Does anyone know what the round object (sign?) near the window is? -also Puritan Hams and Bacon.



Can anyone figure out the sign partially obscured by the utility pole? -it says....something ELLAS, and maybe parking in rear.

Good eye to recognize the old City Garden building, e_r!

The 1923 LA City Directory lists William Wittefelt & Co, Harness Maker, at 786 S. San Pedro.

The top partially obscured sign may say "Umbrellas" and something about "Be Covered," but that's just a guess.
The other sign probably says "Entrance in the Rear."

I think the round sign shows the house address, 784. On the map the house is on the east side of San Pedro Street,
opposite where 8th Street jogs (the house has a pink front and a yellow back):
