"In a valley where Palm and Pine grow in neighborly beauty and vie with each other in providing pleasing settings for bungalows, is it any wonder that humans as widely separated in original habitat meet and live in their shade in peace and amity? From every clime have come to Glendale homebuilders and home-lovers to raise their roof-trees on the First of the Ranchos. Here they have fashioned their dwellings, as did the Verdugos of old, to satisfy at last 'the secret sense of hunger for beauty and for solace.'"
