ON MONTEREY PENINSULA, there are three organized communities, Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel. In addition to these there is the Hotel del Monte and their properties, Monterey is one of the most picturesque of Ameri- v can cities. It is known as the city of three flags and the cradle of California's history and romance. The American flag was first raised in July 1846--- making this U. S. possession and in Sept. 1849 the first state capitol was located here. Pacific Grove is a beautiful city of homes, on the northern top of the peninsula. Carmel is a pic- turesque town located in a dense pine forest with : a beautiful bay frontage and a mountainous back- ground. This quaint village has become nationally known as an artist's colony. B. W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON HOUSE Here is one of America's most lovely shrines. It was known as the house of the Frenchman Jules Simoneon, with whom Stevenson made his home in 1879. Stevenson was attracted here from Europe by the woman who later became his wife, and from this old building he started making his many Peninsula jaunts. Stevenson was noted as an essayist, poet and writer of boys' stories. It was here that he wrote "The Amateur Emigrant," "The Pavil. ion on the Links," "Treasure Island," and others. This literary memorial is said to be visited by more people annually than any other in E the world, save only Shakespeare's home at Stratford-on-Avon. B. W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL. THE LARKIN HOUSE In 1832, Thomas O. Larkin came to Mon- terey. He opened a wholesale and retail store, and became the first and only United States Consul to California. Next to the Larkin House, is an old adobe, built by Larkin in 1834. Here was head- quartered William Tecumseh Sherman, when he was stationed at Monterey. At that time, the man who was later to be a famous Civil War General was a Lieutenant. General Halleck was also headquartered here. Sherman as a youth in Monterey, figured in one of Monterey's wistful legends. B. W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL. Monterey is one of the most picturesque of American cities. It is known as the city of three flags, and the cradle of California's his- tory. The first state capitol was located here, and today many of the historical landmarks still stand, and unfold the romance of early California and "Old Monterey." Monterey fronts on beautiful Monterey Bay, where may be seen the fishing fleet at an- chor, the industrial section of the city's $10,000,000 fishing, canning and packing ac- tivity. Nearby, the Presidio, is an Army Post of Field Artillery and Cavalry situated on the slopes overlooking Monterey Bay, and a back- ground of matchless beauty. ST CARD B. W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL.

The drive passes through old Monterey, Pacific Grove and along the rugged coast line of Monterey Peninsula, with its famous cypress forests, moss beach, Pt. 3 Joe, bird rock, fanshell beach and the lone cypress on midway point. Pebble Beach and Del Monte Lodge and many other points of interest worthy of a separate visit. B. W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL. OLD CUSTOM HOUSE To most people, the Old Custom House in Monterey is the most interesting building on the Pacific Coast. In the earliest days, it was not only used for conduct of Royal business, but it was the social center for Spanish aristo- crats. Here beneath the Spanish Flag, press- ing matters of state were settled and gala balls were held. The upper end was built in 1814 by the Spaniards. The center section was built by the Mexicans when they had wrested independence from Spain. On July 7th, 1846, Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the American flag over the building, and the lower end of the custom house was added on by the Americans. It is along Adobe building and stands near the shore of Monterey Bay. -B, W. WHITE, MONTEREY, CAL. GENUINE CURTEICH-CHICAGO 'C.T.
