This change has been announced, to become official on September 1.

Penney's, you think of drift and savings—of wonderful values and of highest quality. And in all our 41 years of serving our customers and our friends, we have never offered a bigger money's worth than the United States War Bonds we are featuring this month. There's nothing better for our money than War Bonds! By Bonds — every dollar's worth you can possibly afford—at Penney's now! By buying Bonds, you'll help put protecting planes over your boy's head in battles — torpedo-proof convoys around the ship in which he sails. You'll help to bring him home again safe and sound. Think of that, next time you stop by the Penney store. Oil for the Fighting Ships ★ Somewhere at sea a tanker lies fueling a destroyer. The long fuel lines that link them swing with the ships as they ride the deep-water swells. Pumps throb in a steady rhythm. Oil pours into the destroyer's bunker fuel tanks. It is oil, quite likely from the fields of Southern California, and pumped perhaps from the depths of the earth by strong, silent electric motors powered by Edison. Electric power helps get the most production out of a well. It is easy on the long sucker rods, it is safe and easy to control. Edison power service and the oil industry are doing a war job together, as they operated together in the days of peace. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY LTD. WASTE IN WAR IS A CRIME...DO NOT WASTE ELECTRICITY JUST BECAUSE IT IS NOT RATIONED 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 July 18, 1918 Just as soon as the legal machinery can get to working steps will be taken by the trustees to put the old city hall in shape for re-occupancy. The Center street frontage at the second story will be made of uniform design. The old clock tower and bay windows will come down, and the walls of the main building will be reinforced with steel rods extending from the north to the south walls. A new roof will be laid, and new plastering will be put on the walls and ceilings. In many ways the old place will be so changed that it will be hardly recognizable. Estimates now in hand for the various improvements planned total $3,000. It is probable that the figures will exceed the sum stipulated as contractors say all building materials will ascend skyward for a period of at least ten years. However, the old city hall as it stands at present is an eyesore, and should be either torn down or repaired. The court's injunction which estopped razing some months ago is still in effect, but the council may wipe off the slate and start over again, if no objecting citizen gets out another injunction against this latest move, which it is hoped will not avail. The body of Judge Frank Shanley who died last Wednesday, lay in state at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Father Dubbel, Mrs. Ray 50 Years Ago JULY 20, 1893 The Bank of Anaheim opened for business at the regular hours Tuesday morning. Cashier Horr met the patrons of the institution with his usual smile, which was one of satisfaction, and his time was taken up in receiving larger deposits and paying out money to those who had been without it for some few days past. The stock of gold in sight was altogether reassuring, and the deposits largely exceeded the withdrawals. Indeed the bank has been receiving deposits for the past few days, and when the doors were open for business was in as sound condition as any banking institution in the county. The bank's securities are all intact. During Mr. James' illness Cashier Horr will have the assistance of the services of Ed Pellegrin. Both gentlemen were on hand yesterday, when the deposits again largely exceeded the withdrawals. The First National Bank of Santa Ana will probably resume business next week. A meeting of the depositors has been held at which it was explained that the comptroller of the currency would require depositors to sign an agreement that they would not withdraw their funds for ninety days, instead of sixty days as had been arranged. The bank is understood to be entirely solvent, there is now $75,000 in cash in the vaults and $5000 in reserve agents hands. The comptroller requires the bank to have $100,000 on hand and the agreement with the depositors, before it would be At he had been in California, accumbed to a lengthy illness yesterday afternoon at his home, North Clementine street.
