On offer is a detail oriented, well-filled handwritten diary written by an unidentified Fresno-Sanger California area man. Research suggests this 1935-1939 Depression Era five year diary is written by a mid-50s year old man [he has his 32nd anniversary in 1935, he goes to Fresno for a new set of teeth] works extremely hard with his own ranch and orchard plus he has a super busy plumbing business where he works for many larger commercial establishments: Fresno High, Wash Union High, Pleasanton Restaurant, Eston High School, cleared a sewer, worked on down spouts at Hall of Records, Roos Bros.+++ Most of the jobs seem large and involving pipe installation and pipe maintenance. He also butchers pigs and cows and most of the other jobs a large ranch and orchard require. Many businesses, friends, workers and family are named and local historians or collectors may very well find the name of our author.
