Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "4—H—Float 4th 59" in handwriting. The image shows a wide dirt lot, captured diagonally. At left there is a low brown building bearing a sign reading "F.M.S. Electronics Division." Parked cars surround the structure. A float sits stationary in the center of the image, a truck bed pulled by a tractor (unseen out of the left side of the frame). The truck bed bears a depiction of a barn with a number of men in cowboy hats sitting in front of it. A sign attached to the left side of the truck bed reads "We'll put our stake in the 49th state." Another sign attached to the front of the truck bed reads "Mendenhall 4—H Club." The number "18" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
