 foreign cities. The All-Year club leader declared the survey was conducted with methods proven in 10 years of active research. Confidential traffic reports were obtained from all public carriers and added to the count of automobile arrivals at the border. All returning Californians, local traffic from border states, migrating agricultural workers and commercial travel were deducted from the grand total to obtain the actual tourist count. Improved lighting on 31 miles of Detroit streets has reduced the number of fatal traffic accidents to only five night fatalities and four day fatalities in the four to eight months that the system has been operating. Rooms of glass are planned for the model homes area at San Francisco's 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition.
