Scope and content
Children of Centennial Flouring Mills employees ride in a daffodil bedecked carriage holding streamers attached to a giant ornamental bag of flour during the 1950 Daffodil Parade. Centennial Mills, located on the water at 705 Dock St., manufactured flour, cereal, poultry and dairy feeds, dried peas and beans, and Frolic dog food. The 1950 parade lined up at South 17th and Jefferson for the 10:00a.m. kick off and moved up Broadway to So. 9th and then back down Pacific Ave. to 17th. Participants were then loaded on buses and trucks for later parades in Puyallup and Sumner. The floats were driven to the later parades under police escort.
