LOCATION.
The town of Pomona is one mile square,
and is most beautifully laid off on either side
OF the railroad, thirty-two miles East of Los

several hundred feet above the sea level, and
back some thirty-fve miles from the coast in
q direct line.

end OF Los Angeles county, being more CEN
trally located than any other station on the
railroad-present or prospective.

1t is surrounded by most beautiful noun
tain scenery-Mount Cucamongo rearing its
head (snow-capped during great portion OF
the year. several thousand feet above the sea,
only a few miles to the Northeast.
CLIMATE.
A range of hills cuts off the rawness OF the
sea-breeZe, making the climate more equable
and better suited to the invalid than Iocali-
ties nearer the coast, and vet there Is suffi-
ture of the Summer SO prevalent back fur
ther In the interior.
HEALTH.
AS healthful climate this is superior-the
valley being along the foot of the mountains
which, from San Gabriel to Cucamongo, is
admitted to furnish the best climate on the
Pacific slope.
FRUIT.
AS fruit country Pomona cannot be ex-
celled in Southern California. 1t needs no
