Loemker, Herman J., 1868-1937

A policeman with his back to the camera is seen directing a tandem float around a corner. The leading float is white and has a partially visible sign that reads “ LORD … ED THE HAB … MY HOUSE PSA 26-8. Several men are riding on this float. It is followed by a float carrying a miniature church with a steeple. A cross is on top of the steeple. Bricks, four arched windows and a circular window have been drawn on the exterior walls of the church. Shingles have been attached to the peaked roof.
