Gelatin print of the a crowd with the Navy Band from Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, during World War One. The image depicts the band on a podium decorated with bunting; flags; and a portrait of President Wilson, in front of the Athearn Hotel on High Avenue. A sign behind the band reads, "America Never Paid Tribute/And Never Will/[illegible] Bond". Several other signs read "Liberty Bonds". This was probably taken during one of the many Bond Drives. |
