Here's a nicely scanned sepia postcard of the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax. (maybe we've seen a smaller version of it)

The Cresta Blanca sign seems to have had a nice run.

Looking northeast across Fairfax and Wilshire Boulevard, ca.1950

Great, busy view of the intersection. Simon's Sandwiches bottom left, May Company and the annex (low, white building beyond May Co.). Cresta Blanca sign and a really nice array of cars and the Studebaker tells me we're flirting with 1950.

detail from a Whittington aerial.
