A scanned newspaper page from The Californian (Salinas, California), dated Tuesday, November 14, 1950, page 9. The clipping was sourced from Newspapers.com and downloaded on April 9, 2025. The PDF text layer contains only source metadata with no recoverable article text.
This clipping predates Dick's professional writing career by about two years. In late 1950, Dick was living in the Berkeley area, working at Art Music on Telegraph Avenue, and beginning to write seriously. The Californian was the daily newspaper for Salinas, California, a city associated with John Steinbeck rather than Dick. The connection between this Salinas newspaper clipping and Dick studies remains to be determined through examination of the scanned image.
