[1915]. 22x13 cm, pp. [1-32] (not paginated), illustrations, pictorial white wrappers printed in yellow, blue and green, stapled. First edition. A booklet promoting a small town in California's Central Valley, at the base of the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada, about half way between Fresno and Bakersfield. "That Porterville is a town of prosperity is indicated by the bank deposits, among the largest per capita on the Pacific Coast. A very large percentage of the people of this city own their own residences. It is a city of homes, since there are no saloons, no restricted district, no slums, no Japanese or other Orientals, no foreign population -- in a word, a little city of 5,000 wholesome people whom you will be pleased to know and who will extend you a welcome."
