Salla was employed as an "artist, studio" in 1930 and living at his mother's home in Chicago. He married Anna Ursini in Chicago in 1926 Salla is listed in Who's Who in American Art (1974-1982), Davenports Art Reference and Price Guide , Mallett's Index of Artists Supplement , and Who Was Who in American Art by Falk.
