Scope and content
The Tacoma Safety Council's "Horror Parade," also called the Safety Show parade. The parade was intended as a macabre reminder of the fruits of careless and reckless driving. The first prize winner was this wrecked automobile in tow with a person portraying an accident victim laying across seat with a sign saying, "Oh Why ! Didn't I Get My Brakes Repaired Yesterday?" (T. Times 2/26/1937, pg. 1)
