FORMAL OPENING OF NEW STORE FRIDAY The beautiful new home of the Stroup-Barnes Furniture Co., will be formally opened to the public from 2 to 10 p.m. Friday, with flowers for the ladies, orchestra music and other features appropriate to the occasion. The new store at 221-223 E. Center-st, in the new Arnold Kraemer-bidg., is not only the most beautiful but the largest furniture store in Orange-co and a business institution of which Anaheim may well be proud. It has been planned and finished with the needs of an up-to-date furniture store in view. The main floor now contains the most complete and varied display of the latest designs in the furniture makers' craft with beautiful specimens of mahogany floor clocks; rich poly-chrome brocaded upholsterings; and all the many other beautiful things that go into the most modern home. In the rear of the main display floor is an attractively finished office while at the side is an electric elevator to the mezzanine and second floors. On the mezzanine floor is a complete line of the very popular fibre grass and reed furniture. This furniture now comes not only in approved taste for the porch and breakfast room but is also appealing to the housewife for the living room because of its comfort. On the third floor which is 90x90 feet is a mammoth stock of rugs, bedroom furniture, ranges, furniture for breakfast room and everything else that goes to make a complete furniture stock. The great display of rugs is conveniently hung so that they may be quietly inspected under the best lighting arrangements. Another most interesting furniture are the movable partitions by which a room can be set aside to show how a bedroom suite, breakfast furniture or modern kitchen will look. These rooms can be made the same size as the one more owner intends to furnish, so that an exact idea of how everything will look can be had before the furniture is purchased. The lighting arrangements thruout Plain Dealer Gets Thanks for Support A. E. Hargrove, secretary of the Anaheim Realty Board, today thanked the Plain Dealer for support given in the entertainment of the state realtors by the local board, and also issued an appreciation to the ladder who assisted in the luncheon. Mr. Hargrove's communication is as follows: / The co-operation, support and publicity you have given to the Complimentary Luncheon tendered by this board to more than four hundred visitors from the length and breadth of the great State of California, has been very highly appreciated by the local realtors. It simply shows us you are for Anaheim, first, last and always, and Noah Webster failed to coin words that would adequately think you for this wholesome community support.. However, you know that we do thank you. In this connection, not through any negligence on your part, we have failed to extend to our ladies, the measure of appreciation justly due them. To Mesdames Harry E. Scott, Alva E. Hargrove, and B. H. Sidnam, who were a committee on arrangement and reception, and who were so ably assisted by Mesdames E. C. Lieb, Newman H. Sanford, Joe Wagner, Forrest F. Fowler, W. J. Jewell, Jay C. Idlor, G. M. Simpson, J. S. Howard, and Miss Hannah Horwitz, we are unabol again to find words to sufficiently express our appreciation. The dining room, tables, stage reception room, and everything was a dream of loveliness and created an impression upon our guests so profound that the memory of December 5, 1922, at Anaheim, will live long in their minds. Some of us were fortunate enough to attend the convention sessions at Santa Ana after the luncheon held here, and we fully appreciate the hearty applause and votes of thanks by standing salutes, and in every conceivable way recognizing and thanking the Anaheim Realty board for what had been done. If you can think of anything else we can say that will better express... The great display of rugs is conveniently hung so that they may be neatly inspected under the best lighting arrangements. Another most interesting furniture are the movable partitions by which a room can be set aside to show how a bedroom suite, breakfast furniture or modern kitchen will look. These rooms can be made the same size as the one some owner intends to furnish, so that an exact idea of how everything will look can be had before the furniture is purchased. The lighting arrangements throut the store are most excellent. Not only are there large windows at both the front and rear, but there is a lavish disposal of electric lights so that all three floors really make three great displays of furniture for the passerby in the evening. Stroup-Barnes have already noted a great impetus to their business since moving into their new home. In fact, they have been so busy attending to the desires of patrons that the enormous task of arranging the stock in their new store has necessarily been done in the evening hours. However, they expect to be all ready for their friends at the formal showing Friday afternoon and evening. SHEEP CAN LIVE 280 DAYS ON PEAR DIET JOHANNESBURG, S. A., Dec. 13. Experiments on the government agricultural farm at Grooffontein proved that a sheep can exist for 280 days solely on a diet of prickley pears and, if a little lucerne plant is added for 500 days without a drop of water, that beats the camel.

Efker 139 No. Los Angeles St. Formerly Stroup-Ba "MAD MONK" ILIADOR COMING TO AMERICA WORK 18 HOURS TO FINISH CONTRACT One of the most exacting cement contracting jobs done in Anaheim in some time was completed early this morning when Wm. N. Polston, well known cement contractor, finished pouring concrete for the big, new vault at the Anaheim National bank. It was necessary to pour the job all at once. When the work started at 7:30 a.m. yesterday it was not stopped until completed at 2 a.m. today. Two crews of 12 men each did the work with great enthusiasm, Mr. Polston remaining on the job throughout the entire time. The work was made more difficult because there was not room for scaffold and runaway and all the concrete had to be handled by buckets and windlass. U. S. Amack, building contractor, set the forms which must remain on 14 days. The walls and ceiling are 12 inches thick, heavily reinforced, and the foundation is two feet thick. The vault is 15x19 feet and nine feet from floor to ceiling. The mixer was started early yesterday morning and didn't miss a stroke until stopped for a brief time late in the afternoon to oil up. Mr. Polston reports the demand for cement work the biggest he has ever seen here and he is compelled to turn away jobs because he can't hope to get to them within reasonable time. Today he submitted a bid for the work in the new 20-acre Beverly tract which had 8000 running feet of sidewalks and curbs. Trees are being cut out for street this week. 26 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported week ending Dec. 9, show 26 new wells started, compared with 33 previous week.
