Description
Photograph of a horse-drawn Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce float draped in flowers during a Shriners Convention, [s.d.]. At least eight Shriners and the carriage driver are seated in the carriage left of center, while six light-colored horses stand in three pairs in front of the carriage. A very large United States flag is draped in between two pillars at the entrance of the city building located behind the carriage. Behind the horses are the vaguely visible busts of at least fifteen businessmen dressed in suits and hats and one lady dressed with a feather in her bonnet. Above is what appears to be a store front with the words "Central [?] Co." painted on it.
