Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated March 9, 1963 reads, "Great campaign stunt: Pat Michaels has six garbage trucks circulating with his number, STate 9-9012. If you live in the Second District and give a call, Pat dispatches a truck to pick up your combined rubbish, free of charge. It's kind of a helpful byproduct of his councilmanic campaign. We think it's just fine and are not deterred by the response of a Blanchardophile. "Pat Michaels is sending out garbage trucks," she was told. "Appropriate," she answered."
