The Industrial Parade

~
larger number of floats and displays
than ever, have been promised and this
year the parade will surpass by far
anything of its kind ever held on the
island. 1t will be divided up into five
sections this year and each section will
form on the cross streets at the upper
end of Anglesea SC as to avoid the con
fusion heretofore prevalent on the day
of parade as to where each should be.
Following are the divisions, subject
to change:
First-Mayors and councilmen in
carriages, municipal floats, municipal
departments and historical floats.
Second-Business floats and business
displays.
Third-Business wagons and hotel
wagons.
Fourth-Lodges, clubs, associations,
societies and comical.
Fifth-Private carriages and auto
mobiles.
The parade will start promptly at
two o'clock and all participants should
report to the marshals at First and
Pennsylvania avenues by Las to in
sure proper placing. 1t will help the
marshals greatly If they are notified by
eleven o'clock in the morning.
The judges stand will be located at
the Holly Beach borough hall and any
participant leaving the line before it is
disbanded will be debarred from receiv-
ing any prizes.
The route of parade will be to form
on Central avenue, north to Walnut
avenue, to New Jersey avenue, to First
avenue, to Central avenue, to 18th
street, to Pennsylvania (Atlantic)
nue., to Wild wood avenue, to Philsdel-
phia avenue, to Oak avenue, to Attain
tic avenue, to Cedar avenue, to Pacific

There will be lots of music, as about
four or five bands will be in line besides
the orchestras, fife and drum corps and
bugle corps.
Everybody should pull together to
make this a big success and this they
can do by working hard and the island
will be greatly benefited by their efforts.
Everybody is also requested to decorate
the homes and buildings for the occa-
sion.
