Pears, prunes, almonds, walnuts, have each had their day, or their special boom.

Pomona is headquarters for the olive industry.

Nursery men there sold over 500,000 trees last year.
The tree does not require the richest soil.Hon.Elwood Cooper's olive oil is justly famous, but the machinery designed by Mr.Gould makes a much purer oil, pronounced by connoisseurs to be the finest in the world.

The olives are sun-dried; the ponderous rollers and keen knives of the masher mash the fruit, and every after-process is the perfection of cleanliness and skill.

There is a nutty sweetness about this oil, and a clear amber color, which makes it most desirable for the fastidious invalid.
This new process has been purchased by a company who are going to try to give the country what it has never known before--pure olive oil, free from a bit of the stone.
