which;s beyondthe comprehension of minds not usedto thinking in

tems of millions. One sixth of the world's production of oil comes
from evithin a radius of twelve miles of Whittier!
Not only is Whittier desirable as a home town, but it is gaowiag
rapidly, and we naturally want to be connectedwith a "going" insti-
tution. That Wlittier is growing is proven not only by the census
repods, which show that it has doubledir1population in the past three
years,but by the recold of building permits. 1923set the pacewith
building permits to the amountof more than three millions of dollaN.
