OPPORTUNITIES FOR MANUFACTORIES. 



which combines with the favorable position of Petaluma and furnishes an 

 ideal and profitable location for building up and perpetuating various and 

 numerous manufacturing establishments, that plants or parties seeking 

 a new location need only to examine Petaluma's position and claim, and 

 a location and profitable career is almost invariably the result.

PACIFIC GROVE. 



Regarding manufacturing, there is plenty of sand suitable for glass- 

 making in this city and plenty of cheap fuel in the shape of crude petroleum. 

 Manufacturing sites near the Grove can be secured at very reasonable fig- 

 ures. Both rail and water transportation here. 



WALLACE CLARENCE BROWN, 



Secretary Pacific Grove Board of Trade. 



WILLITS, MENDOCINO COUNTY. 



There seems to be a good field here for the establishment of a door 

 and sash factory, coffin boxes and lead pencil material. The redwood com- 

 panies here can supply necessary material. It would be necessary to erect a 

 dry kiln. There are some hard woods about from which furniture might be 

 manufactured. 



CHARLES F. CRAIG. 



Secretary Willits Chamber of Commerce. 



ANAHEIM. 



There is a good opening in Anaheim to manufacture all kinds of fruit 

 preserves, citric acid, etc. A plant for the extraction of oil from the castor 

 beans would also do well, as those beans grow here in great abundance. 



We have also large quantities of oil for fuel within a few miles of the 

 Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Railways, both of which run through this 

 place, and so cheap transportation could be secured.

Secretary Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. 



COLUSA. 



The land around Colusa is well adapted to cultivation of sugar beets 

 and the citizens of Colusa are ready to subscribe $100,000 toward the capi- 

 tal of a sugar beet factory. This is the most important thing in the manu- 

 facturing line that I know of for this locality. 



J. L. SWANK, 



Secretary Colusa Board of Trade. 



ESCONDIDO. 



I think that there is a good opening here for a cannery to handle vege- 

 tables, fruit, etc. There is an abundance of frostless land suitable for garden 

 stuff and plenty of water for irrigating. The cheapest fuel would be crude oil, 

 which is shipped in in tank cars. 



LLOYD STEVENSON. 



Secretary Escondido Chamber of Commerce. 



OROVILLE. 



The principal advantage which Oroville possesses as a site for factories 

 is a close proximity to a great wealth of power. Electrical transmission has 

 solved the problem of making the power of mountain streams available at 

 distant points, but, as is well known, there is a loss in transmission which 

 increases with distance, and the nearer the plant where power is used to the 

 waterfall the more economical the operation. Oroville is the most advanced 

 region in electrical power development. The immense plants of the Cali-
