IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Plies of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May—1879 A large company assembled at the Catholic church on Saturday morning to witness the ceremony of marriage, the contracting parties being Mr. Adolph Rimpau and Miss Natalia Carrillo. The bride looked lovely in a dress of lavender silk, with satin sleeves and trimmings of the same shade. Her head was crowned with magnificent wreath of orange blossoms and pendant was an embroidered tulle veil. The bridesmaids, Miss Claudine Rimpau and Miss Sepulveda were beautifully attired. The former in a white alpaca with elegant laces and jewelry and the latter in a rich cream colored brocaded satin with tulle and blond lace fuschio and overdress. After the ceremony the relatives repaired to the home of the groom's parents and partook of the wedding breakfast, and then the young couple started on their wedding tour, taking with them the best wishes of their numberless friends. Pursuant to call, the electors of Anaheim met on Wednesday night at Mr. Claussen's establishment. Kroeger's hall was in use by the Amateur club. Mr. T. L. Gannon was chosen to preside and Richard Melrose was elected secretary. Nominations for five trustees were declared in order and Messrs. Zeyn, Luedke, Werdler, Korn, F. Backs Leonard, D. E. Miller E.

Dated: May ... 1954 George M. Stephenson 413 W. 7th St., San Pedro, Co Attorney for said Administra The entertainment of the Anaheim Amateur Club on Thursday was witnessed by a fair audience, not as many being present as the merits of the performance deserved. The opening duet by Misses Heiman and Chase was followed by a story read by Mrs. Geo. H. Kellogg, and Miss Alice Chase sang "Tender and True." Rev. Mr. Trew recited "High Tide on The Coast of Lincolnshire." He prefaced his reading with a poem which brought down the house. He said they had just heard "Tender and True," but they were now about to hear something "Tall and Trew." That wasn't bad by any means. Here the programme awoke anticipations of ice cream, but the managers were obliged to announce that as no ice cream could be had that part of the entertainment must needs be dispensed with. An amusing farce, "Area Belle" followed. The cast of characters comprising the following: Miss Katie Bremmermann, Miss Heiman, Mr. F. P. Marsh, Mr. Herman Zeyn, Mr. J. C. des Granges. San Diego city polled 451 votes at the election on Wednesday of which 399 were for the new constitution and 52 against.

Nemetz is repainting his block at the corner of Center and Emily streets. Nemetz will probably raise the price of rent and then Eaton will raise the price of automobiles. Nothing like prosperity. Mrs. Lionel Browning and Miss Grace Houck of Los Angeles visited with friends in town last week. Dick Hetebrink was in town on Saturday delivering his usual grade of excellent butter. Dick claims to make the best brand of butter manufactured in Southern California, and those who have been using it for many years past incline to the opinion that he is about right.

UNION PACIFIC STATION – ANAHEIM Telephone KEystone 5-3519 H. H. Chatham, Agent Who gets the money Standard takes in? Goods and services—from paper clips to professional services—cost us $324,743,000. It was spent with thousands of firms, large and small. Crude oil was a big item. To supplement our own production we bought $135,600,000 worth—an important sum to crude oil producers. Wear and tear, depreciation and upkeep cost $157,834,000. Part of it will replace worn-out facilities, but millions went to workmen, technicians. New construction, such as refinery facilities, to make more and better products, cost $145,000,000. This helped meet builders' payrolls. Exploration to replace oil our customers use is a vital operation. Our stepped-up search for new oil reserves cost $79,000,000 in 1953. Employees' wages for time worked took $163,-947,000 of our income. Another $43,000,000 went for employee benefits for Standard Oilers. Taxes paid by Standard to U.S., states, counties and cities amounted to $106,300,000—enough to buy plenty of fire trucks, schools, bridges. 112,000 shareholders' profits came from what was left. They received about 5½% on each dollar's worth of stock. Total: $86,020,000. Your picture belongs here, too. Because most of the $1,156,757,000 Standard Oil Company of California took in last year ended up with you—the public. Whether one of the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of checks Standard wrote last year was sent to you, or spent with you, or helped make possible better gasoline and oil for your car, you and practically everyone else in the West benefited. Thousands of merchants and professional people in hundreds of towns profited from the pay checks Standard Oilers spent. Our tax payments helped finance schools for your children, parks for vacationers, and bridges for motorists. Carpenters, steelmen, lumberjacks benefited from the facilities we built and the maintenance work we did. It all fits together: 1953 was a good year for Standard because so many of you thought our products well made and worth buying. And by making it a good year for us, you made it a good year for many others. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA 75 years of planning ahead to serve you better
