A Newspaper Without Circulation The Oran LE VOL. XXI, No. 122 This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Use That its Circulation Equals any of Others Interior Views of S. Q. B S. Q. R. IS ANOTHER REASON YOU WILL SHOP IN ANAHEIM Another reason why Anaheim is the most convenient and attractive shopping district in Orange-co is pictured above in views of the S. Q. R. department store, which will have its 12th anniversary celebration shortly. The store, which gets its name from the initials of the founders—Schumacher, Quarton and Renner—has grown from humble beginning to the present enormous stock, probably as large as any in Orange-co. Quarton withdrew from the firm seven years ago. The store started on the opposite corner, where the Golden State bank is now located, moving into its present location six years ago. The consistent growth of the institution has made necessary repeated expansions. The last was made last summer, totaling 30x35 feet. The growth since then has created the want for still further expansion. At the S. Q. R. store will be found everything in the way of drygoods, men's, women's and children's shoes and custom made clothing, men's and women's furnishing, men's hats, shirts and the like, trunks, suit cases and other luggage, blankets and bedding, and, in fact, everything to be found in a real department store. An idea of the amount of business transacted is obtained from the statement that the store regularly employs a staff of 15 experienced salesmen and women with half a dozen addi- S. Q. R., not handicapped by high rents and other big overhead expenses of the metropolitan stores, offers the local consumer a distinct advantage over the resident of Los Angeles who is compelled to trade in city stores. PETITE MARY MILES MINTER HERE THURSDAY Mary Miles Minier, the petite movie star so well remembered as the sponsor for the big tank which visited Anaheim in the last Liberty Loan campaign, is the attraction at the Fairyland theatre tomorrow evening, in a five-act comedy-drama of mixed laughter, satire and mischief. Tonight at the Fairyland the attraction is William Russell in "Hobbs in a Hurry," Friday, Margarita Fisher in "Fair Enough." FINISH PLANS FOR $60,000 CHURCH The building committee of the Methodist church met Monday evening with the architect, Norman Marsh, of Los Angeles—and looked over the completed plans for the new $60,000 church plant. Blue prints will be in the hands of contractors within a brief time. W. J. Elliott has purchased for $800 the house at the site for the new church, corner Philadelphia and Broadway, and will move it to a vacant lot. EVERYBODYS' GOING Are you going to the big charity? men's, women's and children's shoes and custom made clothing, men's and women's furnishing, men's hats, shirts and the like, trunks, suit cases and other luggage, blankets and bedding, and, in fact, everything to be found in a real department store. An idea of the amount of business transacted is obtained from the statement that the store regularly employs a staff of 15 experienced salesmen and women with half a dozen additional on Saturday. Among these, it is interesting to note, is Arthur McAulay who has been with the store nine year and Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Pritchard, five years. An important feature of the store is the men's furnishings department, which is in a separate store room and has all the advantages of a well stocked, exclusive men's furnishings store. An idea of the quality of the goods handled throughout the store is gained from the statement that Beacon and Walk-Over shoes for men and quality shoes for women are handled exclusively here for the Anaheim territory. The policy of the store, which has played no unimportant part in its steady growth space with the growth of the city and north end of the county, is contained in the one word "Service." For instance, the oilfield worker knows that he can step into the S. Q. R. store and his check will be cheerfully cashed, whether or not he makes a purchase. The S. Q. R. Store prides itself on competing with Los Angeles stores in the way of prices and quality. The EVERYBODYS' GOING Are you going to the big charity ball? It's a long time since Anaheim had a big charity function of this kind and the ticket sale indicates everybody's going to be there. The affair, which occurs Monday evening next, is for the purpose of raising funds for the new electric fire alarm system at St. Catherine's orphanage.

"We want to make the reception a community affair and as big an occasion as possible, and it occurs to me that the proposed auto races would work in fine with it," said Secretary Whitaker. "It was suggested that a grand stand could be erected in front of the high school and the course be over East Center and Broadway. GOOD PROGRAM Mrs. E. B.

GO AFTER BUSINESS Snyder & Tompkins, who have just purchased the Anaheim agency for the Gates Half-Sole tire, are going right after the business. They are very enthusiastic over the Gates and believe that the half-sole will become increasingly popular in this district. The tire men advance as arguments for the Gates that it is guaranteed puncture-proof and yet costs only one half as much; that it gives 20 pct. oversize.

BOARD MEETS The Sunday School Executive of the Presbyterian church will be held this evening at 6 o'clock in the Sunday School room of the church, Misses Anita Herzler and Emily City Overlooking Chance For Growth In Lack Of Houses Anaheim could enjoy a much faster growth in population if houses were available, H. P. Tobin, really operator, told Board of Trade members Monday evening. "There are from one to a dozen people in my office every day looking for houses, but they are not to be had," said Tobin. "What we need is an awakening to our opportunities. Houses are being put up at other places where there is not the demand for them nor the capital. "There is a lot of money in Anaheim that could be put very profitably, both from the standpoint of the city's welfare and the financial return to the builder. In houses to be rented or to be sold on easy payment plans." Could Increase Population "I am confident that Anaheim's population could be increased by several hundred families within a comparatively brief time, if something were done to provide the houses." Fifteen families from Taft landed in town the other day, the heads of the families to be employed on the new oilfield developments occasioned by the Chapman gusher. Every one of them was in my office looking for anything at all available in the way of a house. One woman agreed to take my garage if I would fix it up a little. I don't believe more than two of them." The hardware men were unanimous that the hardware business is picking up most satisfactorily. S. S. BOARD MEETS The Sunday School Executive of the Presbyterian church will be held this evening at 6 o'clock in the Sunday School room of the church, Misses Anita Herzler and Emily Hatch acting as hostesses.

P. depot has been taken town and placed in moth balls for the summer season. City Looses $1300 Monthly Each one of these families would mean that at least $100 put into channels of local trade monthly. By not having the houses, the town loses about $1300 monthly. That is going to be repeated time and again with the continued expansion of the oilfields. The oilmen generally would prefer to reside in Anaheim if they could find homes. A. Bayliss contributed the statement that recently a family of 16 arrived from British Columbia, intent on making Anaheim their home, but moved to Los Angeles when the housing situation was investigated. Tobin says he has been able to dispose of every house he could lay his hands on at fair profit thru time payments. Let the New York Life Insurance Co. protect your loved ones. See J.
