Photograph of the Examiner Christmas Tree, showing a park at night, 1928. The extremely tall tree stands at center with long, bright lights streaming down its branches. Brighter bulb lights spot the tree also. The tree seems to stand in a grass park with a decorated brick wall at left. A Ford Brakes store can be seen in the background at right. A tall building stands behind decorative lights in the left background.
