Description:: Photograph of the "Circus Days" float, entered by the Standard Oil Co. of California, in the Tournament of Roses Parade (Pasadena Rose Parade). The float is constructed in several sections and is headed by a floral covered elephant ridden by a live circus girl. The words "Circus Days" are spelled out in flowers on the platform. The elephant is followed by two elaborate cage wagons and a floral giraffe standing on a platform with imitation trees and shrubs. An additional float is viewed in the background. Banners with rose designs hang above the Pasadena street alongside banners with iconic illustrations and text reading "Childhood Memories." Throngs of spectators line the parade route that is populated by businesses - including a Bank of America, Save Way Drug, and Mobil gas station (signs out of view in this image). One building advertises "Real Estate" above its portico.
