Scope and content
Narrows Bridge - McChord Field Parade, Carsten's Packing Company float. The Carsten's Packing Co.'s float delighted parade watchers on July 1, 1940, with its bowing giant ham and lovely attendants. A man wearing a large white chef's hat may be steering the vehicle. A Richards photographer captured the rose-strewn float as it passed the Northern Laundry & Dye Works on Jefferson Avenue. (T. Times, 7-2-40, p. 1)
