Description

An article, "Los Angeles—The Wonder City of America," T. A. Rickard, Engineering News-Record, 4 October 1923 (Vol. 91, No. 14.) The piece is a general overview of the dramatically growing city and environs with typical dismissive comments about its pre-American past and segments about the harbor; population; agriculture; oil; industry; climate; the film industry; public utilities; real estate promotion; labor conditions; and prominent citizens. With minor yellowing, light soiling, and moderate edge rubbing, the overall condition is good.
