VIEWING THE CROWD Incidents Seen and Heard On the Streets and In Park. In Front of the Reviewing Stand The Hoover Company convention parade on Tuesday morning was the largest in point of marchers, floats and sightseer's. ever held by the company, and as the several thousand employe: inarched along the streets, to the music of bands, they could sec that all the business section and private houses were gaily deco rated with (lags and bunting in honor of the occasion. It was not merely a large number of persons walking U; and down the street. It was a parade organized for the purpos- of showing tlie wonderful resources and development of th. Hoover Sweeper and the close step the Hoover company is keeping in the line of progress. Each float told its own story, and like the chapters in an historical novel the facts were all there concerning the-time and place with just enough dash of color to make the picture interesting. And just as a readable book should be, the ending was happy, for the Hoover Sweeper had swept away the worries of life and left the carpets and rugs bright and clean for the bride and bridegroom. PARADE IN REVIEW With reviewing stand, sidewalks, porches and windows lined with people, the big Hoover parade, headed by Police Officers P. F. Talley and Ray Bechtel and the Hoover Band, started on East Maple street, turned north on Main and gaily swung along to the applause and cheers of the onlookers to the town limits, then turned south on Main and marched to the Chevrolet Sales and Service garage and thence to Witwer street and the City Park. Moving picture men and private Kodak snappers were busy, and hundreds of photographs will soon be in circulation showing what a wonderful day it was in North Can ton. Consisted of Four Units The parade consisted of four units, Sales and Visiting Unit, Hoover Personnel Unit, Float Unit and business Men's Unit, comprising eignt divisions. The first division was subdivided into seventeen sections and had as lieutenants Henry Kline and Earl Herbruck. The first section was a mass fiag formation, representing America.. Canada, Great Britain, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. These flags were carried by li."... The Float That Had Them Guessing Boy Scouts. The Hoover Company executives followed with delegations. These men were visitors and not salesmen. The North Canton Band pla.\ ing lively tunes war- followed by Division No. 1200, who are the representatives from countries from over the world, and close behind them came the Canadian representatives. ."MISSIONARY FLOAT Division 1100 were the Southern representatives from Georgia, 'Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. This division had with it the fh\st float in the parade. It resembled a sour horn home and the house servants, a colored mammy and a maid, were discouraged over the drudgery of the house work and felt that they had worn themselves almost to death trying to keep clean. Their discouraged attitude was shown by the banner the float carried: "Our Years Are Numbered." The Hoover salesman steps in and shows the real missionary spirit which helps them to a brighter, happier life, eliminating drudgery and giving them much needed rest and renewed interest in living. The Missionary Monks of the early day represented the missionary sales nen who bring freedom from drudgery to present day folks as the ones of old brought happiness to those to whom they ministered. DEMON DEMONSTRATORS Division S00 was unique in the fact that its members had earned the title of "The Twenty-eight Point Demon. Demonstrators." Twenty-eight men were in this division and their year's work had landed them in this exclusive class. They came from Michigan. Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota and carried banners with pictures of his satanic majesty. SCENE FROM THE OCEAN Division 900 were men from Washington, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana and California. This division was also accompanied by a float which represented a bathing scene and upon the beach were real bathing beauties who scattered information as they passed of the wonderful states in which they live. Divisions 800, 700, (500, and 500 marched, carrying many banners, each with a captain of a nature sug gestive of the quality and value of the Hoover Sweeper. GIRLS IN SAIL BOAT Division 400 were men from Virginia and West Virginia. The float for this division resembled a sail boat and the sailors proclaimed through their banner that "We are not sailors but we make sales. Two girls sailed the boat, which moved along with the rocking motion caused by- real waves. This division were all dressed as sailors in white suits. Sub division .300 was composed of representatives from Washington, D. C, and Maryland. 200 followed and represented New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These men wore suits of blue and upon the left arm a band designatnig their division. Section 13 was composed of a fife and drum corps numbering M in dark uniforms and Stepping well to their marching rythm. PURITANS IN LINE The fourth float was known as "The Puritan Float." It was a .-eerie of a room from a Puritan house and a woman of that period. Hor constant companion, an ohl fashioned split broom of the Puritan day beside the big spinning wheel which emphasized the hard work anil crude manner of home making and house cleaning of that period. The Hoover Sweeper [Continued on page four] After the moving picture men had withdrawn from the scene, H. W. Hoover mounted the platform in City- Park and said he would introduce one they all knew—"The Boss." W. H. Hoover—The Boss—said he was glad to greet such an audience, and then he instantly won the big crowd by his reference to conventions and himself as the "keynoter" who was going to "point with pride to the achievements of the Hoover company and the men and women around him during the past four year:-;." As political conventions are still fresh in the minds of the public his timely quotations of "pointing with pride," although "not \iewing with alarm," and "mindful of the road we have traveled," "realizing our full responsibility to the public," brought loud laughter and applause, and having thus captured his audience with a couple of .sentences he became mor;.* serious, and said that while the other conventions were national this one was international and that the men were here by. reason of merit and that their advancement was due to their vision, their accuracy anil their ability to do things worth while. From beyond the seas, from our sister Canada, from the east, from the west, from the north and from the south came delegates to this 'convention. We are here, he said, after making history and planning to make more history. Praise for North Canton There was no note of banter in his voice as he said: "I want you all to know that we live in the greatest community to be found anywhere (applause). The evidence you meet as you walk along our streets. This spirit is commendable, and it is a joy and pleasure to live with them at ah times. "Now, a word for the Hoover company organization. It is busy, not only during this convention, but at all times to give service to the people. It not only throws the barrage, but it is steadily on the firing line, and I want to express my appreciation to the officers and heads of departments and to all the men and women connected with the Hoover organization. Let us not forget the other ones, thc dealers, who have placed one million five hundred thousand Hoover sweepers in the homes. "A movement so great as this convention certainly deserves our serious consideration, and we shall profit by example. It will free us from envy and bossism. So it is with great pleasure that I name our leader, General Goodwill, (applause). A path of peace and pleasure is my platform which I trust will be yours as well as mine. 'Get Together' is the slogan! Can you think of any work in life more noble than getting together for a good purpose. 'Get Together' and let us work effectively together; let us play together. To this beloved community I also say, 'Get Together' socially and religiously. Let us work in harmony, in the spirit of love ami co-operation. Eliminate blocs and other undesirable things. I say to you that God made us all to be one people, and we are trying to defeat God's purpose if we harbor haired, religious or social. 'Let us be faithful, truthful and loyal, If we are God will bless us and amply reward us." (applause). boy scouts¥line Looked Nifty As They Marched Carrying Many Flags. A number of Boy Scout.-; acted as- color bearers in the parade, and right classy the youngsters looked bearing aloft the flags of fhe nations whose o;1 ir.e-ns use the Hoover sweeper. Those in the company were: Fred Hall, Orval Mollett, William Conley, Giles Conley, Donald Lantry, Lyall DeLong, Ralph Brown, Frederick Roberts. One of the big "hits" was the float carrying a number of women playins-- bridge, gossiping and "hanging out the wash." The clothesline with a number of pieces of linen drying in the air made everyone laugh. "Says I to Louie, it ain't me that gossips about my neighbors, but if my husband acted like that man across the street I'd hit him with something anil then leave him." * * * The repast served to three thousand five hundred persons in fhe park was most efficietly done. Each person was presented with a dinner nicely- done up in a lunch box which contained two kinds of sandwiches, baked beans, olives, pickles, cup cakes, ice cream, banana and orange. Lemonade was served in several parts of the park, free to all. * * * .**» Ben Braucher, traffic manager, tried to buy a felt hat to wear in the "parade but could get none large enough, so the whole department had to wear straw hats. This time of year straw is plentiful and Ben found one big enough. Even though hie cranium is large, hi.s head isn't swelled; so what's the odds. * * * Pretty girls everywhere! Peaches of the choicest variety! On sidewalks, in the line of march, in automobiles and en floats! And the visitors ha<; a keen eye for the beautiful. "Some .stunning looking, classy girls in ♦ his part of Stark county,'' remarked a ic-loga.c from Brooklyn, New Yoik, the home of handsome women. * * * Never again will we "knock" the Weather Man. Fur weeks he had been handing out a brand t ~ *lu(f that was anything hut "fine . clear," al though in justice to n.m he did come across handsomely and permit the fireworks display and the fourth to resemble the Volstead act. Then, but. we're not "knocking." Although a curtain of cloud was drawn across the sky early in the morning and prudent folk kept umbrellas at hand the Weather Man dispelled their fears by sending across friendly breezes and a mild sun. Altogether it was a pretty good sample of July weather and it was in agreeable contrast to other days—but we're not "knocking." * •» * When the moving picture men got ready for work in thc City Park they faced a scene of beauty that would be hard to duplicate. Several thousand men and women, garbed in al! the colors of the rainbow, occupied seats, and with hundreds of fluttering flags of many nations it resembled a World Court of chivalry and grace. * * * North Canton's pride, the large modern fire truck, was an inspiriii!' sight to residents and visitors as it followed in the parade. And it was equipped to instantly dash to a fire had one occurred. It made everyone feel that this town is ready to cope with, a blaze, big or little. That truck means security. * * * The Executives Secretaries' float was a pretty part of the parade and one's imagination traveled some distance from the gay scene of their environment on Tuesday to the serious work done by them during the working hours of their everyday life. * * * The Clown Band. You saw it, of course! The boy comes out in the man at times no matter how many years he has seen. Under those many colored clown costumes were hidden some of the staid family men of North Canton. Yes, it is hard to believe considering the antics they staged in the line of march. They added to the enjoyment of life for which they are entitled to at least a "Thank you." » * * Marshal John Kaufman kept the streets open, as he gently warned auto drivers, and Jim LeBeau, as special cop, kept the Square from becoming congested. Business Men and Women Make Splendid Appearance Headed By the Legion Band and Their Own Float They Prove That They Are Solidly Lined Up With the Hoover Company. Headed by the Legion Band of Canton tlie business men and women of North Canton marched with their own float in the Hoover parade, and it was a float that received instant attention. It represented a large World on the top of which was North Canton. The captions over this were "Cleanest Place on Earth," "Clean Homes," "Clean Business" and "It prospers as it co-operates as it co-ordinates." North Canton was also the line over the cab. The float had a splendid significance being typical of the unity which exists between the business people and the' Hoover Company. A fine appearing crowd are the men and women active in the commercial life of this town, and headed by the public officials they stepped along at a lively pace, proud in the fact that they are an important factor in helping to develop the community spirit so dear to the heart of tlie Hoover company. Dressed in straw hats, white shirts, black neckties and dark trousers and carrying parasols with the national colors the men looked neat, natty and business like, and they received "a hand" from the spectators at many points. The ladies wore dark skirts, white middies, black neckties and carried parasols. If any town can produce a better-looking, or more classy-looking group of women than those engaged in the business life of North Canton then The Sun is willing to send a staff writer and staff photographer to that place, although in truth we do not think we will be called upon to spend our hard earned cash for railroad tickets. Chairman Frank Gross led the business men and women and lie was ably assisted by Irvin Moose and Irvin Rover, as lieutenants. Bathing Scene With California Crowd * * * And the calliope played on! * * * The war scenes in the big demonstration wore used to convey a Message of Peace, exemplifying the fact that the only war that is justifiable is war on drudgery and uncleanlines ■ and the fight should he for the uplift of humanity. * * * .Ml the people who watched ('".' parade noticed the lieutenants wli..> headed the eight divisions. Each lieutenant was responsible for the sue cess of carrying out the plans of hi.- own division, and men who can complete and carry out the details of such, a demonstration will carry about with them a personality that is noticeable anywhere. * * + Well, well, well! We almost overlooked you, Bill! The Great Announcer and Introducer of Celebrities, large and small, was on deck as usual, as grand marshal of the day. W. J. grows younger with each convention, and he hopped around like a stake colt waiting for the signal to go. * * * Sure, North Canton gets there when it starts to do something. GOES TO SCOUT CAMP Fred Hall Will In the Spend the Summer Wilderness. Fred Hall, who carried the large American flag in the Hoover parade when he marched with other Boy Scouts, departed this Wednesday morning for the Boy Scout camp in the wilderness near Zoarville, where he will remain until it is time to ring the school bell in North Canton. Fred spent the last three weeks at" the Y. M. C. A. camp at Turkeyfoot, and he is "strong" for the out-door life. The camp in the wilderness is a wonderful place, and the Scout executives are among the really big business and professional men o,f Stark county. They contribute time and money to advance the rising generation, and they feel amply rewarded when the boys make good. Since the dam was built the swimming is excellent, and no one can forget the Wilderness Camp after once seeing it. o A. J. GILL'S BIRTHDAY An agreeable surprise was tendered A. J. Gill, at his home on Harman court on Tuesday evening, the occasion being the G2nd anniversary of his birth. His children and their families comprised the party. ^i$£^mmmmwti*^,w t# * ¥« .■& I Missionary Float With Southern Division
