Name/Title
Automobile Supply Store, 1929Description
The details of this auto supply store are consistent with the 1929 date written on the mount. Three men, two dressed in work clothes and a third wearing a tie, perhaps a salesman or manager, stand behind a glass display case filled with automobile supplies. Products visible throughout the store include Gargoyle Mobiloil "A," Velvettouch Ford Transmission Lining, Grey Rock brake lining, and numerous other parts and accessories. A National Cash Register displays "Change" in the amount of $5.05.
On the back wall hangs a humorous sign reading: "We will crank your Ford. Put water and air in your car. Hold your baby. Don't ask us to cash your check. For this one was no good," displayed above what appears to be a bounced check. The decorative pressed metal ceiling, long counter, and extensive inventory suggest this was a well-established retail business rather than a simple repair garage.Made/Created
