Farr Bros. Appliance Store, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1935-1950
01
Artifact Overview
Photographic cards like this one, with their glued-on labels, were a preliminary step taken by Dexter Press before producing postcards for small-business owners to mail or hand out. This Depression-era appliance store features the newest wringer-washers, radios, and electric refrigerators and ranges -- along with the promise that only $1.00 down payment is needed to take home a new purchase.
