In honor of Independence Day, here is an older postcard highlighting the Redwood City parade. There is no date on the card but judging by the clothes, car and type of postcard it is probably from the 1960s or 70s. Help me out if you can pin-point the date better.
The card was produced by the Lock Drug Company who according to the card had 3 stores in Redwood City and Foster City. They aren't in Redwood City anymore and difficult to find if they still exist as a company.
The inscription on the card reads,

“Independence Day Parade in Redwood City, California, moving along Broadway’s business district. It has been held since 1939 under the sponsorship of a group of public-minded citizens. Through the participation of bands, floats, and marching units from others areas of the West, it has become the largest Fourth of July Parade in California."
Happy Fourth!!! See you at the parade.
