Love these. The "Live Better Electrically" jingle has been on a loop in my head since I first heard it many decades ago. It's a classic of Cartoon Modern.
This picture is also included in that ebay auction.
It shows more clearly the SIP-N-BITE next door to a Abe's Liquor Store.
That particular Abe's is still selling liquor at 122 Sumner Avenue in Avalon, Catalina Island.
Noir_Noir nailed the location of the ebay pictures, but FYI, according to the CDs there was also a Sip N Bite Restaurant at 315 W Florence Avenue circa 1960-63.
About 4 or 5 days ago I happened upon some amazing photographs from an old photo album on eBay.
Here's the first photograph.
Holy Cow! ..(that's what I saw when I first saw the photograph)
Does anyone recognize the building(s)?
.
Lovely to look at! Building under construction in front is one of early hotels on Broadway -- peeking at us from said front structure's top right corner would be the Highland Hotel on First at Hill-- Further up one can see the spire of the Bradbury mansion.....
Since the Highland Villa was on the NW corner of 1st and Hill, that puts the building in the eBay photo (seen here in the lower left corner)
on the NE corner of 2nd and Hill. This photo looks NW from the City Hall on Broadway.
