Incredible photos from the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade

Around $4 attend the Macy's Thanksgiving parade in New York City every year. $4 more tune in to watch it from home.

Before it became the national spectacle it is today, the first parade in 1924 was a relatively modest assembly of Macy's workers, elephants, monkeys, camels, Broadway performers, and small floats.

Take a look at archive photos of Macy's first parade.
