PPIE Exhibits for California's Counties

I have run across quite a few county souvenir books and I am gathering them here. So far I have about ten of them. I'd especially like to find Alameda and the rest of the counties. The San Joaquin counties may have one combined.

I think it was fourth grade when we had to do reports on California counties. I think I picked Alpine county. Because of this connection in my mind with fourth grade, I'm putting the National Education Association and and Internation Congress of Education booklet here. It's actually a very good booklet with lots of information on the various exhibits within the palaces.






Here are the counties and regions:

• Alameda - published in 1915, but doesn't say PPIE.  "the logical location for the Pacific Coast factory assembling or distributing plant of the Eastern manufacturer, where industrial opportunity offers a challenge to creative genius"
• Alameda, 1915, but doesn't say PPIE. "The Ideal Place for your California Home" 
• Calaveras
• Coachella Valley Date Growers. This article said it was given out at PPIE.
• Fresno
• Glenn
• Lassen County's exhibit of Indian baskets and plates
• Marin County exhibit under construction, picture only.
• Sacramento County Report, Exposition Commission
• San Joaquin Valley exhibit incuded the counties: Calaveras, Fresno, Kings, Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Mono, Inyo, Kern, and Tulare. 
• Santa Barbara and its exhibit under construction.
• Sonoma
• Siskyou

The Blue Book has some photos of the county exhibits. Here's Alameda County.
