Industries of the South and West (1911)

Probably no record of industrial achievement in the history of any country can compare with the remarkable advancement which our great Southland has made during the past few years. In practically every line of endeavor this wonderland, the Southwest, has equaled or even surpassed the glowing predictions of its most enthusiastic admirers. It has accomplished feats of engineering agriculture, business building and artistic betterment that would have been deemed impossible a few years past. In this interesting educational picture we review some of the features of this remarkable growth. We are shown among other subjects "The Prune Industry," of which the average layman knows so little: "The Famous Roosevelt Dam," in the course of construction and after its completion: "Luther Burbank." the wizard of flower and plant life: "The Watsonville Apple Fair," with its remarkable fruit displays: "The Largest Locomotive in the World," "The Santa Rosa Flower Festival," and "The Los Angeles Vaquero Club" in one of their thrilling exhibitions of horsemanship.
