Research by Judith Harris

Alfred Harris, Peoria's birdman, has been added to the list of attractions on the program of the Larkin club picnic to be held at Al Fresco park tomorrow. The aviator will fly to the park and will give a series of exhibition flights at 3:30 pm.

The line of march for the big parade of the Larkin employees has been mapped out by the committee. Leaving the plant at the foot of Harrison street, the procession will travel west on Harrison street to Adams, north on Adams to Liberty, west on Liberty to Jefferson, north on Jefferson to Hamilton, west on Hamilton to Madison, south on Madison to Main, east on Main to Adams, south on Adams to Harrison, and thence to the Larkin plant. Here they will board special cars for the picnic grounds.
