Merchants'
Parade Proves
Colorful Event
Large Array of Handsome and Artis
tic Floats Prepared for Cri-
day Parade cf Carnival.
The merchants parade, featuring
the third day of the King Korn Kar
nival, was one that drew out a very
large number of the residents from
all sections of the county to line the
course of the pageant down Main
street from Seventh to Richey street.
The various business houses of the
city were represented in the line of
colorful floats, cars and machinery
that formed the long glowing line
of beauty.
A large number of the business
houses had prepared very elaborate
and colorful floats to represent their
lines of business and added to the
beauty of the floats were many of
the charming and popular young
ladies of the community as a part of
the floats.
A number of ihz. business houses
had humorous themes for their part
in the parade and which brought
much laughter along the line of the
route of the parade.
Several Omaha wholesale houses
were represented as well as local
auto and farm machinery agencies.
This parade is sponsored by the
Plattsmouth people and there is no
prize awarded for the most attractive
floats, the task of arranging them
being purely a matter of interest in
the success of the community enter
prise, in which they deserve the
greatest commendation.
The American Legion drum and
bugle corps, with their usual fine
spirit, were on the job to head the
parade.
