Steckbauer's studio, though they are not identified as such.  I'm not sure what the message on the float means, but could it have been some type of political theme?</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c4c8d180.jpg" border=0 width="1421" height="536" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c4e8cf20.jpg" border=0 width="1420" height="498" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> The following 5 pictures are also from the same time period and show a pair of traveling "trained" bears.  What I really enjoy about these are the number of children following these two drifters and their bears.  The animals appear to have a cage over their snouts, but I'm sure they still had their claws.  I guess safety wasn't too big of a concern back then.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c3d6b0c0.jpg" border=0 width="875" height="524" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c3f6d0f0.jpg" border=0 width="877" height="527" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c416e7b0.jpg" border=0 width="366" height="635" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="c4371780.jpg" border=0 width="369" height="632" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The image below is a modern reprint from Superior View in Marquette and shows the children again all lined up around the bears.</div> <div> I recommend you visit his store or search for his sales on eBay (I do) as he has many nice, high quality images of the Copper Country.</div> <div> <B>Image copyrighted by Superior View</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="c48d5520.jpg" border=0 width="725" height="594" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> This final image shows another group of boys (of course!) hanging around a wagon with animals, and from the stars and stripes decorations, I am guessing this was part of the 4th of July parade from above.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="c4a7a020.jpg" border=0 width="890" height="514" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
