Edgar Rice Burroughs of Tarzana

Tarzana’s Rich History

By: Joan Duffy

Edgar Rice Burroughs, known best as an American author for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzana and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter. In 1919, Edgar Rice Burroughs purchased the Otis Ranch, built his home there and named it Tarzana Ranch.

In 1923, Burroughs subdivided a portion of his land for homes. This was known as the Tarzana Tract. A promotional brochure of the era said of Tarzana Tract: “Chosen by Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of the Tarzan Stories and The Girl from Hollywood, Tarzana is the pride of the beautiful San Fernando Valley. Tarzana will enjoy everything that makes for ideal home life. High elevation, water, gas, electricity, paved streets, etc…. Tarzana offers you homey, spacious acres, with cool, liveable surroundings. Here amidst nature’s own, on a subdivision in which the price includes all improvements, with convenient schools, churches and theatres, is the place to live. Do you know that you can buy one of these full acres for $1500, the price of a city lot in the poor district? Why hesitate? Come out into the open and see Tarzana.”

Although it’s a substantially more expensive today, Tarzana still holds that spacious, natural feel south of the boulevard.

Listen Deeply and Work Smoothly

By: Gary Krieger

How do you work with the professionals whose job it is to help you, counsel you, or guide you?  Do you have a trusted advisor who listens to you and really understands you?  After all, if you are not heard accurately, how can your advisor truly help you?  Stephen Covey, the highly acclaimed author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People says, “As you learn to listen deeply to other people, you will discover tremendous differences in perception.  You will also begin to appreciate the impact that these differences can have as people try to work together in interdependent situations”.
