I Caters to Multitude Hollywood, Cal., July 31, (By Margaret Prince Hubert for ANP)— Mrs. Bertha L. Turner of Pasadena, Cal., formerly of Indianapolis, Indi ana, is considered the leading cater- ' ess not only at Pasadena but of Southern California as well as among our group. About 20 years ago, Mrs. Turner conceved the idea of building up her present business when her husband was dismissed from the employ of an j exclusive catering establishment in Pasadena because white neighbors ob jected to the family occupying a lovely home they had purchased. Mrs. Turner determined to establish a business enterprise of her own which has grown to such propor tions that 50 or 60 persons are em ployed either part time or full time to carry on the work. Her employees include, besides waiters and waitresses, a house keeper, a bookeeper, chauffeur and gardner. She is affectionately called the * Life Saver” among her help, Mrs. Turner is held in the highest esteem by the citizens of Pasadena of both races. She is a member of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. Few people know that she is a silent partner in a prominent dairy and ice cream company of Southern Cali fornia. Among her investments and holdings are a heavy interest in the Pasadena Gas Co., five or six valu able homes and the Raymond Flats in Indianapolis. Two delivery trucks, three cars, a Nash and Packard, among them are kept busy trans porting supplies. During the summer season, Mrs. Turner has charge of the concession at Hollywood Bowl while the famous Symphonies under the stars are be ing conducted^ Despite her busy career, Mrs. Turner has kept her interests in the social and religious world alive, for ■he is a prominent club woman, an active church member and a charm ing hostess as many persons who have enjoyed her hospitality can acknowledge. Many boys and girls have been helped through school and other worthy persons have been assisted in so quiet and unassuming way by her that the world does not know of it. She gives freely and effectively ! where she deems it will do the most good. There is hardly a family in Pasadena but that can not rtcall some k.ndly act of Mrs. Turner at a time when there was distress, or sickness, or bereavement. Truly she has achieved success, for she has “lived well, laughed of ten and loved much.” — Files Suit For Total Of $6,250.00 For Permanent Injury Art Ashby, 1520 North 20th street, filed suit against the Cud ahy Packqing Company for $5, 25000, and against the Traveler’s Insurance Company for $1,000.00.
