  • Abstract
    TREASURE ISLAND is 400 acres of sand pumped out of San Francisco Bay; but those attending the combined summer and Pacific Coast Convention of the AIEE to be held in San Francisco, June 26–30, 1939, and other visitors to the Golden Gate International Exposition, will remember it as a scene of rare, colored beauty. Electricity will have been responsible for that. Electricity is what makes the San Francisco Fair different from those that have gone before. Treasure Island is a symbol of the progress that has been made in illumination in just a few short years.
