90s Block Main Street, Waverly, Iowa, c.1925. The view of the street looks west, with cars and trucks lining both sides and various people standing by the backs of vehicles. Trolley tracks run down the middle of a paved street, with two cars and a truck traveling east in the middle of the image. It is assumed there was an event happening based on the number of vehicles lining the streets.
NOTE: This photo and FI24217 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.
