Photograph. Black and white photo showing attendees at the "Partners in Progress" lunch. The lunch was held as part of the dedication ceremony for the recently completed power interconnections across the Detroit River and the St. Clair River between the Detroit Edison Company and Ontario Hydro. The ceremony was held on December 18, 1953, at the Detroit Edison Marysville electric power plant. The image looks along the head banquet table. The man in front might be Prentiss Brown, Chairman of Detroit Edison. He is speaking with G. Mennen Williams (wearing bowtie), Governor of Michigan. An aerial transmission tower decoration can be seen on the curtain-covered wall in the background.
