"A Visit to American Cities" features Los Angeles circa 1917, as produced by the Ford Motor Company. In a previous post of this clip, it was identified as a travelogue. This slightly longer version reveals it was part of an educational series, and stored in the Ford Library. It is a safe guess that Ford hoped it encouraged touring the US by automobile.
