Jan. 15 -16, 1916

 Sat. Jan. 15, 1916

Cloudy and fairly warm.

Anaheim Cash Market in 1915 (possibly where my Grandpa bought his meat)

Pa and I drove downtown about 10 A.M. and got some groceries and meat. He also asked Mr. McCord of the bank and Mr. Wallace (City Clerk) if they knew of any jobs for him. Mr. McCord said Anaheim Packing and Provision Co. wanted a man in the office so he is going to look into it. 

Grandpa and Ethel came down this A.M. They said that Al is going to put up a fine grocery delicatessen and meat store on his land opposite Ethel's place and was going into business there. In the afternoon we drove to Santa Ana, Orange and Olive, then Grandpa and Ethel took the train back.

We drove downtown and saw Mr. Root and he had a man from Minneapolis visiting them and who worked in the Chamber of Commerce there. He and Pa did not know each other, but had seen each other in Minneapolis.

In the eve it sprinkled a little. Pa walked down to the library and back and then to bed.

Sun. Jan. 16, 1916

Warm but Cloudy.

Well we are launched in California without a cent of money until we sell our Minneapolis property. We are very lucky though, in having a place her to stay and the use of a fine auto.

I am very fond of non-fiction books on poultry, citrus orcharding or farming of any kind, also books on stenography, sociology etc, eugenics, and biographies of noted men. While at Hollywood I read a good book on Pres. Wilson's life and one that gave a true light on Pres. Lincoln's life and also look over books on the subjects listed above.

Began to rain about 10:30 so I put the curtains up on the auto and we went to the Christian Science church here. Bought a "Times" on the way home and read that the rest of the day. Rained steady and very hard at times all day.
