The Exposition was held to promote San Diego and support its economy, which had slowed down with the country's Great Depression. The first year was such a financial and attendance success that it was held over for a second year. The exposition had hundreds of exhibits in history, the arts, horticulture, ethnic cultures, science, and industry. Text from negative sleeve: California, San Diego, Exposition
