Description
Front: Photograph of Bryan's Cleaners, featuring the delivery trucks and drivers in front of the main office and plant. There is a neon sign featuring their "drive-in" service, with the slogan "in by 11 - out by 4" shown on the arrow. Note the integrated staff of non-white employees. The trucks are older, probably from the 1940's, but the photograph was taken in 1957. Reverse: In black ink, "Bryan's Cleaners 1957 / 544 S. Arroyo Pky".
