Scope and content
The "Famous Reichmuth Family" plays Swiss tunes for the crowd from the back of a flatbed truck during the Golden Jubilee Parade, July 22, 1939. Their regular location to perform was the Swiss Village at 1318 Broadway, where they played old-time Swiss and Scandinavian tunes for the dancers' enjoyment. The parade entry was also sponsored by Whitworth Fuel Co., 2513 No. Proctor, and Oil Sales & Service Co., 764 Commerce St. A lone child stands in the street beside the truck. The crowd can be seen in the background, 5-6 layers deep.
