Among the coming towns Of South.
EN- California no town has been laid
out on . more substantial scale with q
view to future growth and prosperity
than South Cucamonga, San Bernar'
dino county, California. Its location
is one Of the most charming in the
sreat Cucamonga Valley, situated on
The gently sloping plain, at an slti'
sude of 952 feet above sea level, and
within full view Of the grandly tower
ing peaks of the magnificent Sierra
lGadre rarge. Old Badly, with his
superb height of 5000 feet, and hoary

Of orange, lemon, lime and olive, and
vineyards laden with semi-tropical

Cucamonga as can be found any

taking soil and climate together, to be
far superior to the famous Duarte and

fractions. Over thirty trains pass
through Cucamonga daily.
