Osceola Commerce Club Band
Image
Elevated view of the Commercial Club Band posing at a rail yard with a newly arrived shipment of McCormick-Deering ball-bearing cream separators. The cream separators have been unloaded in crates onto International trucks. Large advertising posters for McCormick-Deering cream separators are mounted on the side of the rail car and on one of the trucks. The event likely was arranged by an International Harvester dealer as a public relations event.
