Coralville residents gather outside Koser's Store before embarking on an expedition to see the flooded riverbanks of the Iowa River. Flood water can be seen flowing through the street; two men work with a chain in front of a parked truck, while two other man stand further back from the camera, holding up a bottle as if to toast someone.
The second version of the image is written on in marker; the writer points out different individuals and items in the photograph. Starting from left to right:
"Dad" points to Joseph A. Brandstatter, who wears overalls . He holds up his arm, holding what appears to be a bottle.
An unknown word points to the bottle in Brandstatter's hand.
"Rarey" points to Ray Rarey, who wears a white shirt. He stands next to Brandstatter, also with his arm up; he holds a different bottle in his other hand.
"Refrigerators" points to the two refrigerators sitting on the front porch of Koser's Store.
"John Wineke" points to a man standing in the back of the truck, wearing a hat. He looks directly at the camera. John dressed poultry for Koser's Store.
"Vera" points to a woman also standing in the bed of the truck. This is Vera (Koser) Russell, the daughter of Edward and Harriet (Paintin) Koser. Edward was the original owner of Koser's Store.

A city fire engine from the Coralville Volunteer Fire Department sits parked outside the open fenced gate of the Econogas Company. Inside the fence, a large fire emits a black cloud of smoke into the sky.

Two volunteer firefighters, marked in pen as 'Dick Clinite (retired)' and 'Bill Lee (moved)', observe as the Econogas fire overtakes a truck further away. Clinite stands behind a fire engine with an partially unraveled fire hose at his feet while Lee walks behind him.
According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, no fire fighters were hurt while putting down this fire (1964).

Mayor Alvin Green, wearing a coat, stands next to a snow-covered hose cart. The two-wheeled cart had 1,000 feet of hose, and could be hitched onto a car or pulled by hand according to George Prehoda, Coralville's first fire chief. Rex Brandstatter interviewed Prehoda while writing a piece about the early days of the Coralville Volunteer Fire Department for Lest We Forget (p. 52-53).
The hose cart was the first and sole piece of equipment owned by Coralville Volunteer Fire Department when it first formed in 1929, The cart was used until a fire truck was purchased in March 1937, during Mayor Green's first year in office (Lovetinsky et al, p. 52-53, 78).

An account of the resource
Koser's Store, located on 1st Avenue from 1903-1970, acted as both a grocery store and a community center for Coralville residents. Originally called Wilson's Store after store manager Charles Wilson, the name changed when owner Edward Koser took over management in 1914.
After Koser's death in 1935, the grocery store was run by Vera (Koser) and Wade Russell, Koser's daughter and her husband. In September of 1954, Clifford and Inez (Snavely) Koser bought the store and managed it for 16 years before closing its doors on December 1, 1970 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 60).

An account of the resource
The back yard of the house belonging to J.A. and Genevieve (Nagle) Brandstatter. A shed can be seen attached to several fenced off enclosures. These enclosures hold a number of small dogs.
During the Great Depression, the Brandstatters raised Boston terriers as a source of income. A Boston terrier was a popular choice for a family dog, and the Brandstatters sold these dogs to many families in the Iowa City and Coralville area. Among their buyers was Irving Weber. They kept this business for almost ten years, stopping after World War II began (Brandstatter).

Description
An account of the resource
Fred Paintin,the Coralville town marshal from 1952 to 1957, leaves his car parked on the side of the road. The vehicle, a late 1940's Hudson, is outfitted with a stop light on its front and back. This is one of the last town marshal cars used in Coralville.
Because the Hudson didn't have a police radio or phone, Paintin spent his afternoons at a local restaurant called the Wagon Wheel. There, he drank coffee and waited for the phone to ring. The Wagon Wheel can be seen across the street; it is the first building to the left. The far right building, a white house, belonged to Edward Koser. This photo is taken from Koser's Store across Fifth Street (Brandstatter).
Coralville had town marshals from 1874 to 1956, when Police Chief John McGaffey was hired (Lovetinsky et al., p. 51).

An account of the resource
Two children play in the back yard of a two story house. One child is pulling the front of a go-kart made of wooden boards while smiling at the camera. The other sits on one of the two seats of the kart, hand on the driver's wheel.
Based on the other photographs this image was donated with, it is possible these two children are from the Kriz family, potentially Fred J. and Helen Kriz, the son and daughter of Fred and Mary (Chambers) Kriz.

Description
An account of the resource
Four baskets filled to the brim with corn, apples, beans, and other produce sit outside the Kriz family home. Flowers bloom alongside the side of the house.
Home-grown produce like this was often sold at farmers' markets and local grocery stores. After the harvest season, produce was preserved to last through winter months (Walch, p. 44).
