"Los Angeles Evening Express," Volume 7, Number 67, June 17, 1874. 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, 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 and national news. Page two has some local news, including the city's library, telegraphed dispatches of state, national, and international items and two-and-a-half columns of advertising. Page three is the local news section, including mention of school exercises for the Sisters of Charity school, and four-and-a-half columns of advertising. Except for brief items of national 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
