In The Days Of Long Ago Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago February 8, 1917 BUSINESSMEN'S LUNCHEON D. Jessurun presided at the businessmen's luncheon on Thursday and introduced S. C. Hartranft of Fullerton as the speaker. Mr. Hartranft has just returned from a seven months' Eastern trip and said in all his travels he failed to see in any town of similar size of Anaheim, a more progressive and wide-awake community than is to be seen here. He noticed a number of improvements and spoke particularly of Broadway, that fine residential thoroughfare which has just been paved. O. H. Barr of Whittier, was introduced. He said there is not in the state a more productive section than is to be found extending from Whittier down through the La Habra valley and this city, and on the foothill above Tustin. The luncheon was served by Herr Huenemeyer of the Anaheim restaurant and everybody commented favorably upon the fine dinner served. There was a bountiful supply of roast chicken, choice vegetables and other edibles, which were discussed with a relish. LARGEST DEAL One of the largest business deals that has taken place in Anaheim for a long time was consumated 50 Years Ago February 4, 1892 BURGLARS HERE Burglaries attempted to break into the residence of C. Pamperl, over his store on Los Angeles street, a few nights ago. They ascended the stairway on the outside of the building and were attempting to effect an entrance into the rear windows when Carl Pamperl, who had been awakened by the noise, fired a shot at them, when they beat a hasty retreat. Saturday night at midnight, the burglars paid Fritz Ruhman's residence another visit, but were frightened away. Later, the same night, burglars effected an entrance into the Boston bakery but were again frightened off before they got anything. Undoubtedly these burglars are residents here. It should not be a very hard matter to get them, but the best way to deal with them is to be prepared for them, and to give them a charge of buckshot when they come. WEATHER SHOWERY During the week the weather has been showery, and up to yesterday morning, precipitation for the storm amounted to 1.24 inches and for the season, 2.53 inches. The indications are that we shall have more of it. The grass is comical and we shall have FIRST PRESBYTERIAN The church celebrates its birthday Sunday with the Rev.

At 6:30 a.m. LARGEST DEAL One of the largest business deals that has taken place in Anaheim for a long time was consumed last week when H. A. Dickel disposed of his mercantile establishment to Messrs. George B. Peck and E. A. Colby. The Dickel store was the pioneer institution of Anaheim and probably of Orange county. It was established in 1858 by A. Langenzerger and Ben Dreyfus. It was located on ground now covered by the Cassou block but the old structure was razed to make room for the modern building. The old Langenberger adobe building which was pounded into dust and hauled away to the dump was the most pretentious building in town in the pioneer days. During the memorable flood of the early sixties it was the only house in town which withstood the strain of the waters. It was perfectly sound when pulled down and capable of withstanding many more years of weather. Mr. Langenberger acquired Mr. Dreyfus' interest in the store in 1873, erected the building at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, where the business is still conducted. Mr. Dickel came to Anaheim in 1885. He entered the Langerberger store as a clerk. In 1895 he purchased the business and has been its sole manager ever since. Mr. Dickel expects to remain in Anaheim. EX-SHERIFF RUDDOCK Ex-Sheriff Charles E. Ruddock died at his home in Fullerton early Friday morning. Mr. Ruddock was born in Shenago, New York., in 1864. He came to Fullerton in 1897 and has taken a prominent part in public matters since his arrival. He leaves a widow, a daughter, Mrs. Wallace Oswald, and a brother, W. C. Ruddock. The funeral was held Monday at the Presbyterian church, C. C. Chapman and Rev. E. J. Statum having charge. The Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows and K.P.'s were present and accompanied the remains to Loma Vista cemetery. ENTERTAINED CLUB Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Holcomb en- ENTERTAINED CLUB Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb entertained the OMB club at the Oyster Loaf cafe Tuesday night. The dinner guests spent the remainder of the evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Sandilands, playing cards. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis were the champions, receiving a cut glass bowl as a prize. MARRIED AT LOS ANGELES Miss Stella Webb, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Webb, was married at Los Angeles, Wednesday, January 31, to Guy Pollard of Brookshurst, Rev. George Haffner performing the ceremony. The young folks will make their home in Brookshurst. 43RD ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Richard Melrose celebrated the 43rd anniversary of their wedding on Sunday. The day was also Mr. Melrose's 67th birthday. It was made the occasion of a happy family reunion, when appropriate gifts were bestowed upon the happy couple and congratulations extended them upon the notable event.

RETIRED FROM BUSINESS A. Langenberger has retired from the business which he has so long conducted in Anaheim, having sold the same to H. A. Dickel. Mr. Langenberger has been continuously engaged in business in Anaheim for the past 34 years and we trust he will live long to reap the reward of his busy career. His successor, Mr. Dickel, is too well-known to need commendation from us. An energetic, upright and live businessman, he deserves the fullest measure of success, and we are certain he will attain it.

Following this policy by shippers, particularly those with the large volume, would have favorably affected the market by materially reducing the number of cars moving into markets unsold and we have resulted in a more orderly distribution than the variation shown by the record have occurred under proration. Valencias Held Back The normal time for closing Valencia saints is November 15. There was ample mand for Valencias at good prices prior that time, but, owing to method of proration this last season, these Valencias, through fault of the producers, were not moved out that time, but were held back and forced to compete with navels.

It will be noted from the above that since November 1, 1941 the Mutual Orange Distributors has shipped only 6.8% of all the oranges which have moved out of California. Shipments of oranges from California between November 1, 1941 and January 24, 1942 inclusive: Valencias ... 3,505.86 cars, or 22% of total No. Navels ... 10,073.31 cars, or 63% So. Navels ... 2,482.74 cars, or 15% Total Shipments: 16,061.91 cars. Who Makes or Breaks the Market It is a recognized fact that in a bear market, that is, a market in which the price is being depressed, those shippers who control the bulk of the movement are in a position to make or break the market. The general market level for California oranges is established by prices made by the auctions. These prices are influenced by the volume of California fruit offered for sale in those auctions. Since November 1, 1941, the M.O.D. has sold only one car of California navels at auction. For further information on this subject and upon the M.O.D. cooperative plan of COORDINATED SALESMANSHIP consult the manager of an M.O.D. affiliated packing association in your region or write to the M.O.D. field department. MUTUAL ORANGE DISTRIBUTORS (A California Cooperative) REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA Mother Colony Named For Pioneer’s Wife, Or Was It For the Santa Ana River? By JUDGE CHARLES KUCHEL A well-known native son of Los Angeles says it is written in the history of early California that when George Hansen, an engineer, came here from San Francisco in 1857 to locate a home for the original pioneers, he named the town “Anaheim,” and his wife’s name being “Anna” and ‘heim’ meaning “home,” hence, “Anna's home.” There are other old timers who say the name of Anaheim is a conjunction of “Ana,” taken from the Santa Ana river, and “heim,” BANK ON YOUR COUNTRY NEW GRANDSON Mr. and Mrs. John McKim are proud of their new grandson, born to Mr. and Mrs. Omar McKim, January 28, at Loma Linda hospital.
