Harry Stanley, veteran garage-man, after 15 months' absence from the "game" on account of ill-health, has returned to his old stamping-grounds, yesterday purchasing the McMahan garage on N. Lemon-st, where he formerly conducted an extensive garage business.
He announces his policy will be the same as it was when he sold out March 4, last year. He will specialize on the repair of Buick cars and will conduct a day-and-night garage. He will have ready at all times a fully-equipped service car and a tow car which will be available day and night to go anywhere.
After the first of the year, when the display room is available, he will install a most complete line of accessories. He will immediately proceed to get the garage back on the same complete basis as it was while he conducted it.

Incidentally, the wonderful prosperity of Orange-co was a revelation to many of the visiting delegates who came from all over No. Cal., south of the Tehachepi.
President H. H. Godber was warm in his appreciation for the manner in which the convention was handled and expressions were extended to all who had assisted in the arrangements. The general convention committee was called to the platform and given a rousing demonstration. Plaudits were especially warm as Mrs. Harry Jayne, who has been responsible for the feeding of half a thousand hungry delegates twice a day, and as Chairman S. C. Hartranft of the parade committee, stepped to the platform.
Dr S. T. Montgomery, head of the Anti-Saloon League for So. Calif., spoke briefly on the plans for the next year's wet-and-dry fight in Cal. The wets have referendumed the Wright enforcement act, which backs up the 18th amendment in this state the same as the Volstead act does nationally. This makes it necessary to conduct another wet-and-dry campaign in California.
"There were 100,000 good people who registered south of the Tehachepi but did not vote in the last general election. If they had, the enforcement act would have been adopted and Calif. would not have to hang its head in shame," declared the speaker.
"As it is, the 10,000 majority given the measure south of the Tehachepi was overbalanced by the regular 75,000 wet majority always to be expected from San Francisco.
"We have already started our campaign for next year's campaign and we want all Christian people to enlist in the fight."
The last speaker of the evening and the convention, was James Whitcomb Brougher, the popular pastor of Temple Baptist church, of Los Angeles. He described his appearance at the last of the sixty speakers who had addressed the three-day convention as the "snapper on the whip."
His subject was "What's Under Your Hat?" While he had not been in attendance at previous sessions of the convention, he treated his subject from a standpoint similar to that of previous speakers, namely, that education without the Bible is nil.
Thruout his discourse, his well-famed wittelsims were rousingly applauded.
"One hundred years ago it took a year for our forefathers to cross the nation to this coast. Now they can come on a Pullman sleeper in four days and nights. The question is: Do the Pullman sleepers land any better people on this coast than did the ox-carts? If they don't, the only wonderful thing about the Pullman is the sleeper.
"There is something wrong somewhere if I am not here."
Bible is nil.
