1939 Davis Promotional Flyer Discovered, report by John Lofland

At a Sacramento "postcard and paper" show recently, I discovered a 1939 flyer apparently published by the Davis Chamber of Commerce extolling Davis as "the ideal place in which to make a home and raise a family."

RESEARCH NOTE: Enterprise Online Archives/Indexes Incomplete. Report by John Lofland

Several Davis history-oriented researchers have mentioned to me that the Davis Enterprise online archives/indexes at its web site and also at Newsbank do not include all news items published in the paper. Moreover, there is no warning about this at either site. This story reports a test archive/index search I performed that provides a clear example of this "short-fall." In addition, when asked about the short-fall, the Enterprise editor confirmed that the archive/index is incomplete.
