Caption

Text from nitrate negative sleeve: Tia Juana. Bartlett. Outside the "longest bar in the world" at Tia Juana, which is thronged with Eastern tenderfeet during the summer overland vacation season, hovers the native vendor of tourist goods, and he speaks good "Engleese;" will if you desire, escort you through various back doors of the little town, especially when he sees two husky Mexican policemen, each wearing a brace of guns, extra ammunition, handcuffs, blackjacks and other implements of war, in their motor truck, which is a travell-jail, leave for manhunt or something in the outskirts of town. Miss Jean Myras, Hollywood model, trying her best not to look "professional" in picture. 1931
Text reads in part: Bartlett. Tia Juana has interesting side-street bazaars displaying an amazing line of Mexican handicraft. Real sombreros, rugs ... and whatnot may be had at low prices. Miss Jean Myras in picture. A rather amazing feature of Tia Juana is the high-class store selling highest quality Scotch and English haberdashery ... This is a great lure to tourists
