21 photographs showing men: working with a wheeled tank (Bean brand) and hoses, spraying tall weeds, Los Angeles County, California, 1941 May 27. They also look at a metal bottle with a label "Deoxolin," at an intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive look at a working spray with 4 nozzles, inspecting weeds and equipment, stand beside a sign reading, "This border flameproofed by Deoxolin," and talk in small groups. A sign behind a man spraying reads, in part, "Mulholland Highway and Coldwater Canyon acreage, consult [?] Crest Realty Company, [?] Mulholland Highway, OXford 4044." Several negatives have red tape on them to mask off parts of the images.
