Scope and content
Thousands of spectators crowded the streets of Tacoma to watch the Tacoma Jubilee parade on June 25, 1946. Many of the floats carried candidates for the title of Jubilee Queen, including this old touring car sponsored by Griffin Fuel Company. It carried "Lulubelle". The men in the car stated "Lulubelle was a little too fresh." Lulubelle is really Einar Stenhommer, next to Lulu is Len Wilson, driving the car is Lyle Olson and on the right is Ralph Lewis . Tacoma enjoyed the 1939 Washington State Golden Jubilee celebration so much that the city decided to hold a Jubilee in 1946 that commemorated absolutely nothing. (T. Times, 6/26/46, p. 1).
