Now San Pedro is a thriving corner of the big town and an exceptionally which constituted a fellly Impediment in one direction will be filling up a swampy impediment in another, and the easy grade will be established from Harbor Boulevard back to Center street along all those other cross streets from Fourth street north to O'Farrell street.

As citirens of Los Angeles and partiqipants in the benefits of the future of that harbor let us, however, now and for all time disabuse our minds of that fatal fallacy of ourthe idea that we already have a wonderful harbor. We have not. We hava the physical position on the map close to the canal; we have a breakwater, some docks, a few warehouses and some rail facilities; we have great space and all the.

possibilities of a marvelous and a. safe harbor. Are we content to rest with these undeveloped possibilities? PCI r1 1 pi foreign shippers are not looking for possibilities; they are looking for docks where they can berth immediately; for warehouses that can shelter their freight from the nPHE secret of home beauty A does not lie in how much money you spend but how well you spend it. And while better homes the world over are built of Brick the "Ideal" Brick Hollow Wall has so cut the cost and added advantages that these comforts are well within the reach of all. weather at once, and for rail connections that can distribute that freight promptly.

We can have these things. They will come in spite of us. They are coming, but Beacon street, the main business street of San Pedro, will be level from Blxth street to Us very northern end. Business can follow business murt follow business will follow. With the completion of this Job: with the streets cut through to Barton Hill (that residence district west of Harbor Boulevard.) this section of San Pedro will be practically the center of harbor activities, since Harbor Boulevard a stone's throw from the channel and bordered by railroad tracks commands that type of business pertaining to shipping interests.

Fortunately for 6an Pedro (which is naturally doing utmost to encourage Loa Angeles and outside capital) the owners of Harbor Boulevard and Beacon street frontage are of the only fair opinion that to get new interests In Ran Pedro they must make inducements. Practically all of them have expressed themselves as jwilling to make long-term leases at very low rentals. Considerable of this property Is owned by people in a position to build for tenants and they are willing and anxious to start improvements. A JUVS TOVTX Industry is not new to San Pedro. Its business was too diversified to' allow of a general slump even after the war activities of the ship yards stopped.

It is a man's town and always will be. Any concern locating in San Pedro receiving the benefits of the meeting of rails and water, can be assured of a steady supply of workmen-and of comfortable and inexpensive housing quarters for those workmen. We have this to go upon then. (1) Los Angeles cannot afford to neglect Its greatest asset, its harbor. (2) Shipping la increasing In that harbor and will Increase indefinitely as the facilities for handling it are provided.

(3) San Pedro Is getting itself into shape to handle increased business and new industries. (4) Property at decent and fair prices Is awaiting the business man who sees the advantage of the meeting of the rails and the water. (5) Los Angeles with its man-made harbor has an undreamed-of business future. pa ill ii A. we need them now.

What does this mean to Ean Pedro? Modern success In any line depends largely upon elimination of waste; one kind or another. The new docks and the new rail lines will bring the world at large and the country around and back of Los Angeles together In Ban Pedro.

Come up into the hills and open your very soul to the splendid enchantment of this unobstructed view. Los Feliz Heights is distinctive there is nothing just like it anywhere in Los Angeles. This exclusiveness appeals to the home builder who wants something different who wants to get away from the limited horizon of the flat lands. The air itself is different softer, milder, gentleron these upland slopes. Los Feliz Heights is midway in its sales campaign.

A steady consistent gain each year, but nothing phenomenal, until 1922 "Population 722,726 Official figures for the past few years show an increase that has few parallels in history more than 100,000 newcomers in the past year alone And with her increased population have come increased building activities increased property values and increased bank clearings. Today, Los Angeles is perhaps the best advertised city in the world. A great factor both in her growth and in the widely spread, accurate knowledge of her wonderful assets and natural advantages, is the new constructive way, Los Angeles' way of showing and selling real estate. A large percentage of our visitors have heard of the free educational tours and lectures of Southern California's Excursion Subdividers even before they left their homes in the east and count on "seeing" Los Angeles and Southern California in this way.
