J. EFKER DUNTON BREAKING ALL SALES RECORDS E. M. Fillmore, Ford distributor at Santa Barbara and his shop foreman, R. N. Allen, spent yesterday afternoon at the George Dunton agency to obtain ideas on how things are done at the largest garage in Orange-co. E. L. Graves, manager of the Ford Motor Co., of Los Angeles, was also visitor. Dunton is breaking all records for new car sales this month. Up to last night, he had delivered 27 new cars and taken orders for 51. He has sold 14 used cars, making a total of 51 deliveries. His previous high record for new cars delivered is 39, which has occurred in two months. He expects to break this record before September closes. The end of the week will see him cleaned out of all models, he believes, as he now has on hand but one sedan, one runabout, one truck, and a handful of tourings. He has been out of coupes for several days. Prospects of obtaining more cars soon are dubious because of the increased demand in So. Cal., since the price cut. Roy McDonald is representing Dunton in the Ford and Fordson exhibit at the Huntington Beach fair. More than 14,000,000 electric light bulbs were made last year in Japan, a record number. A can opener has been invented that turns back the edges of the tin smoothly as it is cut. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads.

WESTMINSTER QUITS DRILLING AT 4438 Westminster-Garden Grove After drilling to 4438 feet and not finding any indications of oil inside from a showing of brown shale, the well did not warrant going any deeper. The Westminster Oil Co. has suspended operations for the time being. Outside capital may be interested to drill a couple hundred feet deeper and test out the brown shale showing that occurred at 4428. The Westminster Oil Company is a close corporation and gave its backers a good run for their money under the personal direction of Charles Baynam of Claremont. Whether or not the Westminster Oil Co. will do any more development work is a question. The Standard Oil Co. pulled out of a bad fishing job at Garden Grove and drilling is now going ahead at 3235. As yet the Garden Grove well has shown no encouragement. BARDEEN WILL GO DEEPER AT PUENTE Puente Hills The Bardeen Oil Co. decided early last week to go deeper on its Puente Hills well and actual drilling is now at 2250. The oil sand struck at 2221 continues and carries oil in Increasing quantities. The Chino Corona-United Oil Co. is now at a point where finances must be available or the well that is about to come into production will be lost. Drilled to 3678 feet the well has pumped considerable oil and gives evidence of being a commercial producer. The company lack the money to complete the well and bring it in properly. Here is an excellent chance for some one to take over the holdings and realize production almost at once.

The oil commenced showing at 2710 as a chloroform color, now it comes up in the baller and needs no testing to show its presence. The Mahalais well financed and is in a position to bring the well in with the best of equipment. The excellent showing of the Mahala's well and the actual production of the Chino Corona-United has spurred the Pomona Oil Company to action and drilling was resumed late last week at 2865. Drilling is now at 2965 and in sandy brown shale. The Pomona Oil Co. reported showings prior to shutting down some three months ago. The St. Helens Petroleum Co. set a string of 151-2 at 150 feet on Garnier No. 1. Drilling so far in the Garnier has been rather difficult. Extreme hard formations resulted in the first 100 feet of hole becoming crooked and had to be entirely re-drilled. —Fry Plain Dealer Want Ads.
