"Los Angeles Evening Express," Volume 6, Number 66, December 2, 1873. The newspaper has the words "EVENING EXPRESS" on the masthead, along with an image of a train. The city name and date are at the center just below and the volume is at left (the weekly edition earlier in the year indicated volume one, unless the proprietor bought out an existing paper), and the issue number at right. The proprietor, Tiffany and Co., is listed in a box at the upper left along with office location and subscription terms. The first page consists of six columns of advertising and one of state news. Page two has some local news, telegraphed dispatches of state, national, and international items and two-and-a-half columns of advertising and listings of marriages and births. Page three is the local news section, including returns from a city election, court notes, real estate transactions and smaller items. Four columns of advertising are also here. Except for brief items of state news, the fourth page is taken up entirely by advertising. At the top right of the front page in pencil is "Mechanics Institute," a trade school in Los Angeles. In fair condition, the artifact has brittleness, some soiling, page darkening, a few small tears, and general wear.Lexicon
