Miss 1929 said:It never worked with my coloring, even when I fit into it, but it is swell on you! For those who wonder, it has little images in the rows of print as follows:
Transportation to treasure Island: Cars, trains, buses, and the China Clipper
Buildings: The Elephant Towers, the Court of Pacifica
Views: Both the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge
The Treasure Island fair was not really a World's Fair (they tried but were rejected in favor of New York), but was the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition. They built the island on a sand bar in the San Francisco Bay, intending to use it as an airport after the fair. Once WWII happened, it was no longer large enough for the bigger planes, but it became a naval station until recently, when it reverted to ownership by the city.
Esther Williams was discovered there, swimming in the Billy Rose Aquacade.
