THE ROSE QUEEN OF 1935
MISS MURIEL COWAN
Folks, it is with some pride that I present a photo cover entitled THE ROSE QUEEN OF 1935, Miss Muriel Cowan, 17 years old, who presides over the New Year’s Day Tournament of Roses at Pasadena as cited and saved from an old American Pictorial magazine.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the history of our ancestors. During my research, I discovered that hundreds of our important memorabilia lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because old American women rodeo memorabilia were printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
I hope you appreciate the effort.
There were many pictorials published – the common ones are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this one covering great movie stars of our time never make it. They are hard to find. Collectors treasure them. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of the best.

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD HISTORY. What a Rare Item!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was saved from this old American pictorial magazine of many years ago. This page is (9 by 12 inches) and the ORIGINAL 78-YEAR-OLD page in excellent condition. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story saved from a rarely found and seldom read American pictorial magazine. Thanks,
Tom
