Highland Park History

 


The clip shows a little advertisement in the 5 January 1907 edition of the Highland Park News-Herald & Journal. Mrs. A.T. Gray and son are advertising their poultry ranch located on Hub Street between Avenues 54 and 56.  A quick look at Google maps (clip below) suggests that their ranch was located smack in the middle of Franklin’s tennis courts.

If you’re looking for old editions of local newspapers, including our own Highland Park News-Herald & Journal, you should check out the California Digital Newspaper Collection housed at the University of California at Riverside and available online at https://cdnc.ucr.edu/
