NEVADA CITY-GRASS VALLEY is called the only
‘BRIGHT SPOT in the United States during this dreadful
-depression which has settled upon the world due to econo‘mic conditions.
While this district is NOT IN A POSITION to supply
"WORK for all the UNEMPLOYED who find their way
here, yet there is employment for all our local people who are
cable to work. The wage scale is high, and living conditions
Gdeal which makes for a HAPPY CONTENTED COM‘MUNITY.
AGAIN WE WISH TO STRESS that this district is in no
twise in a position to solve the unemployment problem of
‘California and beg that it be not advertised as such, HOW“EVER, we do feel that Nevada City offers much to those
“who desire ideal ‘conditions to live in. We have many
. mstances of people who have traveled over the state to
-find a suitable location and have found here just what they
were searching for. HEALTHFUL CLIMATIC CONDI
TIONS—P URE WATER SUPPLY—AND_ SCENIC
BEAUTY. Furthermore we have here a friendly little city
abounding in community spirit and civic pride. While many
families date back to pioneer parentage, yet they welcome
the stranger and treat him kindly.
LODGES and CLUBS flourish here. The Elks with their
splendid building and comfortable club room are most genrous in opening their doors for meetings which pertain to
civic or patriotic betterment. The Masons have their own
building where the Blue Lodge, Royal Arch, Knight Templar
and Eastern Star meet. The Odd Fellows have their own
building as do the Improved Order of Redmen. The Knights
of Pythias meet in their own hall. Numerous other orders
hold regular meetings also. The Womens Civic Improvement
Club is a very active organization and has made many
improvements in the community.
NEVADA CITY welcomes among her newcomers, R. J.
Martens. Mr. Martens is a sufferer of sinus and _ throat
trouble. Finding the bay region intolerable tq his condition
he was sent by his physician to Arizona. There his condition
remained the same. Remembering that he had relief from
his trouble on a visit to , this section he returned here and;
secured almost immediate relief from his suffering. He purchased a_ piece of property on Lost Hill. It was just a

PRODUCTION OF MICA
DURING THE YEAR 1930
The total quantity of uncut mica
sola by producers in the United
States in 1930, was 7,465 short
tons, valued dt. $286,407. as repored by the United States Bureau of
Mines, Department of . Commerce.
The Grass Valley Store of J. C.
Penney stood second on the list of
The
Glendale store taking firt place in
the increased sales: percentage. The
Glendale store was moved in June
to a new location on the busiest;}These figures (including sheet and
street and placed in a fine newjserap mica) represent an increase
building. lin quantity of 2.7 per cent and a
decrease of 29.1 per-cent in value,
as compared with 1929. The decline in total value is due partly to
the inclusion in 1930 of a larger
proportion of scrap mica in total
sales than in 1929. Of the total
quantity sold, 733 tons (1,465,485
pounds), valued at $177,307, was
sheet mica, including 1,253,782
pounds of punch mica, valued at
$61,230, and 211,703 pounds o
mica larger than punch, valued at
$116,077. A very small quantity of
uncut domestic splittings was reported by one producer and includjed in the sales of sheet mica. In
addition to sales of sheet mica,
‘there were 6,732 tons of scrap mica
sold in 1930, valued at $109,100.
The sales were. made by eleven
states: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Carolina,
South Dakota, and Virginia.
No small part of the credit of the
increase is due to ‘Manager. Earl
Covey, who made every effort to
please his customers. He has
studied the needs of his buyers as
a doctor diagnoses a case. The result is satisfaction on the part of
the customer who makes Penney’s
his buying cen--.
ter. :
Mueh has been written and said
about chain stores and the lack of
community spirit on the part of the
store managers. This is certainly
not true of Manager Covey. He is
deeply interested in every movement for civic improvement. All his
employees own their homes in Grass
Valley and he wants’ to see the
town grow. He gives generously of
his time to all worthy causes. Also
he is a real Grass Valley booster.
The yesults are that he has made
friends for Earl Covey and customers for J. C. Penney Company.

ed eye saw the fine old timbers the pioneer put into the
building and saw its possibilities. Within two months he
transformed the shack into a comfortable and artistic cottage
and the barren ground surrounding it into a park. The
transformation was Alladinlike so quickly did it take place.
Mr. Martens has been identified with big enterprises in
Caterpillar tractors in MINES and quarries have the same
marvelous’ efficiency and ability to cut costs as they have in
other lines of work.
Road builders, County, State, and Government officials, as
well as farmers use “CATERPILLAR” equipment when ever
they investigate cost, service, etc. Look over any big job where
most of the big centers of the world. His restless energy is
stirring this littlke community to action. Believing in the
community and its future he wants to broadcast it to the
world at large. Again let us repeat, we welcome Mr. and
Mrs. Martens into our midst.
‘We dislike to say, “I TOLD YOU SO”, but feel that we
zeally must. For over a year The Nugget has predicted the
‘boom which has come to Nevada City and urged that the
people of Nevada City prepare for its coming. Like the
foolish virgin, however, Nevada City was caught without her
lamp trimmed and burning. Hundreds of families want to
ive in Nevada City, but can find no home to live in.
DOCTORS in the Bay communities are recommending
this city to their patients who have sinus trouble and there
are thousands suffering from that affliction who would be
glad to go where they may find relief. This section has been
suggested, but their patients cannot find accomodations and
must seek relief elsewhere.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST when the last link of the
“Tahoe-Ukiah highway is completed and the federal highway
thru the Mother Lode is a reality the tourist. trade will be
ancreased ten fold.
