I see that the Majestic Theater was known as Hamburger's Majestic Theater. (have we discussed this earlier on NLA?) If we have, I certainly don't remember it. (I don't remember alot of things) . |
A mystery location.
The California Shoe Manufacturing Co.....Torrance Calif....RPPC 1915. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/YU4sAE.jpg eBay ..looks brand spanking new! reverse https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/SYbvRG.jpg ...rotated for easier reading. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/kNI7tT.jpg I've had some difficulty locating the address because of the company's, somewhat generic, name. I also need some help with Lillian's last name. Is it Thurston...or Hurston? :shrug: Price: $39.99 . |
I believe it is clearly "Thurston." Or as Sam Spade would say, "Thurthton" (Obligatory noir reference) :)
Cheers, Earl |

:previous: e_r, From what I was able to find, the date is a little confusing. In October 1913, the Torrance factory was still in the planning stages https://i.imgur.com/FphmdNu.png?1 Boot and Shoe Recorder October 29, 1913 http://https://books.google.com/books?id=KWA2AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA4-PA83&lpg=RA4-PA83&dq=california+shoe+manufacturing+torrance+1913&source=bl&ots=wGEZqP9dl-&sig=ACfU3U10B6OR08l8CKBxqc4B2I6BxUaGCw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjW9q3R2d3kAhVCoZ4KHQ8wCoIQ6AEwAXoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=california%20shoe%20manufacturing%20torrance%201913&f=false It seems that by May 1915, the company was offered for sale in a different trade publication. Unfortunately, no specific address. https://i.imgur.com/vTzGdsI.png?2 Hide and Leather May 1, 1915 http://https://books.google.com/books?id=GqE7AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA16-PA17&lpg=RA16-PA17&dq=california+shoe+manufacturing+torrance+1913&source=bl&ots=zhtPGvsBPr&sig=ACfU3U2b_D_scgNIpqrmXhVm-tDDRT2JIw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjW9q3R2d3kAhVCoZ4KHQ8wCoIQ6AEwEHoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=california%20shoe%20manufacturing%20torrance%201913&f=false In July of 1915,the company was involved in a financial lawsuit https://books.google.com/books?id=R2...201915&f=false So perhaps the postcard was written after a change in ownership related to the lawsuit? The building is intriguing to me as I worked in a very similar one in Torrance for years. Torrance was hit pretty hard by the 1933 Long Beach earthquake and this one could have been a casualty. |

The California Shoe Manufacturing Co. is included in this Torrance panorama from 1914. https://i.imgur.com/arJYopl.jpg cdnc.ucr.edu - Los Angeles Herald - 15 August 1914 https://i.imgur.com/DslYSuX.jpg Number 3 in the picture, it was just north of the Union Tool Co. which was located at the NW corner of Western Avenue and Carson Street. Here it is in an ad for the Fuller Shoe Company, the first company in the building. https://i.imgur.com/J2ho6zj.jpg socalarchhistory.blogspot.com This reference in an architecture guide from 2003 gives the address and indicates it was still standing though converted around that time. It appears to have gone in the meantime. https://i.imgur.com/SK92grR.jpg Google Books - An Arch Guidebook to Los Angeles |
Thanks, Earl..Bristolian..and Noir Noir, for your follow-ups on the California Shoe Manufacturing Co. I really appreciate it.
Despite being wholly utilitarian, the building has a certain charm to it. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/YU4sAE.jpg I also like how the building appears to be sitting in the middle of nowhere. Quote:

As far as I can see there aren't any clues available to figure out the location (or the people) in this rppc postmarked Los Angeles. [August 21, 1905]
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/mPjmXI.jpg eBay It appears to show the man of the house (or hotel?) posing with the hired help. Here's the reverse with the Los Angeles postmark. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/QFxwxx.jpg ............................:previous: Hey! ..maybe there is a clue. p.s. The more I think about it..this is part of the Michigan address. I got all excited for nuttin'. :( . |
For the fine dining tonight of Noirishers whose time machines are in good working order, our select panel of gastronomic critics suggests that you set your time travel to 1921-1928 so that you can enjoy the ambiance of the Turkish Village, at 221 1/2 W. 4th St.
https://i.postimg.cc/ryZYmL59/Turk-Vil1001.jpg First mention in the Los Angeles Times, as far as I can tell, is in the course of a story about a "Pageant Fete" in which "Lucile Joy of the Turkish Village" has a booth (October 21, 1921). Do remember Miss Joy . . . This mention is followed, over the years, by . . . (All below are Los Angeles Times, dates as indicated, via ProQuest via CSULB Library.) https://i.postimg.cc/cLPv46JN/Turk-Vil2-12-13-1921.jpg 12/13/1921 https://i.postimg.cc/tJRTmxBF/Turk-Vil3-6-12-1922.jpg 6/12/1922 https://i.postimg.cc/9f3fHSxm/Turk-Vil3-5-4-4-1924.jpg 4/4/1924 https://i.postimg.cc/gjBYSBXP/Turk-Vil4-8-3-1924.jpg 8/3/1924 https://i.postimg.cc/gJgdjBK6/Turk-Vil5-9-7-1924.jpg 9/2/1924 https://i.postimg.cc/kMhqdz40/Turk-Vil6-12-21-1924.jpg 12/21/1924 https://i.postimg.cc/kX69MsRB/Turk-Vil7-10-31-1928.jpg 10/31/1928 Bon appetit! |

https://i.postimg.cc/7L5dHQkX/Torrance-Sanborn.jpg (Off Topic); I went to the opening of the "1919" exhibit at The Huntington" this evening(free food's always a draw with me). The Huntington is celebrating it's centennial, so they put up this exhibit. It was pretty crowded and Madame and I forgot our reading glasses, so we'll return to get a better look. It's something I'd take a look-see if you're a local. |
Apologies if this has been covered but Photobucket has instituted new pricing policies, if you are on the $1.99/mo plan (as I am) and exceed a storage limit they will ask you to delete images or they will start blurring your existing pictures....I have gone through some random thread pages and found the blurring....an upgrade to their $4.99 mo. plan gives you 25 GB of storage or 2,500 images, that's a lot of space and I think the price is fair....but there are those no longer active on the board or unwilling to upgrade so it is going to hollow out the thread somewhat.

This is exactly what we used to say about "Free" Photobucket. They never talked about charging for the sin of third party hosting until you were into them for ten years and many hundreds of photos. Then they drop a hammer and announce ''new conditions" As they say on the street, you've in for a bumpy ride with PB. I'm concerned when any hosting site says they're free. Is this a lure to hook you?. |
