A similar photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the headline, "Thousands Greet Herbert Hoover During One-Day's Visit to Southland,” Los Angeles Times, 18 Aug 1928: 8.
Herbert Hoover looks down at a crowd of admirers from the end of a train. The sign fixed onto the rail reads, "Southern Lark Pacific." Los Angeles mayor George E. Cryer, in the white suit, has his back to the camera.
