This bulletin gives a concise summary of events relating to California's economics, infrastructure, agriculture, and the like. Most of the topics have a line or two of text. This issue focuses on a summary of statistical data for 1918. The stats are preceded by a summary of the weather for March which is noted as "favorable" but with some deficient rainfall and snowfall in some parts of California. The states include figures for the capital, surplus, and undivided profits; individual deposits; loans, including overdrafts; and resources of the national banks, state commercial trust, and savings banks. Additional financial stats reference resources and liabilities for the banks of California. The right interior panel covers production numbers (where applicable) and the corresponding financial values in different agricultural sectors. The agricultural stats are categorized by "orchard products," "vineyard products," "dairy and poultry products," "farm products and field crops," "fish industry," "forest and lumber products," "mineral products," "farm animals and wool," "nursery and floral products," and "cider, vinegar, etc." The last panel includes figures for the cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Fresno, Stockton, San Jose, Pasadena, Bakersfield, Long Beach, and Santa Rosa. These figures are financial values for "clearing house exhibits" (1917-1918), "building activities" (1917-1918), "bank clearings" (1918-1919), and "building permits" (1918-1919). The back also notes figures for exports and imports in San Francisco and Los Angeles for 1918.. Book. Book Condition: Collectible-Good. Binding: No Binding
