From the following link: https://www.loc.gov/item/sn86071849/ , we learned that the "Oakland Post Enquirer" ran from 1922. 1950 in Oakland, CA. It resulted from a merger between the Oakland Daily Post and the Oakland Enquirer. This paper was daily except for Sundays. This booklet was published by Cleveland Publications, in San Francisco. <br /></div>
