Scope and content
Golden Jubilee Parade on July 22, 1939, celebrating Washington's fifty years of statehood. A "beary" interesting truck, offered by Buck & Bowers Tire & Oil Co., appears to be pulling a miniature truck, entered by Cavanaugh Lumber. The front truck has a bare tree in the back bed, in which a person in a bear suit with a bear mask is sitting. A bear's head also adorns the hood. A large banner on the side of the truck "We're bears for service." The miniature truck is labelled Cavanaugh Lumber, "Cavanaugh has a plan!" Buck & Bowers was located at 114 Puyallup Ave. They were the distributors of Dayton automobile tires, sunset gasoline, automobile accessories and farm equipment. Parker J. Buck was president. Cavanaugh Lumber Co. was located at 1423 Puyallup Ave. Cecil C. Cavanaugh was the owner. They sold lumber, building materials, paints, and builders' hardware.
