    Table of Dates
I don't have a date for this city directory but it is in the city of Santa Monica, California.  It appears that Harry Kalpakian deals in cigars.  Family history says he sold cigars on the beach in the 1920s.

 This short biography was written by her daughter Betty Kalpakian Bown  In maybe the 1970s the Betty Bown and her children asked Grandma about her life.  In 2023 I digitized these tapes.  I'm hoping to try and find the complete page at some point
