[City ambulance, Dubuque, Iowa]

Loemker, Herman J., 1868-1937

A white truck is parked along the 1400 block of Main Street. The driver may be seen sitting behind the steering wheel. A sign which reads “Dubuque City Ambulance” has been painted on the side of the vehicle. A cross is visible in the window above the sign. A metal box and a small, dark-colored cylinder have been attached to the running board of the ambulance. This vehicle was the first city-owned motorized ambulance, and was purchased by the City of Dubuque in 1916. The number 1307 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
