The wholesale market shows a higher level with 33 price advances and 25 declines this week.

Half the sum will fund the All Year club advertising Southern California as a vacation land and season destination, while $425,000 goes to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for general development and industrial expansion. The plan follows careful research by bank officials and the Southern California Forward Movement committee to counter a lingering negative national image from 1924.

It recalls 1918 when the public supported the effort and asks to increase pledges from five to twenty million, insisting the income must be ample to aid the needy.

The piece argues Coolidge remains consistent in maintaining high sugar duties, contradicting a tariff commission recommendation to cut about 30 percent.
