PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY A PIONEER IN DEVELOPING THE WEST
NA VAST, animated diorama covering the end wall of the Electricity and Communications Building, three phases
of California's development are portrayed. On the left is a covered-wagon train of '49, encamped for the
night in a Sierra pass. On the right is a dock scene in early-day San Francisco
tide, a stage coach awaiting its passengers. In the center panel is the artist's conception of the City of the Future.
Fifty animated figures give the diarama life and reality. Changing light effects playing upon the richly colored
backgrounds of mountain and bay scenery add beauty and charm to the picture. Beneath, at floor level, is a series
of other exhibits presenting the advantages of electric utility service and the extent of the Company's system.
