E. Boadway, general manager of the corporation, stated today.

For eome time the company has been looking for an opening in Hollywood, where a first class department store, to correspond with the one in Pasadena, could be built, and recently an agreement with Dr. E. O. Palmer was reached whereby a building will be constructed for them on the corner of Hollywood boulevard and Vine street. The structure, Mr.

Boadway declared. will be of the highest type, consisting of four stories and a basement. It is to be occupied entirely by the department store. The Boadway string of stores originated in Pasadena 16 years ago. and since that time has expanded to Long Ilech and San Bernardino.

The Hollywood enterprise is to be of vast importance locally, Mr. Boadway believes, by numerous subscriptions to preferred stock, which will be on sale in this city. Stockholders, the general manager pointed out. have not only the advantage of sharing in the profits, but also receive the regular 5 per cent discount. Differing from other enterprises In opening new places of business the Boadway organization is complete which eliminates the usual expense and loss of time in making up the firln, Mr.

Boadway Mrs. Mary K. Bartlett, widow of the late J. S. Bartlett, another of the pioneer residents of Pasadena, passed awav this morning at her home, 159 South Euclid avenue, at the age of 96 years.

These political managers sweep themselves into the conference in overwhelming numbers by simple proclamation, and those fortunate enough to have been members of some unheard-of republican club last January may also send delegates.
