I read your post about the Saake Picture Framing business. I see that there was a Frank but did someone, maybe his father own it before him. It looks like it was around since the early 1900's. Also do you know when it was sold? The last I can find anything on the store in the Tribune was around 1975. I too have a picture with the label on it and am wondering about the age of the picture.
I worked for the City of Oakland for 25 years near the site and am always interested in knowing about the history..
Thanks
