Description	A view of the interior of the salesroom of the Los Angeles Ostrich Farm offering plumes, boas and other products. A tall glass and wood display case stands in the center of the room. Next to it, a wire basket holding ostrich eggs sits on the floor. Three other free standing display cases are visible along the sides of the room, and a wall cabinet with sliding glass doors appears on the right. A woman in a white dress stands by one of the display cases on the left. A brown and yellow carpet with Asian motifs covers the floor.
Historical Background	The Los Angeles Ostrich Farm was built in 1906 by proprietor Francis Earnest and was located adjacent from Lincoln Park (once known as East Lake Park) at 3609 Mission Road. The farm sold ostrich eggs and feathers, and tours were given daily of the grounds. Ostriches were bred for exhibition and trained to pull visitors in carts or to be ridden astride. The farm also put on ostrich races for spectators. The Ostrich Farm closed sometime after 1972.
