Had the Bancroft Library, I found a small booklet, on Kern County, that told how great it was to live and farm in Kern County. It was printed by the Sunset Magazine Homeseekrs' Bureau, in San Francisco, in 1910. The Bancroft got it from the California Development Board, which was either headquartered or had a office in the Ferry Building, was wondering if anyone has heard of the California Development Board?
