Historic Business Building Has Change In Ownership Although a change in ownership, the first in almost 70 years, has been effected in the business building at the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets, there is no change in the type of business occupying the building, nor in the business administration of the purchasers, the Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture company. By the business deal recently announced, the Smith Reafsnyder company becomes the owner of the building, purchasing it from the heirs of the late Ferdinand A. Backs, pioneer resident of the city. The company is composed of Charles Smith, his son, Harold Smith of the U. S. Army; Ray Reafsnyder and his brother, Wayne Reafsnyder, of the U. S. Army. The history of the building is interwoven with the history of Anaheim's development. In all the years since its construction 67 years ago it has housed a furniture business. For the first two score years the business was operated by the Backs family, who then disposed of it to Albert Graham. Graham in turn sold to A. J. Riutcel and the late Roy Wethered who operated the furniture store for some eight years. Upon the death of Wethered, his interest was purchased by Charles Smith and the store name was changed to the Riutcel-Smith store. Upon Riuctel's retirement five years ago, his interest was purchased by the Reafsnyder brothers of Garden Grove, and the present firm name adopted. The partnership of four remains unchanged despite the demands of their country upon two members of the firm. Harold Smith radio instructor at M Field, Sacramento.

Clubwomen Enjoy Session With Federation Head Anaheim clubwomen in attendance Friday at Fullerton Ebell club's Reciprocity Day program complimenting Mrs. Earl B. Shoesmith, president of California Federation of Women's Clubs, were enthusiastic about the charm and personality of their state leader, as well as the hospitality of their sister clubwomen. Invitation had been issued to all club presidents of the county, as well as to county, district and state federation officers, to meet Mrs. Shoesmith, in the Southland from her San Leandro home, and take part in the reciprocity event. Those in attendance from this city included Mrs. Leo J. Friis, county chairman of legislation; Mrs. C. E.

After a musical interval featuring a group of solos sung charmingly by Mrs. W. Jackson Scott, Mrs. Shoesmith gave the principal talk of the afternoon, the keynote of which, was willingness to serve. With due recognition of the present era of stress, she dwelt on the manner in which groups and individuals are working together to preserve the ideals of a peaceful democracy. She besought a continuation of this cooperation among all club groups, in the January Enlistees In Navy Include Nine from Anaheim Nine Anaheim youths were included on the list of 51 Orange county 17-year-olds who enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the month of January, according to F.

With due recognition of the present era of stress, she dwelt on the manner in which groups and individuals are working together to preserve the ideals of a peaceful democracy. She besought a continuation of this cooperation among all club groups, in the troublous reconstruction days to follow the close of the war, that they hight not lose sight of the main goal, and might retain quickness of perception as dangereous elements arise to threaten the goal of lasting peace. Arlaheim clubwomen were interested in the cooperative action taken by the Fullerton Ebell in placing its clubhouse at the disposal of the government for the duration, to be used as one of the sorely needed nursery schools. Possession will be given on March 6, after which club sessions will be held in the assembly room of Fullerton City library. Need help, have a room for rent, got anything to sell?
