1. Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo of a parade float that was part of the Detroit Bi-Centenary Parade

Description:
Photograph. Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo of a parade float that was part of the Detroit Bi-Centenary Parade. The float consists of a minimally-decorated wagon that is being drawn by two horses and which is carrying a large balance scale. Two men are seated on the wagon. An arch-shaped sign over the top notes "The Standard Computing Scale Co., Ltd.; Manufacturers of Computing Scales; Detroit, Mich." Two smaller signs note "Grocers Favorite" and "Butchers Favorite." A brick apartment building is visible in the background, but the street name is not known. At the lower right side of the photo, a man is standing on the street beside a stack of clay sewer pipe sections.
