During the annual "Downtown Dollar Days" held every fall, shoppers were usually loaded down with packages from many of the Downtown Los Angeles stores, as seen here. View 1: A female shopper has so many packages that she can barely climb onto the Pacific Electric streetcar. A train conductor tries to help her up onto the stairs. A poster for the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona is visible along the side of the train below two male passengers, which can be seen at the rear windows. Photo dated: September 1, 1933.
