• The brochure includes a reference to the 1939 Golden Gate International Expostion, "A Pageant of the Pacific," which showcases the products and cultures of the nations surrounding the Pacific Ocean, with San Francisco serving as the gateway. Among the fair's featured installation was "The Tower of the Sun," an 80-ft statue of Pacifica, depicted on the front cover of this brochure.
