This image is one of at least seven thought to have been taken at Olympia, Washington. They were once sold by P. M. McClintock. In the other photos there's some building signage visible that indicates that this print was made backwards. Bradbury thought that they were made about 1922, the first year that Barnes utilized some parade wagons decorated with carvings bought out of the Bode Wagon Company. They must be 1922 or 1923, if Tusko was in quarters in 1924, the last year that the show paraded [I believe.]
