To all Hawkeyes in the Old Home State -- Greeting:

The Iowa Association of Southern California (incorporated) has been endeavoring for twenty-three years to add to the pleasure of the Iowans who may find themselves in our Southland, either for a season or as permanent residents.

For years we have maintained headquarters where all Iowans were welcome. We have enrolled tens of thousands of the Hawkeyes so that as you come here you may be enabled to find old friends and neighbors. We have our offices conveniently located, light and warm in winter, cool and airy in summer; just the place to spend an hour or two.

We cordially invite you to call and see us when you visit Southern California. Order your mail sent in our care, make your appointments to meet friends here, write your letters, read your papers, use our phone, open your bank account, make yourself at home. Come at once to the Iowa Headquarters in the Continental National Bank, corner Main and Ninth Streets, Los Angeles. You will also find at our office the registers of all the other states and of Canada.

We are planning the annual Iowa Admission Day Dinner, December 28th, and the great February picnic. There is also each year a great Summer Outing of Iowans, the second Saturday in August, at Bixby Park, Long Beach, a city famous as "Iowa's Seaport." You will enjoy all of these reunions. Find out about them as soon as you arrive and do not miss any of them. We are here to aid you in every way we can. Ask at once for Secretary, C.H. PARSONS, who will gladly give you any possible information. There is no charge of any kind and we do not want to make any money out of you. We only want to help you.

--Your old friends from Iowa.
THE IOWA ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA.
