What local young woman posed for a citrus packing label?
Gordon McClelland, an Orange County author visited Placentia when he was doing research on his books relating to the Citrus Industry. He owns a remarkable collection of citrus labels deriving such interest as a student when he worked part time in the local packinghouses. One day, a lady came up to him at the Tlaquepaque Restaurant, revealing that it was she who posed, costumed as a Pirate Girl on one of the Bradford Brothers’ Tesoro labels. We now know that she lives in town, but who is she? In the Placentia History Room we have a modest collection of labels, donated by Dave Trecker, and we would like to hear her story and perhaps have a photograph of her to display with the label. The Tesoro Label is probably dated from the forties. If you are reading this and know that person, please ask her to get in touch with somebody in the Library!
