Description
Photograph of a view of Broadway looking north from 4th Street, Los Angeles, ca.1926. People crowd the streets as a trolley-car tries to pass.

Legible signs include: "Gilbert Thayer's", "Health For 100 Years", "Free Health Lectures", "Natural Foods", "Bonton 357", "Cloaks / Suits", "Gimbels", "D. Antonell / Merchant Tailor", "E.A. Huff M.D. / J.J. Hansen D.G.", "Chiropractor", "Leader", "Edison Building", "Homer Laughlin Building" and "Million Dollar".
