Description
A pair of soapbox cars in front of town hall. These cars are wooden and conical in shape. They both have four small wooden wheels. Two boys sit in the drivers' seats. A man stands shaking the hand of the leftmost boy. The sign above them reads "POLICE" and points to the right, where the police in St. Marys are based. The left car is decorated with a lightning bolt, while the right car has "Clarke's Hardware" written on both sides. This photo was taken for the Stratford Beacon Harald.
Notes
Photo negatives are unevenly cut, leading to some of the image being lost around the edges.
