in Los Angeles. After completing ihc organization of the San 

 Francisco branch, he was called cast to organize the Buffalo, 

 New York branch, .^fter several years there he was transferred 

 to Los .Angeles and has been in charge here ever since. 



Frank A. Vandcrlip, recently elected director of the United 

 States Rubber Co., and former president of the National City 

 bank of New York, who has been in Los Angeles for two weeks, 

 was given a rousing reception by the San Pedro Chamber of 

 Commerce just previous to his departure. Mr. Vanderlip is the 

 owner of the immense Palos Verde ranch, which adjoins San 

 Pedro and spent a quiet vacation at his residence there during 

 his sojourn in Los Angeles. 



In his address Mr. Vanderlip pointed out that all Europe is 

 upset and unable to recover her financial and industrial equil- 

 ibrium, and that the unrest has spread to this country. 



"The solution of our problem of unrest will probably be found," 

 he said, "but it will not be found by the men who are resentful 

 toward capital, and are inclined to do just enough work to 'get 

 by' from day to day. 



"The great idea all must consider is production. The wealth 

 of the world lies in the day's work. Russia didn't think of pro- 

 duction. She divided up whatever there was in sight, and now 

 that it is all gone she is starving." 



Mr. Vanderlip pointed out that this country occupies the happy 

 position of having all raw materials save rubber, and of being 

 able to sell all it can produce. The big thing during the next 

 two years, he thinks, is cooperation, that all may be kept busy at 

 reasonable wages, maintaining production at a high point, in 

 order to supply other countries which are unable to produce what 

 they need because of raw material shortage and lack of credits. 



C. L. Smith, Los Angeles, has been appointed Southern Cal- 

 ifornia distributor of Dural red tubes. E. H. Wilson, president 

 of the Dural Rubber Corp., was in Los .Angeles recently and 

 covered much of the local territory with Mr. Smith.

 field Tire Service Co. for handling the Gates Half Sole Tires
