A sign in the photograph reads “PLACENTIA. ‘Home of the Valencia”. Farm Center”.
Text from newspaper caption: A striking display was that of West Orange Farm Center, which simulated the Sahara, with walnut pyramids and a sphinx in the foreground’s sands which seemed to have found an answer to the riddle of the centuries down in Orange county. The exhibit won a second prize award in the division for diversified farm center displays. [Los Angeles Times, 12 Oct. 1930: J10]
