...Francisco's two great bridges. Chosen president of the fair corporation was Leland W. Cutler, who is no gardenia-fragrant showman like New York's Grover Aloysius Whalen,* yet is just as sound a financier and heady planner. An engineer named William Peyton Day made cruise after patient cruise taking soundings of the shoals north of Yerba Buena (Goat) Island, perfecting the idea of pumping up out of the Bay's black bottom a site for the fair which could later serve the city as an airport. Crafty Democrat George Creel...

One such is kindly-faced, near-sighted Gus Anderson, who charges batteries for the electric trucks of Pilgrim Laundry, Inc. of Brooklyn, N. Y.
