Print, Photographic

Black and white photographic print of heavy traffic on Gratiot Avenue, taken from an elevated vantage point on the southeast side of Gratiot between Jay Street and Orleans Street, facing north. Businesses line both sides of the street, including Silver's Cash Register Exchange, Friedrich Refrigerators, American New and Used Plumbing Supplies, and Roman A. Klem's filling station (which includes signs promoting U.S. Tires, Sinclair Gasoline and Coca-Cola). In the background, signs for H.W. Rickel and Company, and Malooly and Azar Company are visible above the roofline. A "U.S. 25" sign is hung on a lamp post near the bottom of the frame.
