July 4, 1937

This photo features the "Storkmobile", the "Nurses Car"/Ambulance dressed up with a "stork" on the hood and banner on the panel sides for the Palmer July 4th parade with the theme that the Palmer hospital delivers "better babies". Standing in foreground before the decorated vehicle are uniformed nurses holding bundled babies (l to r) Mabel Rude, Marian Batdorf and Elsie Havens. Dr. Albrecht inspects the baby at right. The "Teacher's Dorm" is partially visible behind the car at right and staff housing is partially visible at left in front of the car.
