Promotional calendar provided by the First National Bank of Santa Barbara to its Spanish-speaking clients. The work was compiled by Paul G. Sweetser, local history authority and one-time consul to Mexico. It is inscribed by him on the title page, "Para Eloisa, Paul G. Sweetser." The present Spanish-language promotional work coincided with the creation in 1924 of a local fiesta celebrating Santa Barbara's Spanish heritage. Sweetser was instrumental in its formation. A nice association.
