| Abstract: | A scan of a black and white photograph of a Sanitation Department parade float. |
| Description: | Source: Robin Nagle. An 8" x 10" black and white photograph
found grouped with other photographs in a sleeve titled "Parades
& Cleanup." Photographer is unknown and there is no date
listed. Robin Nagle believes the photo was likely taken circa World War
II. Float reads "Our Objective - A Clean City Department of
Sanitation." The parade appears to be ticker-tape parade, but the
purpose of the parade is unknown. Unidentified object on top of the
float; readable words: "Disease," "Dirt," and
"Dust." There appear to be four men standing on the float -
three are dressed in civilian clothing (suits or a shirt and slacks) and
one appears to be in uniform. The float is passing by a grandstand full
of men and women who appear to be somewhat formally dressed. |
