This 1908 view records a Taft parade in New York, with a bagpipe band and a contingent labeled Central Dry Goods Division. William Howard Taft was the Republican nominee for president that year, and campaign parades like this one were a familiar sight on the city's streets. The photograph comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a news service that sold pictures to newspapers. The title comes from caption data that has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion is worth reading with some caution.
