Excellent condition.Pleasure-seekers had been moving to Los Angeles in droves since the 1880s. This is an attempt by the Chamber of Commerce to entice more industry. It discusses L.A.s cheap and abundant water, power and fuel, the raw material in the immediate vicinity and the excellence of its harbors.

And according to the Chamber of Commerce all of this lovely capitalism this was all made possible because L.A. is "The Home of Contented Labor" (meaning of course the pleasant weather and the "fair' wages; which is a ruse as L.A was one of the least Union-friendly cities in the country.
