writers of the East and foreign countries have been given such information 

 as enabled them to give true conditions to their publications. 



Congressmen, Senators, and officials in all departments of the Gov- 

 ernment have also been furnished v^ith data and statistics, which have been 

 utilized to the advantage of California and San Francisco. So thoroughly 

 has the work of the Committee been recognized by the business men of 

 San Francisco, and also by friends of California, that hundreds of inquiries 

 which come to the commercial houses and financial institutions every day 

 are sent in to the Committee for answer and investigation. This line of 

 work has been taken up by the Committee successfully and all inquirers 

 have been fully satisfied. 



The Committee has at its headquarters in California Building a most 

 comprehensive Information Bureau, which has broadened its scope in 

 order to be of assistance to visitors to San Francisco. It has a complete 

 list of hotels and boarding and rooming houses, and all visitors are directed 

 free of charge to places suitable to their desires. This Bureau is constantly 

 gathering statistics and data from all parts of California for use in the 

 publicity work of the Committee and for answers to the thousands of 

 inquiries which are coming from all parts of the world. 



The Committee has information about all parts of California, and 

 will gladly respond to any inquiry that may come. All who desire informa- 

 tion that is absolutely correct about any part of the State are invited to 

 correspond with the Committee, and they are assured that their inquiries 

 will meet with ready and cordial response. 



All counties in California are represented on the counters of the Com- 

 mittee, with literature for free distribution, and in addition to this the 

 Committee has data gathered by its own corps of representatives which 

 supplements that furnished by the counties themselves. All this informa- 

 tion is at the disposal of all who may write for it. 



The Committee is always ready to furnish data to newspapers and 

 magazines on any California subject, and will also, through its Publicity 

 Bureau, furnish articles, either illustrated or not, free of charge, to any 

 reputable publication anywhere in the world. Since the United States 

 Government in its statistical departments recognizes and utilizes the infor- 

 mation secured by the Committee as being correct, publications may rest 

 assured that any matter obtained from the Committee will be absolutely 

 accurate in all its statements.
