Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that tries to dissuade travelers from going to California, especially San Francisco, during World War II. The ad has a drawing of San Francisco harbor showing it lined with ships waiting to be loaded and cruising out heading for the Golden Gate Bridge. The ad headline says “Don’t come to San Francisco NOW” and the ad talks about war workers as well as Army and Navy personnel filling the hotels and restaurants while industry works around the clock. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
