Unparalleled in growth and energy.
Not only a summer and winter resort,
but one of the most enterprising business cities of the world.
The first city in America to hold an Aviation Meet,
where the world's record for high flying was broken.

“Front!”
By Paul Gyllstrom
Front, Los Angeles, front! They're here —
Hosts of the land are your guests for today.
Come to this valley of mellow cheer.
Where fairest sunshine and breezes play.
Front, Los Angeles, front! Well, well.
Here's Jim and Harry, Bill, Dick and Fred.
Many a yarn they will have to tell
Of folks and things long out of my head.
Front, Los Angeles, front! Just show
Them the room Golden — next to the sky.
Fellows, none better, want 'em to know
That hospitality's ever our cry.
Front, Los Angeles, front! Take that call;
Do it in the good old Los Angeles way.
Show that you're King Boniface of them all
Hosts of the land are your guests for today.
"Front!"
"Front" is the word of electric energy which animates Los Angeles in hospitality, in industry, in commerce, in banking, in building by the mile from the mountains to the sea, and in providing princely welcome to all visitors in the Key City of the Sunny Southland.
Los Angeles, with present population of 330,000 to 400,000 is at the Front as the most comfortable and enchanting summer resort in the whole world, and it is in Los Angeles that the people of the frigid regions of all countries find greatest delight in sojourning during the winter months.
"Front" —
In Los Angeles sunstroke is unknown.
There are no hot nights.
In the shade it is always cool.
On the sunny side of the street it is summer; on the shady side will be found the temperature of the spring and fall seasons.
A blanket or equal covering is necessary every night in summer.
"Front" —
Los Angeles, the City of the Angels, is the center of greatest variety of pleasures to be found in the world.
From the center of the city it is less than 40 minutes' ride in elegant electric cars to the Pacific Ocean and a dozen splendid seaside resorts, or to the foothills and the mountains and at all points ample provision is made for the entertainment of the people.
Surf bathing, fishing, baseball, tennis, golf, polo, marathon contests, and all descriptions of outdoor sports and pleasures are indulged in the year round.
Trips to Catalina Island, the coast, the canyons and mountains woo and charm tourists and residents alike at all seasons.
"Front" —
Truly, Los Angeles is a wonderful city, unparalleled in growth and energy — not only a summer and winter resort, but one of the most enterprising industrial and commercial centers of the entire Pacific Slope region.
"Front" —
Los Angeles is distinguished as the first city in America to hold an Aviation Meet, where the world's record for high flying was broken, with the great events witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people in the month of January under perfect conditions.
"Front" —
Jot these facts down in your memory, good friends, and welcome visitors to the land of sunshme and flowers:
Los Angeles has one of the most influential and hospitable business men's organizations in the land in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, with its representative membership of three thousand active boosters. This organization is the "Glad Hand " club of Los Angeles and Southern California. It maintains a permanent exhibit of the products of the Southland in its own building, besides keeping up a similar exhibit en a smaller scale at Atlantic City, and making known the fact that California is on the map at all national and at many of the international expositions. In the parlors of the Chamber all of the distinguished men of the nation and foreign countries who have visited Los Angeles have been given the "Glad Hand" of welcome and addresses of national interest have been delivered.
Los Angeles justly prides herself on the size and magnificence of her splendid hotels and other facilities of entertainment. Despite the rapid growth of the city, successful efforts have been made in building hotels for the crowds. Even now expenditure of nearly $3,000,000 is being made for the enlargement of present hotels and for the erection of new hotels.
Theaters and other places of entertainment day and nitght abound, and provision is made for trips to the mountains and the sea at all hours, while the allurements of auto journeys over solid roads are irresistible.
A FEW THINGS WE WANT YOU TO KNOW
That Southern California has an unlimited supply of cheap fuel oil and eleclrical power, which together with its all-the-year-around "out of doors" climate, its three transcontinental railroads and its splendid harbor (within the city limits) make Los Angeles and vicinity ideal locations for all kinds of manufactories.
That Los Angeles has the best Electric (urban and interurban) railroad system in the world, and that it has 50% more interurban electric train departures each day, than there is from Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton, Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne and Springfield combined.
