Description
On reverse: LA 15454 (Los Angeles Bureau). Devastation left in path of Santa Monica Mountain fire. Los Angeles, Calif., While thousands of persons continued evacuation of their homes in the path of the Santa Monica Mountain Fire, one of the worst in Southern California history, which raged out of control, the fire itself left nothing but destruction in its wake although no lives had been reported lost. Photo shows beach homes just south of the swank Malibu residential area which were destroyed when flames leapt the beach highway. "Your Credit Line must read ACME" [on label]. Topanga Beach, Cal [in pen].
