Notes	Title supplied by cataloger.; Herman J. Schultheis was born in Aachen, Germany in 1900, and immigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s after obtaining a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He married Ethel Wisloh in 1936, and the pair moved to Los Angeles the following year. He worked in the film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, most notably on the animated features Fantasia and Pinocchio. His detailed notebook, documenting the special effects for Fantasia, is the subject of a 14-minute short-subject included on the film's DVD. In 1949, he started employment with Librascope as a patent engineer. Schultheis was an avid amateur photographer who traveled the world with his cameras. It was on one of these photographic exhibitions in 1955 that he disappeared in the jungles of Guatemala. His remains were discovered 18 months later. The digitized portion of this collection represents the images Schultheis took of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities after he relocated to the area in 1937.
Historical Data	In 1925 W. K. Kellogg, founder of the Kellogg Company, purchased land and built his ranch in Pomona. In 1932, Kellogg donated his ranch to the state of California who gave it to the University of California. It was run as the W. K. Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry until the property was donated to the Army in 1942 for use as the Pomona Remount Station during the war. In 1949 it was transferred back and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona built their campus on the former ranch land. They continued to occupy the original Kellogg stables until 1974 when they moved to new facilities known as the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center. The original stables (building 26), designed by Myron Hunt, are now called the Union Plaza.
Description	Crowds gather to watch trainers dressed in white parade Arabian horses, each one wearing a blanket with one of the letters that spell out "Kellogg" at the W. K. Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry. The original ranch buildings can be seen in the background.
