Twenty Second National Orange Show, San Bernardino, California

 

circa 1932

 

Tichnor Brothers, Cambridge, Massachusetts

The date February 18, 1932 is appended to the title at the bottom of this color card devoted to oranges and orange blossoms. The image in the middle is of a Persian-style pavilion made of oranges, with two women weaving a rug in the center and a fountain in the front. The National Orange Show Building housing the exposition opened in 1925. Although it burned in 1949, subsequent buildings were constructed on the same property. On the back the message space is almost completely filled. First there is a printed paragraph about the annual orange show explaining that "the 1932 exposition commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington with patriotic decoratoins blending with decorations of the Olympic Games." Below that is a rubber-stamped promotional notice of "Free Admission" said to be included on the "Tanner & Gray Line Tours." At the bottom the note "Olympic Games--Los Angeles, 1932" stretches across the card in large print. A number at the top of the dividing line on the back is 133303.
