Description

MAGAZINES, "TOURING TOPICS," July 1929, Volume 21, Number 7, published by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Among items are editorials, a rotogravure section, articles on tourist attractions, western history, club activities, fall fashions, and others. One article reproduces some of the recollections of Los Angeles resident Stephen C. Foster, including a remark about William Workman outfitting a fur-trapping expedition about 1836 while in Taos, New Mexico. At the end are routes and rules for highway patrol service cars operated by the club, official car forwarders, official hotels sanctioned by the club, district offices of the club, and official emergency road service stations. There are many illustrations and advertisements in the publication, as well. The covers have creases, scratches, sopiling, edge and corner wear, and are loose, though the pages are clean, so the condition overall is fair.
