Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A thousand Southern California business and industrial leaders met at the Biltmore to discuss how to spend $100 million on a Los Angeles building campaign, including Henry S. MacKay, local Better Housing program chairman, and James A. Moffet, Federal Housing Administrator. Three men wearing double breasted suits stand behind a podium. James A. Moffett (left) stands with his hands behind his back. Henry S. MacKay, Jr. is in the center. An unidentified mustached man is on the right. All three men are unsmiling. Behind them is a poster with a US flag on either side of it. A blurred man is behind Moffett. Names are incorrect on negative sleeve; should be James A. Moffett and Henry S. MacKay, Jr. This photograph appears in "Boom Plans Described: Moffett Visions Building Rush," Los Angeles Times 01 Feb 1935: A1. Handwritten on negative sleeve: Moffett, James H.; Oil Man 1933 Text appearing with photograph: Ready to Launch Campaign; Preparing to launch Los Angeles' $100,000,000 construction drive, James A. Moffett, Federal Housing Administrator, shown meeting with Henry S. MacKay, Jr., local director, yesterday at a conference, of 1000 Southland builders and bankers. Handwritten on negative: James H.
