Notes:

1. "The Arcade View Co., 741 Fifth St., San Diego, Cal." press-printed in caps on left back of some.
2. "Arcade View Co." hand printed on front of a few (most don't say Arcade at all.)
3. Hand printing on front is quite distinctive: backsloping upper & lower case letters, lower case "t" doesn't cross to left, lower case "d" has horiz flag to left at top, lower case "g" often has bottom loop which points to left.
4. Cards which say "Founded (year)" are photos of mission floats taken during the parade.
