"Peerless Laundry, Los Angeles California"

Excellent deduction on the Palomar/Nick Stuart date Hoss!

and thanks for newspaper clipping t2. I appreciate it.

Seems like a lot of changes, but could this building have been extended eastward, cut northward, and cut down in height over the years? This is what is now at the SEC of 58th & Main—5800 S Main being an address associated with Peerless in some news items:




A later address associated with Peerless is 5862 S. Main. A BP from Jan 20, 1932, for this address describes a 132' water tower being built there—across Slauson from 5800, at the SEC of Main. This seems to have been demo'ed in 1968-9.
