The original image, of a parade in the 700 block of Water Street in Kerrville. Schreiner's store and bank are on the right hand side of the photo. |
"Wilkommen," and the musical lyre suggest this was a Saengerfest, or festival of the German singing societies of Kerrville and neighboring towns, such as Fredericksburg, Comfort, and Boerne |
Another tri-color flag, displayed from the Schreiner Wool Warehouse. Note the utility pole in the image. |
The Rector's building is shown in this shot. At the time it probably housed the Favorite Saloon. |
Spectators in front of the Schreiner store; note the "Magic Yeast" sign on the tree trunk. Magic Yeast was a product of the E W Gillett Company |
There appears to be a lantern or lamp in the center of this image, on a white post decorated with ribbon. |
In the top photo, there is a banner on the Schreiner store/bank building. The banner is on the front of the building and it also wraps around to the side of the building.
ReplyDeleteThe front section of the banner has a word printed on it. I cannot read it. It may be the name of the store (Schreiner), or it may be related to the parade.
Is anyone able to read the banner?
