Herberts 1940s - located on the lot currently occupied by CBS (Southeast Corner of Beverly and Fairfax). Look closely and you can see a bit of Gilmore Stadium in background. This also means that it might have been from this same location that the photo of the Fairfax Theater was taken. Of course if you couldn't find a parking spot you could try Simons - a few blocks south on Fairfax. Notice the omission of an apostrophe. Artistic license

Herbert's, Carpenter's, Simon's. No mention of "Robert's"?

Built by William N. Roberts in 1940. Corner of Olive Avenue and Victory Boulevard. Later became - Van De Kamps ('68)and Biff Naylors Gristmill('79).
