1915 – John O. Adler

3 June 2009

1915

6410 Regent Street

This is undoubtedly the J. O. Adler whose 1914 mark is at 5368 Broadway.

1909 – F. E. Nelson

1909

6408 Telegraph Avenue

This is right next to the Orth & Braun mark featured yesterday, my oldest F. E. Nelson mark so far.

Orth & Braun

orth braun

6408 Telegraph Avenue

This is right next to the bus stop. Orth is a long-running name, either H. C. Orth or a relative, in northern Oakland sidewalks.

6407 Regent Street

I have to assume that this business was Mosagna and Son, presumably younger than Mosagna (but maybe not!).
