- This is a promotional brochure put together by the Golden Gate, International Exposition to advertise the Expo. It comes with, one half of the rear panel blank to be used to mail the, brochure to friends, relatives and colleagues. The brochure, consists of one page folded four times, with text and photos on, both recto and verso with basic information about the fair -, dates, map, plan of events and more. The brochure is in Very, Good+ condition with just some light rubbing to the outer, covers. "The idea to hold a World's Fair to commemorate the, completion of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge started, from a letter to The San Francisco News in February 1933., Architects W. P. Day and George Kelham were assigned to, consider the merits of potential sites around the city,, including Golden Gate Park, China Basin, Candle Stick Point,, and Lake Merced. By 1934, the choice of sites had been narrowed, to the areas adjoining the two bridges: either "an island built, up from shallow water" north of Yerba Buena Island which would, go on to be named Treasure Island, or the Presidio, which had, previously been used in 1915 for the Panama–Pacific, International Exposition. Yerba Buena Shoals was chosen as the, site in February 1935. In August 1935, a $10 million proposal, using federal WPA funds for construction work was advanced, and, in October of that year, Leland W. Culter, president of San, Francisco Bay Exposition, Inc. , announced that President, Roosevelt had approved US$3,000,000 (equivalent to $55,940,000, in 2019) to help fund the cost of reclaiming land at Yerba, Buena Shoals.
