Hill (Los Angeles: Security Trust and Savings Bank, 1929), 208 pp. The book has an orange cardstock cover with a black and white photograph of the plaza church at the center of the front.

Two automobiles are parked at the curb on the right. At the bottom of the image is a white square box with words that read "These Palms Bear / Witness," followed by a brief description of the many innovations in Los Angeles history. At the beginning of the inside are a label announcing the merger of the Security Trust and Savings Bank with the Los Angeles-First Trust and Savings Bank, and a title page. The artifact covers the history of the city from the rancho period to the date of publication, looking at such topics as the Rowland-Workman expedition; city pioneers; transportation; education; recreation; business; the demolition of the Temple Block and the construction of City Hall; government; culture; and much more. Many black and white photographs are included. The book was published for the fortieth anniversary of the Security Trust and Savings Bank.
