Thanks for the follow up and additional images
Tourmaline.
It seems W.B. Bert Kinner was involved in a couple other aviation sites in the Los Angeles area back in the day.
In the early 1920s, Mr. Kenner, a Long Beach resident, owned and operated Kinner Field located on the west side of Long Beach Boulevard
and Tweedy Road in what is now South Gate. (I haven't been able to locate it on any old maps though)
Kinner Field included a small hanger (below), a 1,200 ft roughed out runway....
from
Early Aviation in Long Beach by Gerri Schipske
and one employee, Anita 'Neta' Snook who had recently arrived from Iowa after a season of barnstorming.

After Glendale (Kinner Airplane and Motor Co.), Mr. Kinner owned the Security National Aircraft Corporation at Downey Field (below)
1933

The building still stands along Lakewood Boulevard in Downey.
