10-2-4
:previous:
Apparently the Dr Pepper "10-2-4" slogan lasted for close to 50 years, from the 20s to the 70s: "...sometime in the 1920’s researchers were starting to understand that sugar provided energy to the body. They concluded that the body’s natural rhythms meant that our daily energy “low points” were at 10:30 (2 hours after breakfast), 2:30 (2 hours after lunch) and 4:30 (time for a nap). So Dr Pepper suggested that you have one of their fine beverages at 10, 2 and 4 to combat your energy lags with a hit of sugar. It became part of an ad campaign and made it to the packaging as well." -quora https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7P...G=w483-h398-no drpeppermuseum |
home of the Dr. Pepper ghost sign?
Los Angeles Public Library has this labeled as the Los Feliz Produce Market. --but it clearly say's MYER's. Was there a name change :shrug: or is this simple mislabeled?

. This is something I didn't know about the El Capitan / Hollywood Palace Theatre (now the Avalon) on Vine Street.It was once leased by NBC for the west coast home of “The Colgate Comedy Hour”. NBC’s El Capitan Theater. http://eyesofageneration.com/wp-cont...TV-904x510.jpgLink Here's a photo of Martin & Lewis taken at a rehearsal at the El Capitan for the March 23, 1952, episode. It's a sketch called "The Photographer." http://eyesofageneration.com/wp-cont...17/03/test.jpgLink You can see this sketch below, at 6:47, from Season 2, Episode 30: (The numbering system on the video is the person's numbering for his youtube posts.) Six months later, this was the location that Vice-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon gave his famous "Checkers" speech on September 23, 1952, during the Presidential campaign! The campaign arranged to use the El Capitan Theatre, in Hollywood, where several NBC variety shows were then broadcast, since its lighting was superior to that of NBC Studios. [...] The El Capitan Theatre, at Nixon's insistence, was entirely deserted. Press members were confined to a nearby room, where they could watch on television; stenographers were standing by at the Ambassador Hotel to ensure an accurate transcript of Nixon's remarks for the press. Aides Chotiner and Rogers would watch from behind a screen in the theatre; Pat Nixon, wearing a dress knitted by supporters, would sit on stage a few feet from her husband. The chosen set was a "GI bedroom den" with a desk, two chairs, and bookshelves. The senator usually preferred to work from a memorized text, but would work from notes for this speech to make the talk sound more spontaneous. Nixon spent some time practicing movements for the cameramen and finally went into the dressing room with his wife for a few minutes of solitude. He told her that he did not think he could go through with it, but she reassured him. Wiki http://www.pophistorydig.com/wp-cont...ding-2-300.jpgBoston Globe In March of 1953, NBC aired a special 100th episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour. Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, Eddie Cantor and Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis appeared on the telecast. They were all revolving hosts of the weekly show at the time, along with Bob Hope and Donald O'Connor who appeared from New York City. The following is some great home movie footage of the Hollywood talent, arriving for rehearsals at the El Capitan. |
This is pretty amazing.

TESSA Digital Collections of the Los Angeles Public Library http://tessa.lapl.org/cdm/ref/collec...otos/id/105612 It might be the same Los Feliz Produce Market. There's other signs, from left to right: ? :sly: ? (unreadable) Meat Market, Day and Night Grocers, Bakery Goods, and Martin's Delicatessen. The meat market sign is very illegible. Zooming in didn't help much. Where I've marked the red arrow might be the site of the MYER'S sign. Though, the library does has it categorized under Glendale, CA instead of within LA's city limits :shrug: |

Just like Hollywood Graham mentioned, the time switch was used for street lighting. I found a video on YouTube where their restoration and history is talked about. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/840/4...2039c7a330.jpg YouTube/WestlakeSig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evkFBupExL0 |

The 'bays' appear to be rented to various vendors. And they're all under the umbrella of "Los Feliz Produce Market". Alot of the time I pick up on small clues but miss much larger ones that are staring me in the face. I don't know why that is.:shrug: |
