Disneyland stagecoach, Anaheim, Buena Park, etc

Given that the artist had to work with a boring name like "Index Brand," this crate label is a really clever design. Index is still in business, but are now mainly in the avocado business.

The Register has posted a slideshow of Anaheim's first 150 years, hosted by Jane Newell of the Anaheim Heritage Reading Room.
.
Yesterland recently added a feature on Disneyland's stagecoach ride, which operated from the park's opening in 1955 until 1959.
.
The Bowers Museum Blog recently featured Don Juan Forster's brandy still and a Jozef Chelmonski painting from Helena Modjeska's canyon home.
.
The Buena Park Historical Society now has "new museum displays including the Lynx Women's Softball Team from the 1940s, a pictorial history of Buena Park's entertainment venues [including the Japanese Village & Deer Park] and photos of the Dreger Clock." The exhibits are located at the Whitaker-Jaynes and Bacon Historic Homes, 6631 Beach Blvd.
