On this date in 1913, the Guy M. Rush ran this ad in the Santa Ana Register reminding potential Seal Beach real estate buyers that a special Pacific Electric red car was leaving for Seal Beach (actually still named Bay City) the next morning at 9:30 a.m.
I have no idea what the yawning baby and “Little Seal Beachers” have to do with selecting a lot, but two bits got you a round trip and a lunch.

Hi Michael,
I’m a long time fan of your historical blog. I was hoping to discuss it and your 2018 content calendar in more detail over a cup of coffee.
Do you have availability the first or second week of December?
Best, Nat
