A clipping from the Los Angeles Examiner reprints inflation era ads showing rents such as a four room upper flat at 117 East Ave for 25 dollars a month and a furnished five room flat at 215 S. Vermont for 55 dollars. It notes the cost of housing then versus today, taxes, and building costs, and recalls William Randolph Hearst’s anti British stance and stance on aiding Britain before U.S. entry in World War I.
