IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... February, 1880 The gathering of brave women and fair men at the Leap Year Ball on Tuesday night was a feature complement to the young ladies who so manfully worked to make it a success. The novelty of the affair and the energy and tact of the management succeeded in filling the hall notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather. The men braved the terrors of the rain, bade defiance to the blasts of wind, and affected an indifference to the slush and arrived at the hall under the protecting aegis of their stalwart escorts with toilet little disarranged. We may say, with strict adherence to truth, that no ball has ever given such general and genuine pleasure to the participants, and if as rumored, the ladies calculate giving a calico ball in May, next, it is because the gentlemen have graciously acknowledged the superiority of their fair friends in the management of such affairs, and solicited them to assume the direction of the next terpischorean gathering. The managers were Miss Nellie Kuchel, Miss Ella Mitchell, Miss Clemmie Schmidt, Miss Etta Bremmerman and Miss Libbie Yocum. The festivities did not cease until four o'clock Wednesday morning, at which hour a torrent of rain obligingly fell to make the promenade home more interesting and refreshing. The dance program was as follows: Grand march, Spanish waltz, Lancers quadrille, polka, schottische waltz, esmeralda, polka quadrille, gentlemen's waltz, medley. Mr. B. F. Selbert has added a department of business to the Bank of Anaheim which will prove of decided convenience to the public.

Mrs. Ellen Browning receives a letter last week conveying... Only Car at its Price*... So Smart Whatever you want most in a car— Chief, shown here Whatever you want most in a car—beauty, size or performance—you get it in extra measure in a Pontiac. In fact, when you choose Pontiac the decision comes very easily — because Pontiac alone, at its price, gives you everything! For example, take Pontiac's distinctive smartness. Certainly there is no question on this point. Pontiac is the one car that stands apart from all the others. If it's size and big-car sure-footedness you want—Pontiac's your car!

That means Chief, shown here, and 122 inches in the 860 and 870 series—is the plus wheelbase that provides the roominess, the comfort, the satisfying road-hugging security that only a big car can give.
