A Salvation Army parade moves along the intersection of Spring Street and 1st Street, outside the Los Angeles Times Building on 1st. The old State Building (now demolished) on Spring also features prominently in the image. The photograph's angle was most likely taken from an elevated point at City Hall on 200 North Spring Street. Pedestrians and spectators line the sidewalks.The parade includes: flagbearers, who appear to be police officers, waving American flags as they walk; a float with a globe on it and people dressed in various cultures of the world; a marching band; automobiles; and more walking processioners. Salvation Army General Evangeline Booth and her Army membership were in Los Angeles for the parade, and met in congress to discuss their World for God campaign in which they hoped to add a million more members. Mayor Frank Shaw and many Los Angeles citizens welcomed them to the city.
