DescriptionThis photograph taken by Leo Tiede depicts the Parabest Motor Oil Bowling Team during the early 20th century. At the turn of the century, developments in sporting were taking place around the county. Like-minded enthusiasts banded together and began to organize into social clubs. Other sports requiring more infrastructure also took root. Into the early twenties and thirties, new sporting fads that would become pervasive symbols of American culture joined the fray as well. Leo Tiede’s photograph of the Parabest Motor Oil Bowling Team captures these trends in organized sports associations. By this point the county had already developed into an incredibly complicated structure with each city hosting teams from grade school athletic programs to semi-professional teams.
