Fourth advertisement poster from the Industrial Promotional Campaign of 1929-1930 for Alameda County. The catch phrase for the poster is "'The World's Finest Airport' Spurs Air Progress." The ad states that the Oakland Airport and the other airports in Alameda County are fast growing facilities with growing businesses already located at each airport. The ad finishes with the following statement "From Oakland Airport alone 52,900 persons embaked on flights last year. Far-sighted aviation concerns are invited to settle here." A drawing of an high-winged monoplane appears at the top of the poster. The donor's father was the graphic designer for the posters, E. Adams.
