Abstract
"That there was a financial value to the Blossom Festival parade is indicated by a statement made Saturday by Arthur Coffin, who was among the surprised citizens when the parade had passed. He is the owner of a ten acre orchard in the Fruitvale section which he had desired to sell. Feeling conditions were not right and that there was little or no enthusiasm among the people and that a period of stagnation had arrived, Mr. Coffin on Thursday decided to sell the ranch for $9,000. He watched the parade on Friday, saw the crowds on the street, talked with some and went back to his office and raised the price to $12,000 that that is what it will cost now to buy it."
