Vintage Postcard 1920s California Dream Ontario Home Orange Inland Empire
Social History: This 1920s postcard is more than just a picture of a house; it is a piece of Southern California boosterism. The back features a printed promotional message: "I AM WRITING FROM ONTARIO, CAL... a hustling city of commerce that is surrounded by the most gorgeous of California scenery. As far as you can see are great orange and lemon orchards."
This reflects the era when Ontario was at the heart of the "Orange Empire," marketing itself as a lush, prosperous paradise to attract new residents and investors from the East.
