Description
This float displays the beacon stations of the Richfield Oil Company. Also on the float is a Richfield racing car made of carnations (a replica similar to the car used in the company's road advertising) as well as a miniature service station following Spanish architecture. One woman sits above the miniature service station at the back of the float and two other women sit below her. At the front of the float is a woman standing in a costume that appears to be a racing costume. There are houses in the background.
