Description
Full title:Jiro Oishi and Satoru Akutagawa (on the ladder), setting up their new shop, the A-O Radio Service, at 1856 E. Colorado Boulevard, in Pasadena, California. The partners will feature radio repairs. Colorado Boulevard is the main street of Pasadena. Jiro went to U.S.C. for three years. He formerly lived at El Monte before going to Gila River. Satoru went to Topaz from Los Angeles. It took them a while to find a vacant shop for their business, as the shortage of places for rent applies to stores as well as houses. Jiro first relocated in Chicago, and Satoru in Denver. Jiro's wife Anna is still in Chicago, and Satoru's wife, Kay, is in Topaz with his children (Kenny, 3-1/2; Teddy, 2; and Elaine, 6 months), until they find living accommodations in Pasadena. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Pasadena, California.
