The only walrus that we have seen around these parts is
Woofy at Marineland.

That is until I happened upon this postcard a few days ago at
rubylane
"The Walrus in Los Angeles, Cal." at Vance Drug Company

Here's the reverse:
It turns out the postcard is an advertisement for the Walrus Manufacturing Company out of Decatur Illinois.
(about 70 miles southwest from the small town I grew up in)
And as you can see from the photograph...the Vance Drug Company [in Los Angeles] installed a 'Walrus' soda fountain.
The Vance Drug Co. was located at 400 S. Broadway.

And much to my surprise, I also found a local agency and display room of the Walrus Company at 814 E. Third.
So here's the rub...I'm trying to located a photograph of the building located at 814 E. Third around 1915. I haven't had any luck.
also
...what building was at 400 S. Broadway in 1915? (location of the Vance Drug Store)
Any help would be appreciated.
