| Abstract: | 1930's photograph depicting a Department of Sanitation Float. |
| Description: | On the float are two Department of Sanitation workers; a White Wing with
a carry can and a driver in a Department of Sanitation car. Also atop
the float is a sign labeled "Gateway to Health" over a pair of
gates and a sign labeled, "Clean Up Coney Island 30,000 Treated
for Cuts Last Year!" Also pictured on the float is a rubbish bin
labeled "paper," which probably represents an early effort to
encourage separating garbage and recycling. The float itself is labeled
at the bottom in large letters, "Department of Sanitation. The
float is located on a residential street, the specific borough is
unknown, but it could possibly be in Brooklyn, due to the mention of
Coney Island. |
