History
The Murray Comic Club entered the Philadelphia New Years Parade in 1936 under the title of JA Murray Club. The club was founded by Harry W. Tyler and was sponsored by the Joseph A. Murray Beer Distributor. The membership was mostly made up of multiple generations of the Tyler and Herman families. Features included many children due to the strong family tradition. Many entries that competed were dressed as dudes and wenches.
