Parade
At 10 o’clock the big parade,
which had assembled at the Oil
Mill Garage, started to move.
City Marshal J. M. Canon, carry-
ing aloft “Old Glory,” with the
director of the parade, Elo Wol-
ters and the President of the
Fair, M. I. Bozka to his right
and left, mounted on fine steeds
led the beautiful caravan. Then
came Michna’s band. Fire Chief
Richter and Mayor E. Runk oc-
cupied seats of honor on the
superb new $8000 fire pumper.
The chemical engine and hook
and ladder trucks completed
Shiner’s excellent fire fighting
apparatus display. Kolar-Stanek
Post 201 was represented by a
surpassingly beautiful “Dove of
Peace” car, with spread wings
“flying” its message of “peace,
good will to men” out into silent
spaces. The car was occupied by
Post Commander O. S. T. Mey-
er and Adjutant R. H. Valenta.
A coupe, solidly massed in red
white and blue was the entry of
the Legion Auxiliary and was
driven by Mrs. Thomas Hughs
and Miss Mabel Merrem.
The Gulf Refining Co. enter-
ed a rustic suggestion in which
were displayed their products.
The Magnolia Filling Stations
were represented with a car in
their colors of red and blue and
profusely decorated in Magnolia
blossoms.
The Texaco Products were dis-
played to advantage in their red
truck with green and patriotic
trimmings.
The Eastern Star v as resplen-
dent in their colors, with a large
central star, around which 5
beautiful little girls in colors of
the star points and arm bouquets
of emblematic flowers were
grouped.
The O, D. H. S. Sister Lodge
entered a very handsome boat
effect in their colors of black,
red and yellow on a white back-
ground. A profusion of oak leaves
fringed the edges. A score of
pretty little girls in Lodge colors
finished the adornment.
The O.D.H.S. -float in' similar
colors, was very striking as a
companion and little boys made
attractive its striking appear-
ance. A very appealing as well
as pretty entry was that of
Walter Garbade’s roadster com-
pletely covered with gray moss,
relieved with red roses. Miss
Mae Blohm shared the car with
him.

A. J. BLOHM, Mgr.
SHINER, ... TEXAS.
Juluis Koniakovsky entered
his big house-boat filled with
little boys, dressed as painters,
and distributing literature for
Great Western Paint. Curt
Messer costumed as Kangaroo
drove this “Special.”
B. J. Novak entered a car
with 12 little children all ages,
the slogans reading, “A dozen
reasons for Life Insurance.”
The firm of Rose nwasser and
Ruben entered “Roses”—and
trimming and back ground were
in, rose color;
“The Pioneers” was the theme
of twentieth Century Club.
Miss Elsie Dziewas at the spin-
ning wheel and Mrs. E. G.
Buske with her knitting, both in
Colonial costumes, made a very
pretty picture.
To the delight of all, the par-
ade carried its “comic magazine
section.” Harry Muecke’s strip-
ped Ford, Otto Fisseler and Olan
Mittanck’s truck and trailer and
the “Tin Lizzie” of A. J. Bednar,
all came in for the hearty laughs
they so creditably deserved.
Then the clown or hobo band—
Misses Fern Richter, inline
Zappe and E. A. Zappe, mount-
ed on _donkeys; with accord eons,
making music in the air, added
a touch of color.
The antiquated surrey of John-
nie Kasper’s, with Paul Kempe’s
white mule (striped as a Zebra)
hitched to samffi-and Paul Ber-
ckenhoff with guns and amuni-
tion on back seat, will not soon
be forgotton. Their slogan was
“from the Jungles of Africa to
the Shiner Fair.”
Hood Tires entered a mule
drawn basket phaeton in purple
and pellow. In contrast to the
clown entries came the pretty
float of the Civic League, a pink
rose. A score of little girls as
pink buds with green petal caps
filled the spacious truck as
though seated in the heart of a
rose.
One of the outstanding entries
of the parade was the truck of
the Purity Creamery. It looked
like a bank of snow in its solid
white covering of fringed crepe
paper. In the center was a large
green basket, filled with snow
white lillies, representing their
“White Lily Butter.” Misses
Edna Sauer and Lorene Koerner,
robed in white, stood on either
side of the huge basket, while
four little white clad golden
haired babies occupied the four
corners. The truck was driven
by C. J. Waldrep, owner of the
Creamery.
Garbade Lumber Co. entered
a very elaborate Pagoda effect
advertising Sherwin Williams
Paints. There was evidence of
much time and work in perfect-
ing this design. C. B. Welhausen
& Co. entered an artistic crea-
tion of pink pom pons and blue
birds. Misses Evelyn Dreyer,
Wilma Hillje, Florine and Earl-
ine Berckenhoff, handsomely
gowned, typified the* exquisite
line of ladies dresses handled by
this firm.
The blue and gold float enter-
ed by the P. T. A. was a very
handsome entry. Between the
prettily blended decorations,
could be seen the instructor and
school children from primary to
Seniors in cap and gown.
Wolters Bros. Co. was an ideal-
ly beautiful design in a Japanese
effect. Snugly reclining, under
shaded japanese parasols, were
Misses Ella Stratman, Francis
Zak, Mesdames Victor and Elo
Wolters, costumed as Japanese
maidens in colors whose delicate
hues were a perfect harmony.
Wendtland & Son was a
white fringed effect, with a re*
lief of immense pink poppies
with orchid centers. Misses
Marie Lahodny, Vlasta Novak,
Louise Thulemeyer, vlrs. Wm
Wendtland Jr. were gowned in
blending shades, wearing large
picture hats of pink and orchid.
Wm Wendtland Jr. was chaffeur
for this array of charming
beauty.
Patek’s band occupied a posi-
tion in the centre of parade.
A truck greatly appreciated
was that driven by Joe Hughs It
was completely swamped with
products of the farms of Joe and
Miss Mae Hughs, Mrs. C. C. Ams-
ler and Mrs. Callie Fry. The pro-
ducts were all raised on these
farms, including the driver and
4 small sons of Robt. Claus, Paul
Tenberg, Emil and Otto Renken
who cultivate the farms. The
little fellows were enjoying lus-
cious home grown peaches. A
frieze of green grapes made the
canopy above them, while the
truck was tier upon tier of gar-
den and field products, and all
kinds of grain. It certainly evi-
denced diversication and show-
ed much ingenuity in its profit-
able arrangement.
