Yungbluth Held In High Esteem Veteran Merchant Leader In Building Anaheim Into Fine City The story of the growth of Yungbluth's store closely parallels that of the growth of the city of Anaheim. F. A. Yungbluth started in business in this city more than 40 years ago with the firm conviction that if Anaheim grew and prospered his business would grow and prosper. With that conviction in mind Yungbluth has worked steadily and earnestly for the betterment of the community in which he lives. Yungbluth started his career in Anaheim as a youth as apprentice to his uncle, Feed Crist, a merchant tailor. After serving in that capacity for four years Yungbluth went to San Francisco to cutting school and upon the death of his uncle returned to Anaheim, purchased Crist's business and established the concern which was destined to become one of Anaheim's leading business institutions. Moves Business Shortly after entering the merchant tailor business Yungbluth moved his shop into the Ruhmann building on North Los Angeles street. It was there in the early part of 1902 that he and Louis Kroeger became partners in a men's furnishing store. Yungbluth also continued his tailoring business. About three years later Yungbluth and Kroeger moved their establishment to a building at the present location of the store, 147 CAR TRACKS ON CENTER STREET The above picture showing Center street, looking toward the west was taken in 1894.

Lassen Covered with Early Snows Motorists driving to and through Mt. Lassen national park will be treated to the thrill of viewing Lassen Peak with its winter coat of white. The first snowstorm of the season brought a two-foot fall to the upper elevations, and while the Lassen Peak loop highway was closed temporarily until the snow removal crews could clear the snow, the road is again in good condition, reports the National Automobile club. Chains will not be necessary unless another storm occurs, but careful driving is required during the early morning and evening hours when the road is likely to be icy.

Gathas, owner and operator of the Oyster Loaf cafe, came to Anaheim in 1911 and purchased Anaheim's original cafe which was known as the Otto restaurant. He immediately changed the name to its present one. After four years' operation in the original location the cafe was moved to its present site at 174 W. Center street which has a seating capacity of three times the former cafe. The restaurant now employs 12 persons. Assisting Gathas in the operation of the cafe is his wife, Mrs. Ina Gathas. She is also well known in Anaheim as a raiser of flowers. The Oyster Loaf cafe specializes in sea foods, although the menus are of the highest variety.
