L.A. Times Past

Acre” store in readiness. Hamburger’s open tomorrow at new location.

We draw your at­ten­tion to the art­icle head­lined “‘Acre’ store in read­i­ness.” It’s an­noun­cing the open­ing of the Ham­burger de­part­ment store at 8th Street and Broad­way in down­town L.A. in 1908. The build­ing later be­came a May Co. Now it’s a flea mar­ket on the ground level and gar­ment man­u­fac­tur­ing on high­er floors. And it’s for sale.
