  • Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts R304) in Wisconsin
    Major Find of Rare Al Demaree Die Cuts (R304) in Wisconsin Father‟s cards are under the bed Plus an interview with Marshall S. Leaf concerning the history of Leaf Gum and the R304s By George Vrechek A few months ago a hard-working Wisconsin man looked under a bed and found 109 of the rarest baseball cards ever issued. I‟ll call the man “Ken.” The cards are known in the hobby as the 1934 R304 Al Demaree Die-Cuts by Dietz Gum Co. of Chicago. I once described these cards as coming around about as often as eclipses. Before everyone starts looking under their beds, there is a bit more to the story including why this obscure set is so interesting. Ken has never been much of a collector and certainly had never heard of the Al Demaree Die- Cuts. However Ken‟s dad collected cards as a kid in the 1930s. Ken‟s dad was born in 1921 and grew up in Dixon, Illinois. He was always interested in sports, particularly the Chicago White Soxs. He saved shoeboxes of Goudeys and other memorabilia. Ken‟s parents moved to Ken‟s current home in Wisconsin in the late 1940s. Unfortunately, Ken‟s parents divorced and his mother pitched the shoeboxes to the dismay of Ken‟s dad. When Ken was still a teenager, his dad told him the cards he saved would be his and, it would be great if Ken could do something with them someday. Ken assumed the memorabilia his dad referred to had been destroyed.

  • West Adams Matters
    WAHA West Adams Heritage Association September 2012 Number 285 West Adams Matters West Boulevard Bridge is Pending Historic Landmark Status by Mitzi March Mogul and John Patterson Historic West Adams is filled with landmarks that we may not pay all that much attention to as we drive by every day. The West Boulevard Bridge, erected in 1933 over Venice Boulevard, is one such historically significant structure. Now West Adams Heritage Association along with neighbors, adjacent neighborhood organizations, the Mid City Neighborhood Council, and Council District 10 are working together to recognize, designate and rehabilitate this historic bridge. The story and significance of the West Boulevard Bridge, like so much of the story of Los Angeles, begins with real estate development. As the city pushed west, as new communities were founded and developed, the need for transportation developed simultaneously. As early as 1902 when George Crenshaw and his son Charles began buying property, and as Moses H. Sherman and Eli P. Clark also purchased real estate in the area, these developers and entrepreneurs understood that without adequate transportation the communities they built would be isolated, no matter how attractive they may be. With the development in 1905 of Venice as a beach resort, the need to link the distances became even greater. Many small railway companies were created throughout Los Angeles, some of them traversing only one street or one small area.
