Incinerator Man
In the fifties and sixties, instead of having a garbage service like we have now, they burned their trash in the back yard. Los Angeles was in the throws of the post-war boom. By 1955, we had nearly a million people and were the largest city in the west. New suburban neighborhood were popping up all over. Every one of them burning garbage on a daily basis. Makes this picture (see the incinerator right next to this guy's elbow) just a little creepy, doesn't it?
