This photograph, dated 1936, shows the LaPorte American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps proudly displaying their uniforms. The back of the shirts say “Crane Water Heaters,” apparently a sponsor for the corps. As the banner indicates, this group was successful in state competitions, and went to national competitions as well. The setting is the front lawn of the old Bay Tree Inn on Michigan Ave., at the southwest corner of Maple Avenue.
