Seal Beach in Days Gone By Ins and Local Trades
A retrospective on Seal Beach history highlights residents and businesses from early days. Walter Stortz ran a home insurance operation on Ocean Avenue while a Main Street plumbing shop persisted. Ira E. Patterson, once a contractor, became Patterson's Grocery and Market. Jack Burkhart helped launch Seal Beach's first barber shop in 1916 and later worked at Casey's. Grace Haskell ran a lunch stand opposite the roller coaster in 1917. The Seal Beach Wave began publishing in June 1917 from Bayside Land company offices. The author and Mrs Armstrong settled in the town to publish. In 1921 the printing plant of the Seal Beach Post was acquired and merged with the Wave, with editorial duties shifting to Vernon Armstrong in 1928.
