Photograph caption dated September 29, 1954 reads "Sid (Sweeny) Ettinger, left, captain of Angels, winning team in Builders Emporium sales contest, is congratulated by company president, Victor M. Carter, center, as Bob Hanson, captain of the Stars, is cheered by beauties Ellowene Scott, right, and Gladyce Nelson, left. Store personnel was divided into two teams during recent Homecoming Sale to compete for record breaking sales increase. Stars took a good natured ribbing eating snails and coffee while each member of the winning team was served a de luxe (sic) breakfast at the Bull Pen and handed a crisp new $5 bill by Carter." The store is located at 5960 Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys.
