The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.) is the largest fraternal organization in the world. The elk was chose in 1868 because it is distinguished, fleet of foot and timorous of wrongdoing. Our four cardinal principles are Charity, Justice, Fidelity and Brotherly Love. An Elk today is an American gentleman. (Kiss) Livermore, California

Tupperware, Bee Line Fashions, Lingerie, Wigs and now House Plant Parties have become popular. Everyone wants to have a fern in their front room, but more important they want to know how to take care of a plant that costs $20.00. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California
