First advertisement poster from the Agricultural Promotional Campaign of 1929-1930 for Alameda County. The catch phrase for the poster is "Year 'Round Activity..In This Golden Hinterland." The poster advertises Alameda County, and especially Oakland's, wonderful climate that enables year-round farming. Statistics for average temperature and rainfall are also given.
