Fitch tractor

Glendale, AZ 1917. This float was built on a Fitch Four-Wheel Drive Tractor, which is pulling a hay wagon. The Masons, Eastern Star and Fitch agents Fred Walsh and Charles Juncker sponsored the float. Juncker, a local blacksmith, is second from the right and Bill Cofflet, his apprentice, is on the right. The other two men are unidentified. A short time after this parade, Coffelt joined the Marines and went to Washington state for basic training and Juncker went to work in a shipyard in San Francisco for several months.
