Watts was first known as the place where you could buy town lots on the hitherto unheard of terms of $1 down and $1 a week, The public made fun of that proposition at first, when the lots were all sold, those clever comedians, Kolb and Dill, rendered the name "Watts" again famous by introducing it into one of their most popular and successful stage productions. It was not pleasant to our people of Watts to be thus ridiculed, but it caused people to talk about Watts; it advertised Watts; and it aroused the spirit of the residents of Watts.
