This brochure features a 1925 calendar and a poem describing San Francisco's weather. Excerpt from poem: "Where early April and late May / Induce Mid-June to join their play, / And hand in hand the triplets gay, / With mists or trades or sunshine's sway, / Chase all the other months away. / Thereby our calendar unique / On Julian-Gregory's casts a fleer: / Four seasons here you need not seek-- / We have but one--four times a year." After the poem is the caption, "Written July 4th, 1924, when San Francisco's 24-hour range of temperature was from 52 to 57 [degrees Fahrenheit].". Book. Book Condition: Fine.
