The Transportation section points out Tropico is on the LA Inter-Urban Railway "giving the people of Tropico easy access to the busy (downtown LA) and at the same time enablin...g them to enjoy all the comforts of the country in their home life." Eventually, Tropico was absorbed into Glendale. Brochure is dated April 30, 1907 and issued by the Tropico Improvement Association. Opens out flat to approx 6.5x10".
