Description
Boyle Brothers Cleaners, located at 1730 Broadway, is pictured here in 1949. The business was founded by brothers Edwin and Calvert Boyle, just prior to World War I. Tragedy struck the family in the spring of 1935, when Calvert disappeared. His body was finally discovered in the Sacramento River in June, when it was learned that he apparently had committed suicide. Worth noting in the photo are a "38 Years of Service" indicator and a sign advertising the cleaning of coats and dresses for $1.25.
