Cars Parked Outside A&W Root Beer Stand, circa 1950
01
Artifact Overview
From one small walk-up root-beer stand in 1919, A&W grew to cater to the drive-in customer. This photograph from about 1950 shows four cars crowded around the restaurant. By this time, customers didn't need to walk up to the stand; "tray girls" and "tray boys" provided eat-in-your-car service.
