Californians Inc, [1939]. Very Good. 1939 Californians. Inc. (San Francisco, California), 6 x 9 inches tall stapled paperbound in yellow printed covers, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs, unpaginated. Very slight rubbing and edgewear to covers. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. February 1939 letter from the director of Californians Inc. laid in. ~SP14~ Produced by a consortium of California businesses to promote tourism in the state, centering on the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. The state of the California economy at this point just prior to the American entry into World War II can easily be discerned from the last line of the brochure: 'Tell anyone to come to California for a glorious holiday, but please advise those seeking employment not to come here at this time. We regret that present demands are insufficient to take care of all who are already here.
