A Very Good copy. A charming commemorative booklet that celebrates the 1935 Tournament of Roses Parade (also known simply as the Rose Parade) held every New Year's Day in Pasadena, California (or on January 2 if New Year's falls on a Sunday). Most of the booklet comprises printed photographic illustrations of scenes from the 1935 Rose Parade and portrait illustrations of people associated with the event. Many of the illustrations show the botanical floats that features in the Parade. Most, if not all, of these illustrations have captions. Two brief articles recount the outcome of the 1935 Rose Bowl where the football teams of Alabama University and Stanford University played against each other (Alabama won). Other features in the booklet honor Pasadena's Municipal Administration and the Pasadena Police. Inside of front cover advertises Pasadena's Maryland Hotel. Inside of back cover promotes The Town House, a multilevel property containing residential units and hotel rooms. A few other advertisements are included. Back cover promotes Grace Line cruises.
