There were two of these news stands, one by the east entrance tunnel (or right entrance tunnel) and one by the west entrance tunnel (or left entrance tunnel.) In its place is now the stroller rental area. But at this time, it was a grand souvenir stand selling hats (and I have already gone on about hats, how there should be more hats in collections because every souvenir stand sold hats), puzzles, postcards, shopping bags, joke wanted posters and 1957 guidebooks. Stay tuned for tomorrow when I show the West Side Disneyland News Stand.
Another request for a close up. Here are the wanted and other joke posters. These were sold for many years up to the 1970s.
Another request is for a close up of the frame tray puzzles. The puzzles shown is the Main Street gazebo, Frontierland with the tipis, Fantasyland Train and two Mickey Mouse Club ones- one with a circus theme and the other with a farm scene.

And to think a cool stand like this was replaced by strollers. Ugh. What’s on the Wanted Posters? Any chance for a close-up of one?
Thanks for the closeup - great pieces of kitsch.
I've seen multiple photos of the news stand at the west entrance, but this is the first I've seen of the east side version. Much like the photos you had of those Adventureland souvenir stands, these have that "temporary" feel, like fireworks stands that appear around the 4th of July.
How about a closeup of those frame-tray puzzles at the lower right? I don't recognize one of them--and want to be sure I have all the Disneyland ones. Thanks.
sorry for no comment I have been off line.
Thanks for the puzzle CU. And for the daily pictures.
I have the original Fantasy Land frame puzzle with the train on it. It is in excellent condition, and I'm trying to find out if it is worth anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

The puzzles are pretty easy to find. I see the puzzles with an asking price of around $15 to $25.
