Your Opportunity MERCHANTS COMMUNITY DAY Hundreds of Courteers Anaheim Personalities Curtis Clayton Horn About the only change in scenery which Curtis C. Horn has seen during his 15 years as a working man are those caused by the alterations of buildings and other surroundings on West Lincoln avenue. Strange as it seem, Horn has been a service station attendant for the past 15 years, but his present station at 1501 Lincoln avenue is only four blocks from that at which he started working. Furthermore, he has been employed by only two stations during that decade and a half. VOLUME LXXI TWO SECTIONS ANAH Many Dollar Day Bargains Offered Here Tomorrow Outstanding Values Available to Thrifty Purchasers in Big Event Shoppers will find Anaheim merchants cooperating with them in the annual spring Dollar Day working man are those caused by the alterations of buildings and other surroundings on West Lincoln avenue. Strange as it seem, Horn has been a service station attendant for the past 15 years, but his present station at 1501 Lincoln avenue is only four blocks from that at which he started working. Furthermore, he has been employed by only two stations during that decade and a half. "Fourteen years in my first place of employment, and then fired," says Horn. He became affiliated with his present station last June. A native of Lewiston, Mich., Horn came with his family to Anaheim in 1923 as a youth of 14 years. His father brought his family to this city because he had a brother living here. Horn completed his schooling at Anaheim union high school and shortly thereafter began working in a service station. He says that coming to Anaheim was the greatest event in his life, being rivalled only by his marriage to Ora B. Schilling here on July 29, 1932. Their daughter, Della Cathryn, was seven years old last Aug. 2. Another set of experiences which Horn remembers vividly concerned automobile accidents in which he was involved. The two crashes happened just two months to the day apart. In the first mishap, the occupants of the other automobile completed disappeared and no trace of them has ever been found. Horn belives the car had been stolen. The second crash was serious enough to disable to other party's car. A member of the Odd Fellows lodge and also a past noble grand of the order, Horn devotes a large share of his spare time to the activities of that fraternity. He is also fond of attending sports events of all kinds and enjoys ice skating and dancing. Horn's hobby, however, is probably one of the most unique in Anaheim. He remembers numbers of all kinds—license numbers, house numbers, telephone numbers and lots of other numbers.
