(Back to Catalog)

Country Horse Show

In Rockwellian style. A county fair horse showing the contestants and their owners awaiting the winning judgement. A little girl with a camera and gentleman with a cigar look on from the foreground. The gentleman with a cigar is Merizon's very special crony, Henry Becker or Hank. He worked for the railroad in Michigan and the two became fast friends upon meeting at the train station in Grand Rapids on Kalamazoo Ave and Alger/Plymouth. It no longer stands today.
