[Great Depression – California – Auto Tourism – Soap Box Derby] Unknown PhotographerBiblio.com

1920sâ€“1940s Photo Album of California Auto Tourism a Soap Box Derby and a Billboard in Tennessee Warning of â€œNO JOBS in Californiaâ€

1940Cat332United States 1940. Photo album measuring 7 x 10 inches containing fifty-three photographs: two tintypes c. 1890s and 1920s six RPPCs and forty-five modern photographs. Photographs mainly measure 4 x 6 inches and smaller. Conditions vary; some with wrinkling and damage especially to corners and edges; others Fine. Overall excellent. A photo album of an unknown couple. Early shots include two tintypes which appear to be turn of the century to 1920s and six real photo postcards dating to the 1920s at the latest based on stampboxes. The RPPCs include portraits shots from a farm and a souvenir photo from Brooklyn. Later shots are likely WWII-era showing several men posing in military uniforms. The album is highlighted by its photographs of Californian auto tourism and a Soap Box Derby event likely also in California. Identifiable tourist locations include Bear Canyon Campground in Altadena and Cedarpines Park in the San Bernardino mountains; people pose with the car in deep snow and at the campside and shots show the car with luggage strapped to the outside and filling up at a Shell. One Cedarpines photo is dated captioned â€œWinter â€˜28â€. Later auto tourism shotsâ€”with what appears to be a 1940s model carâ€”show the car at a Los Angeles mechanic with a teardrop camper and a boat on top and later parked at a beach with the camper set up with manuscript verso indicating that the location is Mexico. Alongside these photographs is a shot of a Depression-era billboard reading â€œNO JOBS in California / KEEP OUT / 6 MEN FOR EVERY JOB / NO STATE RELIEF AVAILABLE FOR NON-RESIDENTSâ€; on the verso it is captioned â€œ1929 / This sign was posted in Tennesseeâ€. Soap Box Derby is a Depression-era invention beginning in 1934 in Dayton Ohio and quickly becoming a national phenomenon. Derby shots in this album appear to be Californian or at least to highlight Californian entrants: the cars pictured are sponsored by Siminow Bros. a Los Angeles gas station and mechanic. These include the cars being towed in the line for the inspection station the starting line and action shots. Highlighting two very different forms of car-based recreation the album is of interest to historians of the car in American leisure in the period surrounding the Great Depression. unknown

Archive of Original Photographs from the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church in Oakland and Additional Photographs and Documents From Its Later Merger with Lake Park Methodist Church

4750Oakland 1986. Good. Seven substantial photographs measuring between 6 x 9 inches and 7.5 x 36.75 inches plus approximately four linear inches of programs newspapers additional photographs holograph notes financial records and more. Varying levels of wear soiling chipping and repairs to the photographs. A rare collection of substantial images picturing members of the Oakland Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church in the early-to-mid 20th century first at what appears to be a converted home in the city and later at their larger more traditional church on West 10th St with an additional image of an outing to Piedmont. The incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII led to the temporary closure of the church. During this time one of its halls was used to store the possessions of incarcerated Japanese and Japanese American citizens; after the war it served as a hostel for returning members. In 1967 the church sold the land and moved at the invitation of Lake Park Methodist Church to the latter's premises and in 1968 the two churches formally merged. The second portion of the archive relates to the Lake Park Methodist Church both before and after this merger. The photographs present here depicting the earlier years of the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church are as follows in chronological order: 1 Oakland Japanese M.E. Church. Sept. 30 1917 caption title. 7.5 x 9.5 inches. A handsome black-and-white group photograph outside the church captioned in the plate in English. The wooden sign for the church is mounted above the entrance and reads "Japanese M.E. Church." An American flag flies above the sign. Evidence of construction paper adhesion to verso; clear tape to upper corner; light soiling. 2 Methodist Ministers' Conference caption title in pencil on verso. 6 x 9 inches. Similar setting to the photograph above this black-and-white group photograph features a group of almost forty ministers of the Methodist Church most of whom are not Japanese American but apparently met in conference at the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church in Oakland circa 1917 though a pencil note on the verso reads "1912". Formerly mounted with tape remnants to verso and one corner some creasing a few short closed tears. 3 Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church of Oakland. Dedicated Feb. 24th 1918 caption title. 12 x 20 inches. A substantial black-and-white group photograph outside the church featuring a couple hundred members presumable posed for the church building's dedication. Two newspaper clippings of ministers of the church are taped to the upper corners small semicircle of loss and tape to middle of bottom margin tape to corners and verso. 4 Uncaptioned Panoramic Photograph Featuring Church Members in 1925. Tsuji Studios stamp on verso and embossed blind stamp in lower margin. 7.5 x 36.75 inches. Pictures the church membership of over a hundred Japanese American men women and children in the midst of the Roaring Twenties. Heavy dampstaining and damage to left side obscuring about five inches of the image. Accompanied by another example of the same photograph also with Tsuji Studios stamps this copy with damage to the right side. This second example has an ink inscription in Japanese on verso and a computer-printed date taped to the bottom margin and reading "1925." The chipping on each side of the two photographs obscure some of the subjects but taken together these two images record all of the information contained in the photograph. 5 Church Outdoor Ceremony at the Piedmont Hills caption title in Japanese. 8 x 32 inches. A striking sepia-toned panoramic photograph capturing an outdoor excursion to the Piedmont hills in 1927 four captions in the negative printed in Japanese. Tsuji Photo Studio stamp on verso along with a short manuscript caption in pencil in Japanese. Light marginal staining; toning. 6 Farewell Ceremony for Pastor Arima and His Family. January 8 1933 caption title in Japanese. Tsuji Photo Studio. 7.75 x 9.5 inches. Handsome sepia-toned group photograph of a farewell gathering for Pastor Arima and his family in early 1933 captioned in the plate in Japanese. An ink inscription on the verso confirms the caption in the negative and reads "Farewell photograph taken on January 8 1933 prior to the departure of Rev. Arima & family to Japan." Rough patch to lower corner and lower edge likely from tape removal slightly affecting the extremities of the image. 7 Final Service at the West 10th Methodist Sanctuary. Feb. 5 1967 caption title. Utsumi Studio. 8.5 x 14 inches. An informative black-and-white group photograph depicting the congregation at the West 10th Methodist Church location after it was sold in 1967. Small chip and closed tear to bottom margin affecting part of caption tape to verso. The later portion of the archive documents church life and activities at Lake Park Methodist Church the vast majority of which emanates from prior to the merger of the two churches. This earlier material includes a notebook of board meeting notes from 1967 numerous typed board meeting agendas from the 1960s two issues of the Lake Park Methodist Church newsletter called Spotlite church programs and fliers a few Methodist newspapers such as the United Methodist and Lake District Reporter and numerous photographs picturing Anglo-American members of the church. The post-merger material includes a dual-language newsletter and calendar for October 1972 listing the minister as George Uyemura a folder of financial records from the Lake Park United Methodist Church School from 1969-70 and two newsletters from November 1968. An important record of Japanese American religious life in Oakland before during and after the collective trauma of WWII incarceration as well as a peek into the development of a particular California Methodist Church later in the century. unknown

[Japanese-Americana – US Military – California] Tanaka, Kiyoshi; Tanaka, Kameno; Morimoto, Henry; et alBiblio.com

Collection of Captain Kiyoshi Tanaka US Military Intelligence Officer Stationed in Japan and Korea

1964List3231United States and Japan 1964. Approximately 143 items: forty-two letters twenty-five in Japanese and seventeen in English; seventy-six photographs with twelve medium-format negatives; eleven pieces of military ephemera; an inscribed handkerchief; and a lacquered wood storage box 8 x 14 x 7 inches with family crest. Letters and ephemera Near Fine photographs curled else excellent; overall excellent to Near Fine. Kiyoshi Tanaka 1914â€“2001 was born in Sacramento to parents who immigrated from Japan early in the century. In 1943 he and his parents were interned at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center in northern California. Tanaka joined the military in 1949 and served as a Special Agent with the 115th Counter Intelligence Corps Detachment a component of the Far East Command and was stationed in Japan and Korea from 1950 to about 1954. He returned to California and transferred to the Army Reserve in 1956 retiring from the military in 1957. Offered here is a collection of Tanakaâ€™s correspondence photographs and military documents mainly from the 1950s. The latter are certificates of appointment and trainingâ€”Tanaka took courses in counterintelligence and martial lawâ€”and transfer and discharge documents. According to his correspondence Tanaka served in both Japan and Korea though he was mainly stationed in Japan and does not seem to have gone to Korea before 1952. Though the US technically no longer occupied Japan after the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco the accompanying Security Treaty allowed the US military to maintain military bases in the country which were critical in the Korean War. Tanakaâ€™s photographs appear to have been taken primarily in Japan and show street scenes target practice and some shots of office work. Tanaka does not appear to have discussed details of his work with his family and friends; most of his correspondence consists of reminiscing with friends discussing weather and health with family and reassuring a girlfriend in Japan that his â€œevils are limited to drinking 2 or 3 beersâ€ May 17 1954; translated. Sometimes friends reflect on current events; one writes: â€œYou no doubt have read of strikes and there are still talks of other strikes. We do hope that conditions will become so so that there will be more settlements without walkouts and the like. Yes the higher ups always use the Korea situation as a defense but the people in general do not have that close cooperating spirit as there was during the last war.â€ February 23 1951 Also included in the correspondence are several items from attorney Henry Taketa concerning Tanakaâ€™s attempts to get compensation for himself and his mother via the 1948 Japanese American Evacuation Claims Act. The Act was intended to compensate Japanese Americans for losses incurred when they were interned. Tanaka filed and was rejected several times first for over $2000 and then for over $1500; the government countered that Tanaka and his mother were only owed about $90 total. This would have been a typical experience as the Act highly restricted what kinds of losses would be compensated and made the process arduous. Of interest to historians of the Japanese American experience after World War II and during the Korean War in particular. unknown

Ten Photographs of Japanese Immigrants and Laborers in California in the Early 1900s

1910List2960Southern California 1910. Ten photographs measuring 8 x 10 inches and smaller with most measuring 5 x 7 inches. Brown Brothers stamps and manuscript captions verso; some with editorial overpainting; some mounted on heavy cardstock. Marginal damage with some tears and corners missing; very good. Japanese immigration to the US began at a large scale following the midcentury loosening of Japanâ€™s emigration laws and the USâ€™s 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Most Japanese immigrants entered through the west coast especially San Francisco Portland and Seattle and settled in central and southern California. Offered here are ten photographs of Japanese immigrants and laborers in California likely taken between 1900 and 1910 as one is dated 1903. Their work is mainly agricultural though one photograph possibly depicts miners: four men holding sledgehammers stand on a mountainside. Two show newly-arriving immigrants; in one women are lined up to receive a vaccine. Interestingly three of the photographs include women subjectsâ€”prior to the 1907 Gentlemenâ€™s Agreement the Japanese population in some California counties had gender ratios of over 100 men to one woman and some simply had no female Japanese residents at all.1 One photograph that shows a woman at work in a cranberry field is identified as having been taken in Moneta California and the caption states that the cranberry farm was â€œleased by Japsâ€. Moneta actually had the least skewed gender ratio of any Japanese-American settlement at the time in part because its Issei residents were relatively economically better off and as the caption suggests could afford to lease or buy farmland.1 Of interest to historians of Japanese immigration to California and the Japanese-American labor force around the turn of the century. 1 Lane Ryo Hirabayashi & George Tanaka â€œThe Issei Community in Moneta and the Gardena Valley 1900â€“1920â€ Southern California Quarterly 70 no 2 Summer 1988: 127â€“158. unknown

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20â€™s Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings thank you and recommendation letters as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewisâ€™s orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace and stated â€œI have taken the Garden which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast.â€ C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co. department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16 1926 that â€œI donâ€™t think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation.â€ Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple Congress Hotel leading McElroyâ€™s Oregonians at the McElroyâ€™s Spanish Ballroom the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewisâ€™s leaving stating â€œI realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization.â€ McElroy 1888-1947 was known as â€œPopâ€ McElroy was a popular band leader who during the years before World War I and after played the Palm Gardens often and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926 and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station KGW Radio Station and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road fully arrayed on stage in the Radio Station posing at various venues stages and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield formerly with Henry Halsted band William Webber on drums Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players G. Berardinelli on Bass and also played dances at the Irvington Club Multnomah Athletic Club and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland which had been the Cityâ€™s first reinforced concrete building erected during the Progressive Era and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall now the Crystal Ballroom initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929 and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929 leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday Sept. 18 1929 driving 40 mph and getting 19 miles to the gallon with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside OR which had opened originally June 19 1920 and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era including Lyle E. Lewis Cole McElroy Duke Ellington Bob Crosby Glenn Miller and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow after playing McElroyâ€™s Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis 1890-1948 was a popular Portland Oregon based jazz band & orchestra leader who managed to lie about his age and enlist at 15 in the Oregon National Guard Co. G 3rd Battalion served for three years and in May 1910 married Genevieve Franklin while working as salesman and musician before World War I Following the War he quickly became a successful band leader including successful stints with the Cole McElroy Spanish Ballroom Congress Hotel Multnomah Hotel Bungalow Garden Ballroom as well as the Coronado Hotel in California. As indicated by the daily diaries he maintained a fairly close relationship with his daughter Genevieve â€œMarthaâ€ but became largely estranged from his wife Genevieve living in separate rooming houses or hotels. Still in her position as a sales manager she managed to convince Meier & Frank to hire him as their house band for store functions and the restaurant while during the Great Depression he mostly worked for the US Forest Service mapping division while his show business largely disappeared. By 1943 he became the commercial agent for ACME Fast Freight where he worked as commercial agent until his death. This cataloguer could find no surviving recorded discography record for Lyle E. Lewis and his assorted incarnations although there are a few recordings for the Cole McElroy Band from 1926-1928 which most likely would have included him as band leader and musician. Lyle E.
