A couple of newspaper ads for Betty's in the 1950's:
            Betty's Restaurant • Christmas Dinner Ad  •  1952


    Ad for Betty's Lobo Lounge • Miami Daily News • Feb. 4, 1957


The American Legion held their 42nd National Convention in Miami Beach in October, 1960. Their official program had reviews of suggested restaurants and had this to say about Betty's:

"Betty's Restaurant, 1440 Biscayne Boulevard, is
famed for her well planned, medium-priced meals
and the Lobo Lounge is quite the gay spot at
night."

Nice!

St Patrick's Cathedral is a dominant Victorian Gothic church built from basalt and located on James Street, Toowoomba. It was designed by James Marks for the then Catholic Toowoomba Mission and was built between 1883 and 1889.[2] The Cathedral is a fine example of the Victorian Gothic architectural style, the distinguishing elements of which include steeply pitched roofs, buttresses, pinnacles, tracery and pointed arches. Also included in the Queensland Heritage Register's entry is the Presbytery, with walls of face brick and a tiled roof, which is sited on the eastern side of the Cathedral building.[2] St Patrick's is cruciform in plan, and almost 61 meters (200 ft) long and 31 meters (102 ft) wide. The main gabled roof contains the nave and features a stone cross at its apex of the front gable parapet. It intersects with the gabled roofs over each transept. All are steeply pitched. The Cathedral's stonework is "hammer dressed square rubble". A brick chimneystack protrudes through the roof at the western end of the building. One large, timber-battened gable end projects off the main roof at the east end of the southern facade. At the west end of this facade, the roof is hipped. The gable end projecting east is clad in chamfer boards. Space only 4 meters (13 ft) wide at its narrowest separates the Presbytery from a recently constructed brick Parish Centre to the south. St Patrick's was originally a modest timber church but following its destruction in 1883 by fire, work began on St Patrick's Cathedral. The building of the Cathedral was an indication of the emerging importance and institutional presence of the Roman Catholic Church in the Darling Downs region, and the development of St Patrick's following the creation of the Diocese of Toowoomba in 1929 reaffirmed the permanency and strength of Catholicism in the region.[2] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Patrick%27s_Cathedral,_Toowoomba

I have never been able to find W. S. Valentine listed in credible publication, such as the Los Angeles city directories, which connect him with "Putnam & Valentine." What I do find is Putnam & Valentine, John R. Putnam, Arion Putnam, and Carlton O. Valentine during the time period 1901 through 1920. Photographs published as Putnam & Valentine also included photographs made by John R. and Arion between about 1891 and 1901 before they partnered with Valentine.
