Pub Note:
"An almost perfect starting point for looking at the 20th century evolution of this (Silicon Valley) region. Plumbers, Roofers, Glass repair, some bookstores, the surrounding ads for local businesses could be almost anywhere in the U.S. at the time. Aside from the "Moffett Field Air Base" and Stanford University, there is little that's unique, but those two locations were roots for the the development to come." (Curtis Bird, 2020)
