Palomar Mountain News

A fun package arrived from the sellers of a little cabin up here. They wanted the new owners to have the cabin plans that were used to build their special place on Palomar. Of course I had to share with you. The Escondido lumber company where the family purchased their supplies had a two digit phone number??!? Makes me wonder how many total phones were in the city in 1920? The small book gives all the instructions you need to build the cabin from start to finish. Now we know why tree stumps are so often found as footings.

Whoever wrote this flyer really knew marketing and how to close a deal, don’t cha think? Beginning with a question and then “… Do it at once” and “Make your selection now”!

In 1920 the cabins were complete with living, sleeping areas, a kitchen and a fireplace. Oh, but you had to take a trip to the outhouse tucked away in the forest back in those days. Simpler times.

Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather we are treated to this week.
