From the Foreword...
"PASADENA is famed everywhere for its picturesque beauty and for its charm and healthfulness of
climate the year 'round. It is not only the delight of the thousands of visitors who come here in
increasing numbers each winter from all parts of our own country and from abroad, but Pasadena is
becoming more and more known as a city of homes and a center of culture, intelligence and civic pride,
the radiating influence of which is widely felt. Those most competent to judge — those best informed
in all the history and development of Southern California and the conditions which will determine its
future — do not hesitate to predict large things for Pasadena. And their faith, being evidenced by their
works, may be accepted as well founded. "
