This float was entered in the July 22, 1939 Golden Jubilee Parade by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce. In the back is a floral cornucopia with a young woman in a white or pastel dress sitting at the opening. Two other young women ride on the float and the driver's upper half, wearing a Jubilee hat, can be seen between the pair and the cornucopia, beside a bench. The float has a replica of the Narrows Bridge on the front. Around the sides are placards featuring Tacoma's accomplishments, either current or in the works in 1939, "The Nation's First Air Base" (McChord), "Portland Differential," "Highway Development," "Hylebos Waterway Development," "McNeil Island Purchased by Government," and "Tacoma Transportation Company."
