This picture by G.D. Fronabarger shows Cape Girardeau street department workers collecting leaves on a city street. It was published in the Nov. 8, 1960 edition of the Southeast Missourian. According to the caption, a mechanical sweeper deposits a load of leaves curbside. Then the leaves are picked up by a high lift and loaded onto a truck, which takes the leaves to a dumping ground. One such spot was at North Sprigg and Washington Avenue.
