90s Block Main Street, Waverly, Iowa, c.1925. View looking west of cars lining both sides of the street. People line both sides of the street and side street corners crossing Main Street.
NOTE: This photo and FI0024222 were probably taken on 4 April 1923 during a promotion by local merchants known as "Ford Day in Waverly." A parade was held at 10:00 am and many prizes were given to people driving Fords in various categories that included: fattest couple, girl with the reddest hair, noisiest Ford, the best looking flapper in a Ford with bobbed hair and knickers, hungriest man, largest loads of Democrats and Republicans coming in a Ford, and boy with the most freckles.
