Description: ANSWER: It could, of course, be nothing else but Fishermen's Wharf (Berths 72-73) at Los Angeles Harbor, home of our great fleet of purse seiners. The photo has caught the masts, the crow's nest, and the jumble of nets that symbolize this particular dock. Oh, yes, the fishermen here aren't interested in gross profits. They like net profits. And that should take care of that.
KNOW YOUR CITY NO.111-- Honest, this photo wasn't made in Ireland, even if it does look like the County Cork. Those who work here aren't interested in gross profits. You know where it is, of course. We're just being funny. (?) See Page 28, Part II.
