50 YEARS AGO (1958)
Construction of 10 new units along Lombard Avenue to raise the total to 24 was announced by the Waits Motel at 13th Street and Lombard. A new home and office also were added. The eighth motel he had constructed since 1940, Stanley F. Waits opened the local motel with his wife a year ago. A block off Highway 99 (Broadway), it provided a quiet atmosphere and free television in each unit.
The cheerfulness of the holiday was heightened in cities and towns throughout the area with Christmas trees and other outdoor decorations. A tree, aglow with multi-colored lights, stood in the middle of State Street in Marysville.
