- Description:
- Photograph of an all female marching band and Ladies' Auxiliary groups marching in the annual parade of the California-Nevada Department, Grand Army of the Republic. They are lead by a five member band - two playing wood-wind instruments, three playing drums and bass drum. They wear dark military caps embroidered with "OUV," dark colored jackets and white skirts. They are followed by women wearing white military caps, blouses with ties, vests, and skirts. Additional women's groups proceed behind them. The procession follows Wilshire Boulevard and is captured nearing 3rd Street. Automobiles are parked along the commercial thoroughfare in front of a two-story building with a variety of stores on the ground floor. Signs on the building and printed on awnings read: "Medical Building," “[The D.B Wright Invest]ment… [Real Estate Insurance] Rentals… 321...Estate,” “Marinello” “Health Foods... 325 Santa Monica Health Food Co.,” “Medical Building 327; “…Shoppe” and “Templeman’s.” An additional store front (name illegible) sits next to a corner space drug store. Farther down the street, a Texaco gas station and its sign are viewed next to the Leon Apartments.
