    Caption: "Crowd Watching Chrysler Automobile Maneuvers. Chicago Fair. Sept. 17, 1934." Fairgoers pack the stands at a demonstration of the capabilities of Chrysler automobiles on a track created as part of the Chrysler complex built for the Exposition. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms."

    Caption: "U.S. Battle Ship California. May 28, 1937." The USS California, a Tennessee-class dreadnaught battleship, was the fifth U.S. ship named after the Golden State. Launched in 1915, the California served as the Pacific Fleet's flagship for twenty years. The California was docked at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked in 1941. Two bombs struck and eventually sunk her, killing ninety-eight of her crew and wounding sixty-one more. The California was subsequently refloated, with repairs done first at Pearl Harbor and then at Puget Sound Navy Yard. She then sailed to assist numerous campaigns in the Pacific Theater of the war, earning seven battle stars for this service. The California was decommissioned in 1947, and sold for scrapping in 1959.
