Photograph of the Besse-Ashworth Co. parade float in the Bangor Carnival Trades Procession. "Drawn by six beautiful horses the large float of the Besse-Ashworth Co. attracted well deserved attention. It was one of the best floats in the entire parade. On a large platform a Venetian gondola was placed, and beneath a canopy sat four very pretty young women. The gondolier, attired in the correct costume, and standing at his oar, gave the finishing touch and when this float passed through the streets, it was accorded merited applause. The color scheme was blue and yellow, hundreds of large yellow chrysanthemums having been used in gaining an effect that was not surpassed in the whole parade."--Bangor Daily Commercial, Wednesday, June 19, 1912

On the large float were erected four large columns supported by lattice work at each side, and in the center was a canopy of pure white beneath which sat a charming young woman dressed in a dainty summer gown, and wearing one of the latest hats trimmed in deep red. Along both sides done in letters of red carnations were the words 'Wood & Ewer.' Two handsome brown horses, a pair that were conspicuous by their size, drew the float."--Bangor Daily Commercial, Wednesday, June 19, 1912

The entire body and wheels of the trap which they drew was covered with pink, while the wheels and all exposed parts not in pink were encased in lavendar, in full livery, while the ladies who occupied the rear seat wore pink and lavendar gowns to correspond with the general effect. It was one of the smartest carriage exhibits to enter the parade."--Bangor Daily Commercial, Wednesday, June 19, 1912
