Duperrault told the 1910 census that his profession was home builder and that he owned 434 Lake Ave. In 1916 he built shops at 3909 – 3911 S. Vermont Ave. and 3639 – 3641 S. Vermont Ave. The business address on the permits is 230 S. Soto St. which ran real estate ads in the Herald without addresses.

Because whenever I think of hair styling, the first name that always comes to mind is Redd Foxx....

Zalvidea, Jose Maria (Padre) March 2, 1780, born at Bilbao, Spain; August 31, 1805, arrived in California at San Francisco; February 1, 1806, to August 31, 1806, assigned to Mission San Fernando Rey; December 19, 1806, to January 15, 1827, served at Mission San Gabriel; ca. 1821, noted by eventual centenarian Eulalia Perez at San Gabriel as treating the Indians very well, and much beloved; his enthusiastic efforts at grapevine cultivation at Mission San Gabriel, undertaken without the approval of his superiors, at length brought about his forced transfer to Mission San Juan Capistrano, thus March 4, 1826 (overlaps service at Mission San Gabriel) to November 26, 1842, at Mission San Juan Capistrano; as the years went on, increasingly mystical, and some thought him mad; “There were those who tried to brand him insane, but they had no basis in fact. They were just reacting to the Father’s habit of telling them the bitter truth about their abuses and disorderliness”; end of November?, 1842, to ca. the latter part of June, 1846 (when he died), served at Mission San Luis Rey. By the way, those interested in California history as well as partying might wish to celebrate today September 17 as the (1776) day the San Francisco Presidio was established! |

I was hoping the message would contain some intriguing clues but I see it was the usual generic postcard message. _______________________________________________________________________________________ & I appreciate the information on Zalvidea Street, odinthor. At first I didn't realize you were talking about the street behind N. Lake Street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/BP7PMh.jpg google aerial If the street number for the house, once it became apartments, was 446 1/2 - 448 1/2 (a duplex) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/UVc4rk.jpg 1950 Sanborn Map Why so many garage spaces? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/PO5mr8.jpg gsv https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/NwzMVw.jpg gsv A total of six. (when I started this post I actually thought there were more than that) ________________________________________________________________________ & while I'm thanking people. . :) Thanks for straightening the Duperrault house, Scott Charles. It looks great! . |

...A mystery parade showing a delegation of men wearing white suits and carrying white umbrellas! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/pnBPnv.jpg eBay The contingent makes me thinks of New Orleans or the Caribbean. It's possible the men are of African or African-American descent but it's a bit difficult to tell for sure. the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/SCG9DB.jpg .... "Swobd" :shrug: . |

Swobdi Millinery... https://i.postimg.cc/gJh4FXwm/Swobdi-Her-17-8-29.jpg Los Angeles Herald, 8/29/1917 |

Looks like an early version of the Doo Dah Parade. But seriously, many labor organizations long ago had men in white suits carrying umbrellas in parades as a symbol of labor unity (workers under the umbrella/protection of a union). Here is another example from Indiana in the early 20th century--again men in white suits with umbrellas, in this case a baker's union; click on the photo in the link below and you see the umbrella men in white suits: https://indianaalbum.pastperfectonli...D-933439182128 So, in all likelihood the parade in your photo is some sort of union parade, probably on Labor Day. I don't know what SWOBD means, but maybe it was some sort of millinery union (hatmakers). The word millinery is on the back of the postcard. |

odinthor. . . so 'Swobdi' is the store. I can see it now in the photograph. (that's the reason millinery was written on the back of the pic) :duh I've never heard of Swobdi as a surname. If you search for it on the internet you get zip. (nothing) . |

mystery location. (1965)... Does anyone recognize this beach? It's in the Los Angeles area. :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/WPU6TS.jpg rediscovered in an old file of mine (I hope I haven't posted it some years back) As you can see there's an antique store on the left and a Mobil gas station on the right. UPDATE: I just noticed the answer is right there in the photograph....Does anyone else see it? . . .or have any idea what's going on in the photo? . |

Yep. Good eye, unihikid....lol OK, here's a mystery location that I don't know the answer to. I found it on a website honoring the child actress Lassie Lou. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...922/LXVH4b.jpg "The Helen Holmes Serial (1924)" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Gk0mof.jpg younghollywood As you can see it shows a woman and a child (Helen Holmes? and li'l Lassie Lou) on an old wooden tressle. There is a small settlement on the far side of the bridge. Super-duper LARGE. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/IU8gN7.jpg younghollywood I spy a doggy too. Here are the episodes if anyone wants to check them out. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/iUtpRc.jpg imdb ........................................................................................:lmao: these episodes are actually from an earlier serial, Hazards of Helen....(Lassie Lou wasn't born until 1920) |
Speaking of Miss Swobdi, have we had this structure on NLA before?:

"Perils of Pauline" genre was very common back then. Many imitators. Villains in black suits, top hats twirling their moustashes. Dogs often to the rescue. Rin Tin Tin and later Lassie etc. |
