Description
Photograph of a line of people looking at two men in a small automobile, [s.d.]. Both men can be seen wearing hats, while the passenger is visible wearing a suit. The automobile is facing left and can be seen on the far side of a road. The driver can be seen seated on the right side of the car. A line of men, women, and children can be seen standing next to one another along the sidewalk behind the automobile. Most of the men can be seen wearing suits and hats, while the women are visible wearing knee-length dresses and hats. A parking lot of automobiles can be seen behind the group of onlookers, while a house-like structure can be seen towards the back of the lot. A brick building can be seen to the left of the lot, while a portion of a truck can be seen parked in front of it. A building with rectangular-shaped windows is visible in the background. The back of an automobile facing right can be seen in the right foreground.
Legible signs from left to right include, "[...]rket", "[...]ery", "[E.] A. Morrison Gro[ccery]", "U Drive [...]", "Drive [...] System $5.00 [...]", "If I Was Rich [...]", "Auto [Pa]rk", "Jordan's Chryslers 10 Cents Per [...]".
