The Pasadena Board of Trade precursor to today’s Pasadena Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1888. It was conceived to promote a positive business climate in Pasadena and it was an early collaborator with the Valley Hunt Club in Pasadena’s New Year events. In 1895 when the Valley Hunt Club determined it was unable to continue staging the Rose Parade the Board of Trade saved the event and initiated the formation of the Tournament of Roses Association. It is also credited with proposing the construction of the Colorado Street Bridge across the Arroyo Seco then leading the effort to design finance and construct the iconic structure. Minor stain to the inner margin with a bit of toning and light wear to the wrappers and page edges. Very good. Press of the Leonard Company, 1904. unknown
