Written on the back of the photograph is "promotion band and buyers for sale of lots in Claremont." Stamped on the back in purple ink is "Pierce & Willard Photographers Claremont, - Calif." This photograph was used in the pageant program, "Pomona College Pageant 1913," [Special Collections Call Number XP5.2 H5 1913] on page 50.
