The caption reads: "The above picture, taken from the roof of the Bradford Co-Operative Storage Ltd., shows only a section of the trucks, large and small, which formed the huge cavalcade of Holland Marsh growers and their vehicles, just before they moved off on their trek to Toronto City Hall to present to Mayor McCallum several truck-loads of vegetables for Toronto orphanages and the Hospital for Sick Children. Approximately 125 trucks made up a procession, about a mile and a quarter in length, which went right through with motorcycle police from Bradford to the City Hall without a stop."

His daughter, Mrs. Doris Church, who submitted these photos, recalls that her father would get up at 2 a.m. to feed the horse and load the wagon. The dairy in town at that time, Cousins (south of the Royal Bank, now Ingoglia's), provided all the dairy products for Bradford. In winter, before the town plowed any of the roads, the sleigh would be pressed into service, Mrs. Church said. Mrs. Carol Lund, Mrs. Church's daughter, is the little girl in the photo."
