Excerpt from Treasure Island "the Magic City," 1939-1940: The Story of the Golden Gate International Exposition Mr. G. Pisani, head of the Pisani Printing and Publishing Company of San Francisco, had close contact with the 1940 Fair through his interest in one of its outstanding attractions, the Sa lici Puppets. Mr. Pisani offered to underwrite publication costs of this volume, when the Exposition Company was unable to undertake that responsibility. The caliber of his contribution is apparent. The book speaks for itself. When it was finally determined to sponsor the publication of this permanent record of Treasure Island, 1939 and 1940, a supervisorial committee was chosen, which included, among others, Leland W. Cutler, President of the 1939 Fair; Marshall Dill, President in 1940 and George Creel, United States Com missioner for both years. This committee has checked and passed upon all factual data.
