Where Was This Taken? [[1940s)

I cant believe I was so foolish to think those were single record players, I should have known by them names and prices.

Alot of furniture among other wares were all mass produced locally before the semi truck and transportation industry made locally made stuff more or less obsolete.
In many locales your skilled furniture craftsman was also your undertaker.

You bet! "The Greatest Generation" grew up to become great, despite the non-PC environment. Sure makes you think..........

I don't know what this means......

Wow...those were the days... "Candy, cigars, cigarettes, papers, school supplies" Now adays we don't even like Ronald peddling cheeseburgers to the kids!

Wish things were like this again.

Yeah, today we just call those places "CVS".


You can get booze and drugs there, too. lol.

Yeah, but back then you weren't looked down upon for by school supplies and a pack of Winstons.

Here's a label from a dining room set they sold. I found it on an antique site.



I don't know if the 2900 Mack is a mistake or if they moved from 7900 to 2900

I don't know the age of that furniture tag, but Detroit did make big changes to the address numbering system in 1920-21. There was massive growth at the time.

"The Greatest Generation" was a book by Tom Brokaw about the people born in the 1910-1930 generation. Sorry I didn't explain the reference.
